Formed because the upper layers (higher than 850 hPa) have warmed since yesterday, limiting convection to a fairly shallow layer. Warnings of heavy snow out now for the two Dublin airports and Cork. Don't remember seeing these before. EIDW AD WRNG 03 VALID 011800/020600 SNOW HVY > 10CM FCST = EIME AD WRNG 04 VALID 011800/020600 SNOW HVY > 10CM FCST = EICK AD WRNG 03 VALID 011700/020600 SNOW HVY > 10CM FCST = Shannon has a warning for 3-5 cm.

All businesses closed today at 1pm, which was odd considering the almost perfect, and quite normal winter weather we are having. Farmers and Urban customers of ours scratching their heads bewilderment at the National Red warning all day. It is almost like the East coast is on an entirely different planet. Work closed today purely for insurance reasons. Basically if anyone had an accident during the Red Warning, either travelling to work or in work, you can guarantee the insurance firms would not cover you. Just in from a walk with the dog. A bit windy, but no snow. In fact, the temps have risen a bit. Looking at the charts, It is doubtful we are going to get anything tonight or tomorrow. As some folks here are saying, due to the overkill on the warnings, they have a danger of not being heeded going forward.

Cobh in Cork and Walkinstown in Dublin are two examples? Dark Sky earlier was saying rain would fall. I asked about that on these forums and it was thought that it would be snow, not rain. The snow is very fine. Maybe people think they are seeing rain?
