ME forecast shows temps down to 0C across the south, even colder further north. Good news if precipitation is heading your way.

And of course the all important dew points!

Yeah it's a graupel is what's falling here.
We need heavier stuff to move in and then it's bingo!!

I'm very confident that Cork City will see lying snow tonight
You will need high ground though, which as we know is a plenty in suburban areas
Reports from Cobh of just drizzle, might be just too near the coast for the moment

ahh , but usually its all about the east/dublin and the north , as thats where normally gets the most snow.

decent chance for some bit of snow in the west , southwest and inland south tonight so i dont see any harm in having a thread for just this area for once as its not all that often that a decent chance pops up for snow in the likes of cork kerry and surrounding areas !!

not having a go , its just handy to have a seperate thread for all the southwestie guys to report whats going on in their area rather than having it all mixed up in the other threads .

bitterly cold in tipp , looks like them showers are beefing up a small bit ? , hopefully anyway they make it a nice bit inland !!

Ya more rain really then sleet here in Grange! Bit hard to tell though as my lamppost is across the road! Anyone know the current temp for Douglas area? The iPhone app is saying 2c but I'm always reluctant to trust it fully
