Think most people tending to forget that as per the forecast it's later this evening and overnight when the east is expected to see snow showers

Irish Sea does look disappointing! Supposed to pep up later.

yeah been tracking some big blobs coming in from IoM but they're fizzling out before making ground. I feel cheated. I won't get to cycle home in the snow

Heavy shower in KIlkenny

My impression yesterday was that we would have more frequent showers from around lunchtime and on into evening. Clearly not happening so far...

jambofc · 27-02-2018 05:59PM

Heavy snow shower just gone threw in Kilkenny city

do you actually buy the echo?! anyway i presume colder air is digging in later this afternoon/evening which will help snowfall to actually settle.

We get it at home, delivered, so no I don’t buy it myself!

Extremely stupid question I'm sorry but right in what sense specifically?

Also does anyone expect trains out of Dublin to be cancelled? Commute from Midlands and do not want to be stranded at work next few days

It's only just started, but some people are thinking they can see the future with Thursday night's event

The problem is that rail services may be cancelled simply because of the "Red warning" status that Met Eireann may well issue for the rest of tomorrow. I'd expect most of the railways to manage with tomorrow's/Thursday's snow but if the snow on Friday reaches Dublin then I can see it causing big problems.

We're better prepared than in 2010 but Irish Rail may not be so much. You'll have to check on a day-by-day basis tbh.

Big heavy flakes in Drogheda now, has been light-ish all day.

madds · 27-02-2018 05:59PM

Has been sunny in North Kildare all day. Dark clouds now approaching from the east. Sun will disappear in ~5 minutes and then......?

Yes but the seed of those showers should already be developing off coast of UK. Currently no radar returns

yeah I have to admit I'm a bit dissapointed with it so far. I could be wrong but I reckon the showers hitting the coastline now are North Sea imports that have made it's way across.

Most reports suggest that things will become much more lively later on. I'm really hoping that things will be far more exciting after 10pm tonight.

Sorry if daft question, so does that mean we won't have an update now on warning level until 11am tomorrow?

Not necessarily. If they decide to change the status in anyway there will be an update.

They could upgrade (or downgrade) or change the area or the time of validity.

The Cork Snow shield is officially down. Snowing in the city centre.

Yep same where I am. Heavy shower too. Just the start of what may come.

BLIZZARD7 · 27-02-2018 06:01PM

Sky gone very dark to my east now, looks like a shower incoming.

Artane2002 · 27-02-2018 06:02PM

Snow picking up again D5.

I'm not liking the Irish sea activity, should have started earlier with the afternoon sun, nothing so far.

The convection of the snow streamers that are forecasted for this evening and tonight and tomorrow do no rely on solar activity, it helps, but the are due to a different type of convection

q85dw7osi4lebg · 27-02-2018 06:03PM

Sticking now in Drogheda.

Yeh I was expecting a couple more flurries today but its been said many times that there wasn't really any accumulations expected in dublin until late evening or nightfall

munsterlegend · 27-02-2018 06:04PM

The roads will be lethal if it freezes when the skies clear later.

rosser44 · 27-02-2018 06:04PM

Some heavy echos on the Dublin radar getting into north dublin/south louth at the mo, with a few others forming further out at sea

BLIZZARD7 · 27-02-2018 06:04PM

Light snow - D14.

Decent Snow falling now in Drogheda.

Drumpot · 27-02-2018 06:05PM

Bettystown getting pelted . . .

Rebelbrowser · 27-02-2018 06:05PM

I like the look of that heavy blob of precipitation over se wexford at the mo. Any reports from there? Looks like it is travelling in such a way that it will hog the southern coast and make landfall again around Cork City in about an hour.:):)

Edit:I see Joesgirls confirms my hypothesis....

Aye, the recent shower made the road and paths wet so if that freezes it would be havoc in the estates

Two minute grapple flurry there in Ringsend.
