Snow Risk Western Ireland Jan 20-22

I think this band could suprise some people and move a bit further inland then you think its moving a lot faster then yesterday already at the tips of kerry

snaps

Yes that band looks stronger and more active, the low pressure thats associated with it is moving towards us to. Only thing i'm worried about is temperatures, its warmer today than yesterday.

General question - has the snow melted everywhere or can anyone suggest somewhere within 1 hr drive of Cork City that would have a lot of lying snow even this evening. Half thinking I'd drive my little son out to see it if so......

Macroom still has snow I think

yes your right here but i think as it passes the snow fields in kerry temps could drop i could be wrong but we will have to wait and see.

I find this link very reliable and seems to what Met Eireann are relying their update at 4 21 on.

JanuarySnowstor

Well the Met update is very encouraging tonight, they seem to be totally ignoring the UKMO and GFS.
Saying that it was pbly written prior to these models updates.
Radar encouraging so not all lost yet

Im looking at a big menacing wall of dark cloud to my west in last hour or so. 1.7c at the mo and dropping. All the high ground still white here

South kerry.

plenty of snow in the ballyhoura's just north of doneraile .lots of access roads to take you to the edge of the forest which has plenty of roads and tracks.
(edit)Doneraile park may still have snow as well.main gate will be closed but park outside and go in the pedestrian gate which is usually open

CB19Kevo

Currently -0.2 @ South Kerry with pressure dropping.
Lots of lying snow still here despite high temps/melting earlier.

Its been looking like that all day near Dublin airport and towards swords and nothing!!

At least we may get a frost tonight before a few showers may brush the southeast and east coast towards dawn.

Infact inland southeastern areas are at risk of some snow later.

few folk in here from over my way and they have been getting the same that it has been on and off,more off of late but this morning it was pelting the odd time,misses had the kids out for hours in the snow:mad:

Looking at the radar the precip is coming in alright so the latest models could be wrong, also posted over in the other threads were the latest TAFs showing snow for Cork Airport. We might still be in with a shout.

Hirlam much different and i found this very reliable last night.

Left a frost free dooradoyle at 8.20 this morning for Newcastle west. Not a flake in the city, sleet in adare, very heavy by croke. NCW was covered in a couple of inches.. Funny how 20 miles out the road can be another world altogether.

SeaFields

Just after a drive to local shop. Mixture of sleet and snow fell briefly. Maybe for 10 minutes. Stopped again. Temp 2.6.

South kerry.

marno21

-2.5C here with very icy roads already. Snow on the way?

dave1982

Went from 4c at about 5;45 its now -0.5 with a light mist

Precipitation seems to be fizzling out http://www.met.ie/weathermaps/radar2/WEB_radar3_201301211830.png

Ukmo high res rainfall prediction for 9pm shows nothing,
