    hmmm reckon the trajectory of the streamer north of Dublin has changed just enough to possibly bring the northside of the city in to the mix soon.

    Looks like one heading for the north side of Dublin and another decent looking one heading for the South side / north Wicklow. The one heading for South Dublin / north Wicklow seems to be picking up intensity quickly

    Trying to leave Hollyhead as quick a humanly possible. :D

    A pretty clear sky tonight here on Wexford/Wicklow border, think we're in the Anglesey shadow here if the streamers are coming in from NE. Tonight is gonna freeze big time here.

    I usually drop my son to the 4.40am bus to Dublin from Kilkenny. The Dublin Coach drivers seem prepared to drive in any conditions and snow doesn't faze them apparently. I'm just thinking that he'll get to Dublin easily enough in the morning but he has to get out to Rathgar and then back in again in the evening to catch the 6pm bus on the quays back to Kilkenny.

    Any forecasters willing to hazard a guess as to whether he should just stay put tomorrow in KK and take the day off in case he's stranded in Dublin tomorrow evening but then if he isn't he'll probably be losing Thursday and Friday and he doesn't want to be completely out of pocket?

    Decisions....decisions....

    Starting to get worried (Dublin City Centre) that this is not going to stick as it has not done so for the past few years. That teasing snow shower at 6pm was just that. The iPhone weather app is pushing out snow to 1am now in dublin. I want to believe it but seeing is believing.

    I find that weather app very unreliable for precipitation. I use it when regularly abroad in Germany, France and US and ive learnt not to rely on it.

    Current favoured locations for the streamer just moving in from north Dublin look like malahide, ballymun, blanchardstown, finglas, Lucan, celbridge, leixlip and immediate surrounds....I does reckon.

    Just to remind people Met Éireann's warning is for 4 to 6cm by tomorrow morning for those in orange warning area.

    And stealing from Gaoth
    Met Éireann aviation have warnings out now for 3-5 cm snow at Dublin and Casement from 2330Z tonight to 1200Z tomorrow.

    IMO 15cm anywhere by the morning is highly unlikely.

    We had a pretty significant snow shower here in Kinsale in the last hour. We were on our way to Cork and had to turn back because visibility was so poor and car was skidding. Lots of snow on ground now. Amazing that nothing has fallen in City.
    There was snow in the city.
