There was never going to be any snow for Dublin. It looked near guaranteed that coastal areas were well over the wrong side of marginal due to maritime influence.

I believe there might be some backedge snowfall come friday AM from the low, which is shown on the Met office UKMO graphics, (between 1-5AM) as the wind veers NE

Yeah true mate but I wouldn’t be trustworthy on any of them delivering snow on the immediate coast, perhaps sleet and hail at best.

Off topic, I hit that full site option, I can't get back to the weather threads, except this one, even the boards options and threads look different, any help would be great

Go down to where you clicked on full site. It should now say touch site. Click that, then click main boards header and you’re back to how it was.

Any time you want to post a pic or YouTube, you have to go to full site again, do the do then click back to touch.

That option not there anymore, display has all changed

You probably need to look harder. I just checked on my phone and I can see "Touch Site" to the left of "Responsive Site", at the very bottom... Well technically the second last line of text.

Having said that, I'm on an Android phone but the display on the full site should be the same on any OS.

Inland should be ok for snow tomorrow but more so through the evening. Nothing particularly heavy though. More light - moderate.

As that front pushes up through Cork it shows snow in places, I wonder what level we are talking to see it?

So a total non event, hype upon hype all adding up to nothing. Oh well, wonder what winter 2019/2020 holds?

2018/2019 is still not over. as syranbruen said many a time, the later stages of winter, we have done good for ourselves.

We still have second half of February all to play for. March quite often throws us a frigid surprise. I reckon I can remember more easterly's during March than any other month of the year.

True , suppose it can snow up to the end of March. But this winter has been a total write off (from a Dublin perspective), I'm just anticipating more of the same....

Me too, its a build up that hasn't worked out as of yet each time. It has been depressing to be a Dub this winter. Not a flake is Swords. Ahh well you can't have it all. :0

The display looks different as you are on full site. Just scroll down to the bottom of page. It’s on the right hand side (responsive site) is furthest right.
Click it and then scroll up and click the header that says boards so you get the screen to display in touch mode again.

I use iPhone, it is there.

May is the most easterly month on average.

In Portlaoise i'd rate our chances of seeing a decent snowfall 50:50.

Though at times like this i wish i was back where i was born and bred as at 324m asl the chances are probably 80:20.

How and ever, for the vast majority of us ANYTHING can happen yet.

Is Easter the most easterly day?

The poor grand childers not seeing snow is the giveaway:D

I always find it funny how people react. It's weather..you roll with the punches. If it snows great, if it doesn't we have 5-6 weeks where we may get a fall. If we don't...the world won't end. There's plenty more life to be lived. Everything's a bonus.
