    I think one of the main issues with today is not totally down to the dew points or temperature but the overall lack of precipitation.

    I haven't read very many reports of heavy precipitation apart from some western and southern areas. If precipitation was properly decent, some places could have done rather well with snow.

    Still chances of dustings at low levels further south later this evening and tonight.

    Will be banking on the Irish Sea to perform some luck and much needed magic later tonight, again i'm clutching the Straws from Winter 2017.

    It definately turned more to snow for a while when it got heavier earlier in Galway, the temp in the car also dropped. It turned back to sleet shortly after and was less intense.

    Hasn’t stopped precipitating here at Gal/Tipp border all day...but not a drop of it has been snow :(

    dew points in your area have been around 2 or 3C all day. Further north were dew points have been around 0C, precipitation just didn't really get going other than spots of drizzle, light rain or a few flurries here and there.

    You may be in luck later with dew points lowering, could be a covering in some southern areas by the morning.

    My own workplace were sharing this repeatedly and saying they wouldn't be in today, calling snowmageddon and saying they would be snowed in. Meetings and events cancelled and emergency plans put in place for shift staff.

    I pointed out it was fake news and nearly had my head chewed off, and told to cop on.

    I think its a disgrace that sort of thing is posted.

    Were you the only one in work today ?:)

    Winds are still from the south? Temps dropping a bit now to 5C

    Down to 2.1c at mine with DP of 1.2c but not much precip about.

    A station on the backstairs at 300M had a max temp of 0.6c today.

    Ironic that the older generation who warned us all not to believe or trust anything nevermind everything on the internet are now the generation that believe everything on the internet.

    Did I read earlier on this thread a poster talking about red level warnings for today? I’m not trolling I’m genuinely asking before the usual torrent of abuse comes.

    Yes you did read that, and you would have also read their post saying - oh ok, hands up, I called it wrong
    Not trolling, cmon Clonmel

    I'm near Dublin Airport now and it's just a normal, cold, damp day. We'd have to get a mad snow storm in the next hour or so to affect you I'd say.

    Flying is safe these days so you have nothing to worry about, watch out for them dubs when you land though, they'll rob the eye out of your head.

    I'm only up the road (50M ASL) and It's 3.9C here, crazy what "down the road" a difference can make.

    In other news, my friend who lives in Hereford England has had nothing all day, despite his area of the midlands supposed to get pasted betwwen 2pm- overnight. weird.

    Latest Dublin Forecast from Met Eireann -

    Very cold this evening and overnight with further wintry falls and there will be some snow accumulations. Showers dying out in the early morning. Frost and icy conditions too. Lowest temperatures of 0 to -2 degrees .

    I'm not expecting much below ~150m but we shall see.

    If you check netweather its showing a band of snow (most likely high levels) in like mitchelstown, tallow and up to Limerick where it becomes sleet.

    I've seen lying snow in this part of Dublin on 27th March 2013 and 4th March 2016 outside of 2010 and 2018 this decade.

    I remember Easter being early one year and we had lying snow - looking at the calendar, it was 2013 which correlates with the 2013 date you mention above.

    The main heavy area of precipitation is struggling to get into the UK, most of it is around Cornwall and then into the English Channel, I'm not sure it will get as far north as London and the M4 corridor.

    Back in Ireland the band seems to be decaying over north Leinster. Plenty of precipitation from the Wicklow mountains down to Wexford which stops around Waterford.

    Another very intense looking area of precipitation in a narrow band from Cork, through Limerick and on to Galway. Could be some very decent snow inland under that.

    That narrow band is agonizingly close to me, need it to shift just slightly East

    Too little too late

    Fairly heavy rain in limerick city for the last couple of hours. That skinny band of rain has managed to kept us perfectly underneath it.
