its great to hear from the west after so many days of it being all about us in the east

Clouds in North Dublin/East Meath practically appeared out of nowhere* & are looking very threatening.

*This may not be true as I last looked out of the window an hour ago and am keeping the curtains closed to keep the heat in.

skynew saying the northwesterly will be snow for us saturday but rain for wales...its good that we (dublin) are not on the wrong side of the sea on this occasion

surely chuck norris doesn't rely on mother nature for snow? can he not just make it snow?

Jesus theres about 10 inches of snow on my shed, I don't think it will hold anymore! Are we expecting much snow on the East coast?

Irish1967 is the roads bad in Donegal Town, live in Ballybofey but work in Donegal Town. Anyway, about 2 inches of snow in Ballybofey, current temp 0.6.

Drummer Mummer

Dry and dull, -4c at 7.30 now -2c. Roads like a skating rink around here

Scartbeg

Just started snowing here east of Mitchelstown. Look out for a rapid rise in temp as the warm (realtively!) front comes in.

Looking forward to giving my winter tyres their first proper outing of the year


p.s. It's -16C in my hometown of Aberdeen, multiple feet of snow. Feeling homesick!

Brenireland

Raining in Crossmolina Mayo now.

Back to norm then.

smokin ace

with reports from posters getting rain and sleet will that effect the front when it arrives in the east/south east coast in other words will we get snow
