    Was that recently....as in the past few minutes? There is some light enough precip moving into the Mullingar area at the moment. Was expecting that to be rain but if it's snow, it may bode well for very heavy precip that will follow on behind in about 30/30 minutes

    Ah crap....the moderate to heavy band passing through the midlands now will most likely be all snow so. Maybe a lunchtime trip to Dublin mountains is in order for me :D

    still only 1C here, I can't see us getting much past 4C today.

    had a brief rain shower after the sleet/snow band cleared. However i'd expect that band across the midlands to fall here as rain or sleet, I think snow now would be confined to high ground at this stage.

    OK I'm going to make a guess that the weather in 3 weeks time, Wed 16th November, is going to be 6degrees and scattered showers. What is your forecast for that date? I'm giving you a great chance here as it's only 3 weeks away and you believe that it's possible to forecast months in advance. BTW I hope this post is 'respectful' enough for you:D


    Jesus, I was spot on!

    How come no wintry spell thread has been started? The charts are excellent at the moment!

    Showers becoming more organised into a general area of moderate to heavy rain in the south midlands now - Rain at low levels but sleet mixed in, especially during heavier bursts and more wintry the higher up one goes in altitude. With night time not far away and temperatures dropping off, I would expect the snow line to drop.....I'd say snow could be falling (but not sticking) down to about 150/200m.

    There is also another smaller area moving eastwards along the M4 corridor. This too appears to be increasing in both size and intensity.

    If either or both continue to strengthen or at least not weaken, then we may have a covering on the higher hills and mountains in the coming hours. Ice may be an issue in many areas tonight.

    The northwest has a big rash of standard Atlantic type showers as well, many looking heavy and I would imagine also wintry on high ground.

    maxed out at 4C today. Those showers over the midlands are certainly starting to shrink as they reach Meath and Kildare.

    Yes, the M4 showers certainly are anyway. I was hoping they were going to stay as organised as the area of precip further south. This is quite a regular occurrence - When winds are coming from the direction they are now, they have a tendency to begin dying off west of Kinnegad and die a death between Kinnegad and Enfield....I'm just a few KM SE of Enfield :mad:

    1.2C, stopped snowing, the top of the hills of western Kilkenny are white, and the hills close to me have a white tinge at about 1,000ft.

    The western half of the country should see many wintry showers overnight. The east should remain clear and frosty.
