Update to Met Eireann warning

"STATUS YELLOW

Snow-ice Warning for Ireland
Update
Cold overnight, with sub-zero temperatures and scattered wintry showers.
But a band of rain and sleet developing over Leinster and will fall as snow in places. Some snow will extend into parts of north and east Munster also. 2 or 3 cm of snow are likely, with larger amounts on high ground. But in eastern and southeastern coastal districts, with onshore breezes, the precipitation is likely to stay as rain or sleet.

Feck. Can anyone interpret this for North Kildare, we're supposed to have 700 odd students outside at around 1130am tomorrow :eek::eek:
If 2-3cm of snow fall will it be gone? I assume it'll be bloody cold

Danno

Mostly rain here in south Laois (89mASL), though a splatter or two of sleet when the heavier bursts get going. 1.5mm from the front so far which is flowing down the storm drains now. Peak rates of 3mm/hr. Currently 3.4c with a 2.2c DP.

Danno

Interestingly, a few stations out across west Tipp are reporting conditions suitable for snowfall: https://www.wunderground.com/personal-weather-station/dashboard?ID=IHRABSTW2
and

I had a reasonable fall of snow last night (S.Dub 260m). 7am child 1 up and out making snowman, 8am child 2 up and playing in 50%less snow. By 9am it was gone

At best it will be very cold, windy and wet. Sleet or wet snow is likely, possibly accumulating snow. Miserable guaranteed!

Danno

Interesting chart from the Euro4 --> shows mostly rain up until the small hours.

Danno

The 6am accumulated chart... the 9am is similar with just a little more.

Blizzard like conditions up at sally gap, just looking at the nw radar there.

Having a good bit of snow here, West co Waterford, 190 masl.

We only had little snow/sleety showers here and there yesterday. Tonight is pretty solid in comparison, but just as MT said, it is wet snow, sticking very well on the grass, but less so on the driveway.
Long shower though, still going good with real fluffy flakes

Best thing is I'm off work tomorrow so might just grant the kids a snowday if it's still there in the morning. I'd expect it'd be gone by lunchtime but hey...

edit : I'm at the foot of the Knockmealdowns.

Flatlined at 3.4c and 2.2cDP for almost an hour while the rain tipples down.

Moderate Sleet in Kildare now

Meteorite58

Be it rain, sleet or snow that is a big accumulation of precipitation in the next 24 hrs. Met Eireann saying flooding likely on parts of the East coast.
