    Ive never seen Siobhan on the RTE forecast. Never watch it as I get the daily forecast from M.T. but dear god it,I thought she was near hysterical,if I was an elderly person I would be scared witless. Very strange way of presenting the forecast. That of course is my own opinion.
    There seems to be a competition to see who can outdo the other up there. Wish they would be in one of the older calmer forecasters would come on

    Hard to understand as light snow is being reported at Dublin Airport at 19.30.

    Prob live about 2km from the airport if I were to guess, I honestly am not trolling no reason to.

    The most insane forecast Ive ever seen, If correct this is our generations 1947/82 guys. I feel like its all a dream.

    This totally reminds me of the snows of '82. The longevity and thickness of it is all there.

    Enjoy all:D

    Here in Tubbercurry Co Sligo we got a light cover of snow yesterday afternoon/early evening. It mostly cleared away with not much cloud cover today. Very cold wind right now but conditions far better this then yesterday so far. Hopefully we will avoid the worst of it.

    The big picture. Must just be becuase the precip is so very light that it's varying between sleet/snow/frezing rain??

    Looking out my 2nd floor apartment window in coastal Dublin I can see in the lampposts what could be drizzle or snizzle driven by the wind. I’m in my slippers so not going out and my windows are north facing.

    However I can see the cars outside and a small new dusting of white is appearing on the east facing windscreens of the cars below. No obvious melt. Now the roads not accumulating but..,,

    So I say snizzle. If this were rain for an hour all snow would be gone

    For the excellent knowledgeable posters on here. Given the direction of the storm, will the Wicklow/Dublin mountains act as a shield for the Dublin 16/Rathfarnham area?
    I doubt it, Im pretty sure they'd factor that into the forecast when they predicated a metre of snow for south dublin, well I sure hope so. Had enough misery from the isle of man shadow !
    Yes, in fact I think they were predicting something like the opposite of a shield(?) - that the wind (with a Northerly component?) would be blowing the clouds over S Dublin, sort of unsucessfully up the hills, where they would rise a bit and deposit snow, fall a bit, rise again, and so on(?)

    *not a knowledeable poster* :o

    From my own point of view, my husband and I are off until Monday, the house is stocked and warm, the dogs are cosy and we've an emergency water supply so I'm quite happy for more snow (it has been snowing here in South Kilkenny for nearly 12 hours) and to just sit back and watch it all. Obviously I also empathise with those who don't have the luxury of enjoying this weather.

    Likewise, I stepped out in it & it was very fine snow for me a few minutes ago.
