Looks like showers will begin to push further inland in the east and southeast from this afternoon onwards late into tonight.

Think we are right in the line of fire again here in Waterford city after last nights dumping. Could be another big fall today. Temp -1.4c DP -2.9. Went out earlier and shot this video. Somebody had a bit of fun and put a huge snowball in the middle of the road :eek:

lots of snowing falling in Newbridge - adding to last night's accumulation. Looks like it's going to be snowing for a while - the sky looks full!

What are your accumulations like there ?

Sky News seem to be showing all of the east coast later. Hopefully there will be no more shadow effect.

would i be right in saying the shadow effect only happens when streaming from a NE direction, but if it turns east it will some in under the IOM?

There is plenty of snow coming but hopefully comes from east directly after leaving britan.

Why is there a near constant radar shadow (the raintoday radar) in Dublin bay, around the Rush/Skerries/Howth area? Is it just the web feed that is a bit 'stuck'? It was there most of yesterday as well I remember.

I have 6 inches in the Driveway , on top of the wall in the backyard there is 8 :eek:

Herself had to go to work this morning , they told her the weather would be fine and to come in ! Any way just under an inch from where her car pulled out .

We even have tiny little drifts going on here ,

So the BBC has the forecast up to Sunday looking like this:

Looks like Friday is the only day we're likely to see snow on this side of our lovely little island Up to then it's just stoopid freezing temps re-freezing that little bit of snow we got over the weekend. :mad:

I saw that too. It looks like it might be related to the ILS at dublin airport interfering with the weather radar. It looks like cones lining up with the direction of the runways.

Unbelievable in Kinnegad, haven't seen this since i was a kid

Blizzard like conditions in tinahely. Not stopped snowing since last night.

Heavy snowfall around Kilcock area. I got home 10pm last night & it was just starting. When other half got home near to midnight there was probably a foot of snow. We had to go for a snow walk to collect a piece of car after he'd slid off the road into a ditch!

I don't remember ever seeing snow this thick in Ireland, when we were out snow walking at 12.30 last night there were a few other couples out doing the same thing & also a couple people milling around in cars just for the crack of the skidding

by the time he's worked his way round the car, the windows he started on were all snowed over again!
