Cork will be livid!

Although looks like they may get some snizzle soon.

Is the Isle Of Man possibly killing the intensity of the showers over Louth, Meath and North Dublin. The stuff most of us have seen is really just snizzle, light snow that isnt making any impact. There now seems a train of very heavy snow showers thats gonna keep most of south Wicklow and north Wexford happy for quite a while to come as those areas have the longest shower sea fetch.

A few flakes in the suburbs of Waterford City.

Possibly but it's a bit of a strange setup at the moment, not really a classic streamer setup with the dreaded IOM shadow where you can see defined lines of showers. There seems to be more widespread instability with showers popping up everywhere and anywhere with some intensifying over land even.

I have my eye on that blob just off Holyhead. It's been growing and intensifying the past few frames, possibly a more easterly direction too.

There does seem a nicer convective band forming now but as Gonzo alluded to, angled for Wicklow Wexford trajectory.

Obviously taller cloud heights here breaking through the cap.

Although i think a move towards more hail like precipitation is likely as dps will rise in the Irish sea but more a result of the convection occurring than the atmosphere notably warming.

Anymore snow for south Dublin?

Agree with that.
Last shower here started as graupel,then heavy snow.
Breeze has got up here and the temp is rocketing (relatively) as is the dewpoint.

At this rate,those showers if they get here could be sleety rain!

Now 1.4/0.4

18z NAE has the Irish Sea DPs rising while lowering inland for the next few hours. A few miles inland would certainly help alright. Arklow looked like getting a hammering earlier. If it's not one thing it's the other eh :rolleyes:

A return to a surface land westerly would be helpful

still low dps here, -3c

aurora 527

Heavy shower here now in Waterford starting to stick,,, snow its like searching for the holy grail:D

Indeed, the best snow here today was blowing from the west. When the easterly surface wind kicked in it definitely turned more sleety. Westerly surface winds helped a lot at times in 2010 too.

Dare I say it but the heavy band of precip looks set to also hit Dublin head on, as well as Wicklow and north Wexford....there, I've gone and jinxed it now....it'll be hail, sleet, rain and a bit of graupel with just a few flakes thrown in to tease everyone!

TheMilkyPirate

Heavy snow here again

I'm thinking the same, half an hour ago it looked like Wicklow was in the firing line and it would give Dublin a miss but as that blob approaches I think you may be right......... or should I say I hope you're right!

My thoughts too, but shhhhhhh. It's about two hours away anyway so plenty of time for it to disappear, fizzle out, or INTENSIFY!!!

Looks more like it's sliding south and will miss Dublin altogether.

I think the IOM shadow might mean a lot miss out

atsbury

Snowing in Wexford town for the past hour or so. Nice big flakes falling! Nearly 1cm lying on the grass!

BLIZZARD7

Heading towards wicklow with northern side catching dublin if you ask me.

At the moment it looks like the northern edge will clip Dublin City, with the bulk of it hitting between Bray and Arklow. It's still getting bigger though so hard to tell what will happen.

EDIT: Blizzard7 got there first :P

convection on that train has all but stopped now at the point where it has been bubbling up.
So there's mainly just the existing carriages.
I think they will hit land north of Arklow actually,avoiding south wicklow/North wexford by the looks of things,

You're about to get hit by the southern edge in the next 30 mins or so though.

And unless my eyes are deceiving me, there's a little speck of purple on the latest frame heading in your general direction.
