    Villain, I am a few KM's from you in Carlow town. Is that a correct reading?!
    Presently -6.3C on Browneshill Road. What a difference, I have your weather station page saved as a tab in Firefox, I view it every day and it is great by the way.

    Graiguecullen here, I'm only reading a miserable :p -4.4c. Although it is pretty still out there, was going to put a fan into the Stevenson during the summer, regret it now! :rolleyes:

    Sky news are forecasting snow for the west coast tomorrow and predicting it will hit Cork and Kerry also. Also, massive show for Sunday. I don't have a great deal of confidence in Sky but there you are. I'd be happy to be wrong.

    Met Eireann say different! :p

    SATURDAY and SUNDAY will both be bright and mostly dry with moderate northeast winds, which will push some wintry showers of hail, sleet or snow on to Ulster and Leinster coasts. Winds will become mostly easterly through Sunday night and Monday with wintry showers becoming more prevalent on east and south coasts, while the rest of the country will be mostly dry.

    Depends on where your itouch gets its info from, its usually Accuweather? I think.... could be right.

    Have a look here, thats a pretty reliable indication of temps:
