South enough for Portmarnock?

Looks like it.

I think atm in Cork City we are dependent on showers moving across waterford then down to us, while we pray that they keep their strength.

I don't know where here is
I don't think its game over for lots of the country
We still have a possible 3-4 days of snow showers be it from Emma or Irish Sea streamers

As noted on the previous posts of mine D16.

Reading the Technical Thread it's starting to sound like rain if the low stays near the west if Kerry.

You are almost guaranteed snow in the next few hours.

I can see that 2nd long stream covering Dublin with the direction it is going

Up in the foothills around Stepaside I would imagine. Barely a flake here in Cabinteely.

Nope, in Cabinteely

So far I’m seeing nothing but minor skiffs in any of the pics posted. Up here in the North we’ve had nearly 10 individual events this winter with similar amounts from the NW’ly outbreaks (and four of them had snow depths of 2” to 6”).

It will be disappointing if this airmass doesn’t deliver something substantially better than that. Fingers crossed for everyone that things ramp up significantly overnight or tomorrow. Surely it must beat the northerlies we’ve seen this year!

I must admit to being a skeptic of easterlies for Ireland. Mainly a biased view due to being in eastern NI where they usually result in dry, crisp, and cold spells.

I do have a white garden out the back at the moment but it’s from snow grains! Hoping for a wind shift more to the SE to increase the sea fetch.

Snow aside, the feel of the weather is just fab right now! Crisp air, cold nostrils when breathing, deep blue sky today, glorious sunset with some towering cumulus floating, and Venus shining low in the west at sunset!

You could see that a lot of the snow falling out of any clouds here this afternoon was re-evaporating on the way down. You could see precip shafts falling hundreds of feet below the cloud bases and just disappearing! Dew point was down to -8c around 6pm at Belfast City Airport

Good luck guys and fingers crossed that something more substantial kicks off!

Pouring down now in waterford city and sticking

Great, now that needs to move west

Lovely Lovely spitting snow. Wind is swirling it around. Doesn't matter how little,its snow in West Cork. Hurrah. Very exciting.

Interestingly I saw Belfast had a relatively humidity of 48% this afternoon at one stage. That’s pretty low for these shores! The sky was a deep continental blue at the time too!
