I suggest you take a look at the 850hPa and 700 hPa wind charts from the NAE model this morning;) They're backing more easterly as the day goes on!

(Those wind charts refer to the wind direction and strength about a kilometre or so above us.)

Yea NAE have 20mm of accumed precip here by midnight.

But 850hpa winds only swing E briefly towards 6pm.

If you look at the radar images here: http://www.raintoday.co.uk/ you can see that showers are developing to the north and to the south of the isle of man, and anywhere on the coast here in line with the IoM relative to the wind direction, is likely to not receive snow.

I understand what that means, but if it were cloud before passing OVER the isle of man, why isn't is cloud after the isle of man?

surely the isle of man hasn't got a massive volcano to catch the cloud..

Danbo!

Out for a nice long walk dub 16/24, got destroyed, very blizzardy. Of course as I approached the house it laid off.

Right lads, we ask no questions and just enjoy the snow right?

I mean, what are the chances someone managed to shove the Isle of Man into Loch Neagh. Silly right? :pac:

Easing off in Blackrock now!

So has the forecast actually changed?? I certainly didn't see this much snow for Dublin in it??

Or maybe I just saw the wrong one.

Is this meant to go on all day?? Anyone think our show is still gonna happen tonight??

Doesn't look like Cork is going to see a shred today, unless what's happening in Newbridge at the moment makes its way slip sliding down our way.

Boo hoo hoo!!!!

Mister men

It just keeps coming here in D14. 4-5 inches in my back garden now.

Havn't looked at any weather forecast or anything since yesterday afternoon. Is the West due anything? I know Friday is/was a maybe but that could just be rain?!

Speak Now

Saturday's snow never got to thaw so 8 inches now in the garden.
Best/worst snow since 82, surpassed 87 now.

So...I do realise the answer to this but my heart is saying "Just ask! What's the worst they'll tell you?!"

Am supposed to be meeting friends in Galway today. This was all arranged weeks ago for mutual days off, haven't seen each other in months. Would be driving down from Sligo. What's the roads like?

Came down on the bus yday. Roads aren't that bad. Bit of snow around Tuam but all in all they're ok I'd say.

I can see that cloud over the trees. If it hits Kilkenny i's some job.

I think, and excuse the use of technical terms, that the Isle of Man is just a stupid snow spoiling island. they must have massive hairdryers turned on or something, probably powered by those tail-less cats.

I think dublin is going to miss a lot a lot of this snow again today, the wind direction is pretty similar to yesterday, although it is a lot colder.
Citywest seems to be getting a few showers but nothing too heavy. plus it looks like the major snowfalls have passed, The radar doesnt seems to show much more

Birdnuts

Steady snow here again with an impressive 20cm on the ground:D

Pretty good chance of another few inches this evening.

their developing again on either side of the isle of man but like a divide in the road, their running parallel to each other and D15 is caught in the middle of that divide

Batesy

Bucketing down heavy snow in Cabinteely for over an hour now. Not looking good for the commute home.
