Still shaking my head. you are living in the wrong place for snow. Maybe change country...else get used to it! snow is a good servant but a poor master. Not worth getting upset at its absence...ah well!

Apart from the northwest i doubt ulster will see to much.
Shower of snow/hail/sleet here about 4 o'clock.
It's freezing hard now so the roads will some state later, don't fancy me chances of getting a taxi home tonight.

Snap - it's just arrived to East Meath. Fingers crossed.:D

I think the bigger inconvenience now is ice and frost especially where any precip has fallen today. Take care on the roads or walking tonight and tomorrow.

These shallow lows as I've been told they're called are interesting on the ECM, have been appearing for the last 3 runs.

With -4/-5 uppers though they are less interesting than I want them to be.

Snowing here in Donegal again, not lying where I am but further inland I'm sure is accumlating nicely.

The weather forecast after the 6 news was very promising for snow tonight in the north and west. Even had exclamation marks beside the snow showers! Many in agreement with this?

Lads surely ye cant get excited about that muck earlier. It was Horrible

Has anyone spotted the largish band of cloud with associated precipitation currently moving due south from the north. The main area of precip appears to be over and to the west of Scotland.
If it does make landfall on this island, I'm sure it will either A: Die out once it hits the border or B: begin to move south east to join the rest of the airflow direction at the moment, move into the Irish Sea, intensify again and plaster Wales and NW England!

So Dublin will get snow after all. Excellent.

Clutching at straws I fear. It sounded quite impressive on my velux windows. Alas it wasn't to be.

My kids are dying for some snow - my three year old has yet to experience it. I was pregnant with her for the 2010/2011 spectacular snow fest and I'm waiting for a decent snow for her the last two years.:(

Thinking i might be too close to the coast to see a repeat of Tuesday and Wednesday morning. Mainly sleety showers here in Sligo at the mo.

Yeah my young fella was 4 for that, he loved it, every winter since, but with less expectations, he wants the same to happen again.

Looking ahead to Monday night into Tuesday N/NE and E areas greatest risk of disruptive snow.

It'll be a fairly marginal event surely? Maybe on higher ground...

2117 update from met eireann
Ongoing wintry showers in the north and west tonight giving accumulations of snow inland, especially on higher ground. Elsewhere, mainly dry with clear spells apart from a few wintry flurries in the midlands. There'll be frost and icy stretches on untreated surfaces with lowest temperatures between zero and minus 4 degrees. Winds light to moderate, mainly westerly.

I note the sea temperature off the Irish Sea coast is a nicely chilly 4C...now all we need is that Beasterly!

Kermit.de.frog

18z GFS prolonging the cold snap until at least next Friday with rain, sleet and snow at times, cold and frosty nights and the continuing threat of an easterly incursion. Plenty of evolution in the forecast to come yet. Temperatures generally remaining in low single figures by day.

Monday night will be a mix of rain, sleet and snow. Another possibility emerging that should be watched is Tuesday night when there is another snow risk for a time across the country.

Not necessarily a good thing though. The bigger the difference between SSTs and 850 temps, the better the convection for lake effect snow (Irish Sea streamers). But then again lower SSTs help keep surface air temps down, so it can be a trade-off in terms of temp vs. precip. 2010 hit the sweet spot, with very cold air over a relatively warm sea.
