    Fully agree, I have said all day that we will have a large thaw tomorrow and likely suffer floods. As i type it is still bucketing snow and with the disturbance running across the south the wind will not bak south of east until tomorrow.Therefore a few hours more of snow here, then a slight freeze up as it clears before the mild wins out tomorrow
    A lot of people in South cork are reporting rain now already..

    Whats going to happen for the cork is that as winds turn more SE temperatures will rise abit towards dawn along the coast as per the east coast.

    I don't mind the rise in Temperature, I just hope that the precipitation has moved away by then, leaving the snow on the ground at least until tomorrow evening.

    Bang on, now raining in the city thanfully, as we are not coped to deal with snow at all, power cuts, water running out, idiots not driving slow enough and crashing everywhere etc etc. Hope it doesnt freeze on all this, and all will be back to normal, rain, and small frosts at night.

    I don't understand why anybody wants rain.

    Yes getting marginal now away from high ground
    PPN is getting lighter which doesn't help marginality
    Still what a great days snow, best hope now is for it to clear from cork and leave it maybe freeze up a little!

    will it freeze much though? if it does roads will be dreadful whether it be slush or rain.

    I say if it does it will have to happen early in the night
    Remember ground temps are very low so it can freeze with air temps at 2-3C

    Don't think that's quite accurate. People in the city are reporting rain. Up here on the high ground south of the airport, it's still snowing lightly. DP remains stubbornly below zero.

    Definitely thawing here east of Cork city. I hope it continues to thaw. I've had my fun with the snow, now I want nice normal Irish weather.

    Still snowing quite heavily here in East Cork. I'm fairly high up so not sure what way the low lying areas are.
