Will we see anything in Dublin

I think Dublin might be fortunate and miss out on snow. Hopefully that is the case. however I'd expect the Dublin mountain will get some snowfall...

Another one to watch on Saturday. Subject to change, this would bring a good few hours of heavy snow across the country . Let's see how this pans out.

Snowing in Galway city at the moment, very surprising considering it just lashed rain for the last half an hour. Very sudden changeover.

Very lightly raining further inland in the country. Not a hint of snow.

What makes you think that DellyBelly?

CrowdedHouse

Dirty horrible wet snow N Tipp, can't make up its mind if it's rain or snow

Temp 1.8 Dew 0.8

Dublin will see snow at some stage during today and tomorrow. Showers will penetrate through no problem. Accumulation could be minimal, basically a now cast situation.

Yeah thats been on the cards from the models for a good week now. Always looked the best chance to me but the uppers were higher than you'd need (but the direction of flow and thickness really good). Uppers seem to be a bit lower now so I agree this looks a possibility.

We'll hopefully be sick of snow come Sunday (no chance, on several levels!)

Heavy snow can be seen on a Tiii traffic cam on the N52 Fivealley, Offaly. Complete coverage on the road. ASL is only about 60m so good sign for all.

Indeed

The snow level will continue to fall through the afternoon and evening. If you have not seen snow yet it won't be too much longer.

Snowing in Galway city again, quite heavy this time.

Gets lighter once I posted!

Darwin

Snowing fairly heavily in SW Laois, starting to settle. Will most likely melt quickly once this shower passes through.

Not a lot happening in Craughwell East Galway yet. We always seem to be out of the sweet spot.

bennyineire

Heavy just outside Tullamore at the moment and sticking

Early days yet!

I see from the Met Eireann web cams snow is beginning to settle in a few places. I thought we'd have to wait till evening and night time for that
to happen.

Think it will only be on higher grounds. I think low lying areas in Dublin should be lucky and miss out on any significant snowfall.

pauldry

Raining here still

lexi-lexi

Sun shining here and blue skies just outside Gorey co Wexford

No real change yet in dew points, still too high. Gurteen the only place showing what you need to see, has a temp of 0.2c and a DP of -0.4 as at 11am.

See below. If you go to this page on meteociel ( http://www.meteociel.fr/observations-meteo/point-de-rosee.php?region=uk ) you can drill into each station by clicking on it.

Based on what data?

gerrybhoy

Looks as though the sky is about to open up here in D17 and got very cold

Pangea

Snowing very heavy here in SW Donegal, never seen flakes as big!

JeffK88

Just started to snow here in Newbridge. Starting to get heavy

ninebeanrows

Looks like Dublin, Wicklow mountains about to get nice coating in next hour

The Curragh

Dew points beginning to drop. Shannon, Cork and Kerry airports all now with DPs of 0c. Temps in Shannon still 5c, Cork is still 3c. That 0c DP and 3c temp combo in Cork is still too high. Need them to sum to less than 1c I think (as well as many other factors). That said I note the next incoming shower to Cork on the netweather radar is a bit pinker than previous ones.

Getting there hopefully.....

Coming down real heavy here in Newbridge. Struggling to stick though

Latest satellite image. More showers to come, but nothing particularly organised in terms of minor troughing showing up as of yet. Maybe later perhaps.

Meteorite58

Caught in a huge blustery hail shower in Tralee, so heavy and squally the hail got into my boots!

yorlum11

Some beefy showers of hail/snow in Westport. It has the makings of a good day ahead for us all.

Ludo

Trying to snow in Bishopstown Cork City.

In clontarf and think it's going to rain 🙄

SleetAndSnow

Lightly snowing in cork city, well heavily but small flakes. Too wet to stick but it’s something!

Edit:Heavy snow!!

Edit 2: and back to sleety stuff.

craicdood

Lads I've followed the weather pages on boards for about 5 years(a huge thanks to all who keep us all informed), finally I'm gonna jump in. In the recent snow events over the past weeks the snow line has never made it as far as Dublin and seems to dissipate just over the Dublin mountains. As the front is coming in from the west, do we need this event to ramp up in a big way in order for the showers to start hitting the band inside the M50? I know its early days but looking at the charts this just doesn't seem to have the consistency to make it close to the east coast over the mountains.

If it snows heavy right now in Dublin we'd be in trouble, a really dry ground

Keep us updated JeffK88 - whatever about being snowed in I def dont fancy being snowed out!!!

Danno

A good hour plus of moderate snow across Laois between 11.15am and 12.45pm. Sticking on grass lightly and on cars etc... the hills between Stradbally and Portlaoise look like they have a good few cm accumulated. Skies are breaking now, so expect the sun to quickly thaw out what little bit there is. The concrete and tarmacadam surfaces are slushy - probably owing to the ground temperatures which were up between 3c and 4c at the 9am observations this morning.

Oscar Bravo

Knock 2 degrees now with the dew point now just gone below zero.

Super-Rush

Nice shower of snow in Kilkenny city.

Not sticking yet
