Not here, there's plenty of cloud overhead, although I'm facing west and can't see out east!

Don't worry about it. Met Eir just forecast 4 - 8 inches tomorrow for Dublin.

They've gone and jinxed it now

More immediately, it's hard to read the activity in the Irish sea. If it'll bring much of anything or not. Some of it seems to have decayed a bit on the latest radar. We'll see as it get closer to land.

I am thinking that Met Eireann have gone and jinxed it, but tomorrow afternoon may be when the east coast is cold enough for snow to settle. I wouldn't rule a couple more inches of snow in Dublin city by tomorrow night at least.

looks like it but the streamers seems to be getting weaker and weaker as they get close to land. we'll see when they arrive i guess:rolleyes:

joes girls

Not much happening here(so far) today, there was a thaw, but think it's stopped now. Does not feel as cold as yesterday. It will take a good thaw to get rid of our Snow:)

Also for the clowns that are flying around in their 4x4s thinking they won't skid, bear in mind they will, when you apply the brakes when trying to avoid a poor kid enjoying the snow.

That streamer in dublin bay seems to have put on a bit of bulk again, the clouds off the coast look nasty, might get a bit in Dublin soon (but dont hold me to it)

Keep having to get the calculator out - still can't visualize cm's, only inches! I blame it on my age and spending 13 years in the US!
