    6.2c with a DP 1c here atm. I'd say higher parts of Wicklow Mountains (e.g. Lug) could get quite a blanketing of snow from this system.

    I'd agree with you there. Currently 2.4c at 450m in the blackstairs. The Wicklow Mountains are usually colder again. I'd say anything 700m up could see some white stuff for a time.

    It's getting very windy here in Cork already.
    Unusual system the way it has developed and come up from France.
    I've a funny feeling this one could be a damaging storm for Southern areas

    Agreed.
    There was still snow on the top of lug this morning from the last system.
    still dry in Arklow but black now to the east.
    Very very windy down here. Frequent gusts above 40 MPH and howling.
    That's going to be very vile when those pinks and reds on the radar come ashore.
    Driving sheets of rain.

    Wind gusting to 79 km/h at the weather station in Dun Laoghaire harbour. Sea getting quite wild here in Dalkey, waiting for the rain.

    Funny how the weather in the past month or so has been quite interesting :)
