    Irish Sea also looking very tasty for the next while, looks like a snow train heading straight for Cabinteely / Loughlinstown / Bray!

    8 miles outside Cork City, very heavy snow. Can’t imagine what it’s going to be like in the Morning.

    Why would anyone ever take the M9 to Cork from Kilkenny? It's nowhere near the most direct. Clonmel route isn't great either. Go to Urlingford via Freshford and take the M8. When the roads are clear it's just under 2 hours.

    I live in East Cork so it's much of a muchness which route I take. U'd be sick of the M8 anyway driving on it all the time to Dubin!

    I considered it but would the R693 not be a bit risky?

    I don't understand how I'm getting away so lightly (so far). I'm 15k north of Cork city and 200m above sea level. We'd get snow a couple of times a year when the city would be bone dry.

    You'll likely get some later on by the looks of the systems off the coast.

    Can you explain that to a weather rookie?

    Actually looking out it's started again

    Shows bands of precipitation (snow) forming over the Irish Sea and heading towards Dublin, deeper red/pink means more intense.

    huh!! met eireann saying dublin going to get plastered....

    He's only talking about Irish Sea showers, tomorrow afternoon onwards is a frontal event and won't be effected by the decrease in Irish Sea convective potential

    One of the guys on the tech thread says that's the last of the heavy stuff for the week. Hope he's wrong.
