Met Eireann:

Continuing cold and blustery for the rest of the day. Many areas will continue dry with sunny spells but there will be further scattered hail, sleet or snow showers. Highest temperatures only 3 to 6 degrees in a fresh northeasterly wind. Many areas will be dry at first tonight with clear spells but heavy snow and hail showers will affect the Northwest, North and East overnight with isolated snow showers over the rest of the country. Winds easing tonight and temperatures falling to between zero and -3 degrees with a widespread sharp to severe frost and icy patches. Wednesday will continue very cold with a mixture of sunny spells and heavy showers of hail or snow.

Just looking at the precip charts and we could wake to snow in the morning again, and then see some more tomorrow afternoon.

You'd be bringing your shovel to work every day so

Ah no in fairness to w.check he's just 15 and loves snow/extreme weather so he looks at the charts with a view to supporting the probability that an event will happen.In this case I agreed to a large extent with the trend that he wanted and still do.
Weather forecasting agencies on the other hand look at the charts without an event as a forethought and then calculate what they think is the likelyhood of x y or z happening and run with what they think is going to happen.
They can get it wrong too but not as often as people tend to think.
