Must say the sky is the brightest I've seen it in a long time in winter because of all the reflected light. Looks amazing.

Remember folks all this is sea effect snow. The "main event" is forecast tomorrow late on and into Monday but met.ie an MT both predicting it as possible sleet along the coast so us Dubs might be having our night tonight and until 10amish when the temps pull above freezing.

1.6 now and rising (cloud coming?)

No snow

Hmm debating weather (see what i did there lol) or not to call you a wind bag

Sitting here in Blackrock, Dublin for the last ¾ of an hour, am about a kilometre from the Irish sea.

The pattern seems to be 5 minutes of heavy snow gradually dying out, followed by nothing for 5-10 minutes, and then back to another 5 minute heavy burst etc.

Nothing to see but stars in the sky here in Galway, so I'm not too optomistic about a snowfall in the next few hours. The snow that fell 2 days ago is still lying on the ground. A small few flakes fell this afternoon for about 10 minutes but that was it since.

Lovely went it fell for those 10 minutes though - was at the Corrib (with mini icebergs floating down it!) looking over at Menlo Castle, everything in sight white with frost, big lazy flakes of snow falling everywhere, was pretty cool

...Still, more snow please!

R-ight now I'm going to un-bar you and shoot you on the nose:P:P:P

I just hope this moves up the coast to me so we can have a fresh dusting of snow....It's not fair the England has all this lovely white stuff:rolleyes:

Hi
I have just driven from Dublin Airport to Narraghmore Co Kildare, snowing all the way. Fair play to all the artic drivers doing 50kmph down the Naas bypass.
Pedigree

Good call, and fair play to them for keepin it between the ditches, if theres one thing I know about truck drivers, they know exactly the edge of reason when it comes to what they can get away with, although the ones who jacknife and the ones who land in thru someones gable end, they didnt know **** did they. Remember lads, if the salt runs out, the trucks will be immobilised on the inclines, thats when you will know you should have stocked up.

Weather update for Meath South/East: looks like a clearance to clear sky/ high cloud for the minute

Its getting much longer between the snow showers now. Been nothing since I last posted.

You know though Duff if you do get snow there in Navan now it won't be a whole lot. It is showery stuff coming in east off the Irish sea. The big snow forcasted for Sunday day is coming from the south. It will hit Munster and south Leinster first before pushing up to us.

Along the Coast is usually defined as somewhere between 5-8miles from the coast. Most of Dublin away from this should be fine for snow ,and the way things are going at the moment most inside this band will see some wintery precip

One of the lads posted that in an earlier thread , I cant find it now .

Its still bucketing down snow here in Newbridge

Do you think it will be a decent fall?

About 3 inches of snow in Dublin 13.

Anyway on a weather related note, check this video out, and just keep going back to 18 seconds. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7CT0a-Hgumo&feature=popt00ie00

Poor guy, hope he's ok, looks like he banged his head hard.
