Be interesting to see if the Irish Sea suddenly comes alive later on. At the moment it's as dead as a dodo, no putting lipstick on it. Certainly disappointing, to put in perspective, all models have us under uppers now of at least -10. From a few weeks back if you saw today's actual synoptics in Future Island you'd say 'buried in snow' - yet there is not much bubblin'.

'Munster and Leinster expecting to get a lot of snow from Emma moving northwards gradually, blizzards are likely'! Blizzards she said!

The 15 mins we got in Dublin 12 was lovely. Impatiently waiting more more though...

Looks like it's starting to bubble now looking at the last few stills.

Actually a closer look at radar suggests a possibility now of a streamer off south isle of man, just a hint thus far

aodh_rua · 27-02-2018 08:00PM

First heavy snow has just started at the Curragh

It's just breathing in, don't worry it will come

Coming down nicely in the curragh

policy75 · 27-02-2018 08:02PM

Blizzards, she said blizzards!!!

This is like Christmas.

Just booked work off for the next two days to avoid any potential stress going in and out.

*waits for snow*

I think you picked the wrong two days, unless you were off on Friday anyway?

sryanbruen · 27-02-2018 08:02PM

Beautiful! It's like a picture you would put on a postcard.

Still nothing in Dun Laoghaire (eh, on the east coast!?)

stephenjmcd · 27-02-2018 08:04PM

Going by the met prediction on the forecast just now it looks like Dublin might kick off sometime after 12

HelloMrSnowman · 27-02-2018 08:05PM

Newbridge completely covered, only just stopped but easily a cm down already

awec · 27-02-2018 08:06PM

So can someone clarify that what we are seeing now (sporadic light snow with some areas completely unaffected) is not the extent of what Dublin is going to get?

Haven't been following closely.

beefburrito · 27-02-2018 08:07PM

Just drove through Ruan North of Ennis.
Plenty of foundation covering there,looks odd in the brighter evenings,compared to snow in the depths of winter.

It looks wrong, akin to Christmas decorations in the Summer....

I think it's a 'nowcast' situation this evening for Dublin and the east coast, could bubble up anywhere but does look very good after midnight too

pad199207 · 27-02-2018 08:07PM

2cm on the cars here in Naas now.

Squaredude · 27-02-2018 08:07PM

Just had a heavy snow shower in North Kerry

Kamili · 27-02-2018 08:07PM

Still not a whiff here in D16. Cold calm and clear

diarmuid79 · 27-02-2018 08:07PM

Nice snow shower just finished in Celbridge

q85dw7osi4lebg · 27-02-2018 08:08PM

Hands up if you think we should sink the Isle of Man

Yeah could very well be now cast. But yeah after midnight for sure and there was a big blue blob over Dublin around 3am

It has only started, activity will increase as the night goes on.

Me on Thursday night

My logic is that if Friday is bad, we'll have a red warning anyway so no need to go into work.

I like it, both your cunning and your optimism

I think we'll see more soon, the Irish sea seems to be waking up slowly...

Stephen Hawkins football boots · 27-02-2018 08:11PM

policy75 · 27-02-2018 08:12PM

midlands just starting to get its peppering now. and every snowflake is sticking to the ground with such cold temps. hugely surprised as two hours ago it was lovely sunshine
