    Jean Byrne mentioned just now that there is a risk Tuesdays front could turn to sleet and snow as it moves inland

    !

    She also mentioned to stay tuned to tonight's warning. An upgrade later perhaps?

    Orange warning on the way for snow perhaps. Seems to be getting colder faster then forecast.

    Criteria: 'Significant falls of snow likely to cause accumulations of 3 cm or greater below 250m AMSL'

    Currently 10 degrees at Dublin Airport and dewpoint 8. With such a mild day today, soaked ground and strong winds it'll be more wet sloppiness at low levels in the morning. Some wet snow falling in places but quickly turning to a slushy mess. If only these northwesterlies had been northeasterlies...

    Light drizzle at the moment

    But look to our west. Hovering at or above zero. No way we can get anything decent from that airmass. Relying on cold downbursts is nothing that I get excited about. Ok to watch some fat flakes falling, but if it doesn't accumulate into anything that lasts more than 30 minutes then I don't want to know.

    Unfortunately your right GL. However higher elevations going to get a decent carpet. Mr Mountainy Man going to have lots of fun!

    After dark tomorrow and Monday night look the best chance for the East Coast. I'd be surprised if we saw anything settling before then.

    Everything on the ground needs to evaporate or freeze, because there simply won't be the intensity of precipitation this far over to cause accumulations otherwise.

    The coldest uppers will have passed east by then. Increasing heights and temperatures will cut down showery activity. Tomorrow morning 0600-1200 is the best window.

    Looks good for the NW. More than a slushy mess for inland areas there. I know it'll be crap for Dublin but there's more to the country.

    Mid-Monghan - I was in the car an hour ago and it was reading 4 degrees after a couple of hours of torrential rain. It is now snowing.

    Strong wind gusts started in last 10 minutes Dublin 7.

    Net Zero means we are paying for the destruction of our economy and society in pursuit of an unachievable and pointless policy.

    So it'll be a slushy mess countrywide in your opinion?

    Yes. We won't see any dry snow anywhere except for on mountains. Brief accumulations at low levels but the usual wet slop after 30 minutes. If you like that sort of thing then great. Not me.

    I seem to recall you being similarly negative earlier in the season several times and low levels had snow lying for day. Also with the slider too you said there would be nothing an hour before, people reported snow, then you told them they lived on high ground, they said no, then you said it's wet snow not proper snow lol. I guess will find out tomorrow and if it is a proper snow day you'll find some petty fault with it as usual.

    In fairness I got a good 4 hours out of my snowfall on Friday morning before it melted ;) The kids throwing snowballs at the school enjoyed it anyway

    Nothing wrong with liking all types of wintry weather, just seeing snow falling is great, the only type I don't like is the frozen slush, but usually that melts fairly quickly

    I don't remember telling anyone where they lived or anyone at low levels (<100 metres) reporting snow lying for days. I did say wet snow because that's what it was.

    You can call me petty if you want, it really doesn't bother me. If 1 cm of wet snow does it for you then great.

    Check through your posts you'll find it. And places in the NW and North below 100m had lying snow for days. I should know I'm one of them. And it was more than 1cm of wet snow. It was so dry it lay for days :p Personally I'd say arrogant and can't admit when there wrong more so than petty.

    moderate snow here in the Banbridge, Co. Down area, covering cars and roads,
    strange that Netweather is still giving blue colour in this area?

    Understand your point and in essence would agree.
    BUT beggars can't be choosers and in our climate even falling snow is a rarity. To be honest even if we do get an easterly I think it's too late in the season for anything disruptive
