    A 3 degree drop in Belmullet this hour on the 1700 reports its down to 4 degrees from 7 degrees with a gust of 49kts and a moderate shower. I think it could be a very interesting 24 hours :):). dew point at Knock is -1

    The TAF for knock is showing that between 0600-1500 tomorrow visibility will be 500 meters with Snow showers and a cloud base of just 100ft. so any snow lovers that want to see some fairly decent showers Knock would not be a bad option tomorrow.

    I reckon a line roughly down from Derry to Dungarvan , roughly speaking, anywhere west of that plenty of chances to see snow, east of it not so much.

    Great video from the Met office detailing snow accumulation for Ireland. As a rule half the projection for a more accurate depth. Shows lots of Ireland under a covering

    I'm going to be a Scrooge and ignore this warning, no joy for me from any of the previous snow warnings this winter.:(
    Some accumulations would be nice to see.

    Will be lots of slushy deposits that will melt between showers, but where you get into a convergence line you will be laughing, and any bit of elevation will help, could be widespread cover tomorrow night

    MT Cranium is underestimating this short snap I think. Most areas away from the immediate coast should see at least 3/4cm tomorrow, up to 8 in the luckier areas (and obviously more over high ground). 850s down to about -8, 500s down to -40, pressure very low and wind not that strong - good combination for instability. Thundersnow a real possibility also. A WSW flow is a lot better for eastern areas than a W or NW flow, so there could be a dusting here also.
