Towards morning a scattering of wintry showers will spread further South and East to other parts also.

Friday 29 January 2016 13:00

Valid:
Saturday 30 January 2016 00:01 to Saturday 30 January 2016 12:00

I expect North, West and midlands only to be affected. DP looks like it'll be touch and go elsewhere. Either way, it will get mild very quick from tomorrow afternoon so it will be short lived

Stoned Since 2011

Drive carefully folks.

Just a quick question. Is there a possibility that this precipitation for snow will reach north co. dublin by any chance during saturday ?.

Everything is white out there now, the showers are looking heavier on the radar, -0.9 C dp.-2.8C. Gets very gusty as the showers pass and then calms down again

Double posts and the layout of boards seems to be a big problem since the DDOSS attacks.
