    Thanks MT.


    Showers on the Irish sea just beginning to change track now to a more Southwesterly direction. Think Wicklow will be in the firing line shortly and as the winds back further Northeast to East later more northern East coast locations aswell. Wicklow, Wexford shortly having coastal snow showers.

    Reminds me of Joyce's beautiful lines...


    A few light taps upon the pane made him turn to the window. It had begun to snow again. He watched sleepily the flakes, silver and dark, falling obliquely against the lamplight. The time had come for him to set out on his journey westward. Yes, the newspapers were right: snow was general all over Ireland. It was falling on every part of the dark central plain, on the treeless hills, falling softly upon the Bog of Allen and, farther westward, softly falling into the dark mutinous Shannon waves. It was falling, too, upon every part of the lonely churchyard on the hill where Michael Furey lay buried. It lay thickly drifted on the crooked crosses and headstones, on the spears of the little gate, on the barren thorns. His soul swooned slowly as he heard the snow falling faintly through the universe and faintly falling, like the descent of their last end, upon all the living and the dead.

    With a little bit of luck they might continue inland in that south westerly direction . . .;)

    Nacho how many inches of snow is there at you now alltogether?
    See RTE Said there was 4 inches in Killkenny yet one of our posters showed us 8 inches ;)
    Snow measurments are much more reliable on Boards. :)

    5 and a half inches.
    i see evelyn is quick to look for an end. you can be sure if it was mild she wouldn't be looking out for signs of colder weather;)

    I'd imagine it would be mainly the top end of that streamer that would make landfall alright.
    The rest will be wasted at sea.Theres a long shot that it might come in around rosslare somewhere.
