Light snow again here in Dundalk. Nice flakes. Bands over Co. Down appear to be trying to move towards here. Could have the odd shower throughout the night.

This snow shower seems to be coming from a westerly direction, all the other snow for arklow came from the east it seems like its the snow from earlier blowing back this way

John2009

Cloud breaking up above and starting to clear up and the bare few flakes fell earlier, so so disappointed i thought we were in for a good covering tonight at least

Mike Litoris

Nothing yet in Ballyfermot. Clouds to the north and east though.

Just watched the BBC report. Tuesday and Wednesday will be unreal for Dublin and the Midlands.

Today I got the ferry across to Holyhead and had to travel through a blizzard out in the middle of the Irish Sea (probably the system that is hitting Ireland now). I'm close to Snowdon here, living halfway up a mountain but it looks like ye lucky feckers will get all the bloody snow! :mad:

EarlERizer

Latest from met eireann .....

Widespread severe frost again this evening and tonight with hazardous driving conditions. Much of the country will be dry and clear, but snow showers will occur too, mainly across coastal counties of the north, south and east, with new accumulations in places. Risk of thunder too. Minimum temperatures -2 to -8 degrees, but as low as -10 degrees over snow fields. Some freezing fog in places too, with just light northeasterly winds.

Ya never know what we'll wake up to in the morning :cool: .....I blame Brian Cowen for the lack of snowfall !!! he's even turned the weather off us !! :rolleyes:

Tuesday and Wednesday you say, hopefully, maybe that big band coming up from the south of England will produce something

Looks like its about an hour away from Wexford
