    Where were you in the early hours of the morning? :-P Because I can tell you there was certainly a storm in Carlow town and I'm on the top floor of an apartment complex. The rain around 5.30am was unreal as well as the wind and a bit of lightening thrown into the mix. Seems Carlow castle sustained some damage as a result...

    Carlow Castle is falling down the last few years anyway. I'm up since 5,got up early to storm watch and Carlow was not bad at all. Big difference between a ****e winters day and a category orange warning. It just didn't live up to the hype yet again.

    How hard is to read the thread title? TECHNICAL DISCUSSION.

    There's a chat thread where most of the last few pages of posts would be at home.

    12Z analysis has that frontal trough over the country now dissipating, so weaker than forecast. However, Ciara's centre is 2 hPa lower than forecast.

    Satellite estimation of precipitation rate (mm/h) shows a fairly quiet period to come, but an area of more numerous showers further out west. Live link here.

    The storm wasn't too bad here in Meath in terms of wind. The rain has been the more serious issue with plenty of flooding around side roads of Dunshaughlin and Ratoath. Lots of water logging in the fields. Local Facebook group urging people to drive on main roads instead.

    Why are Met Eireann not mentioning the significant risk of snowfall tomorrow in the South? All models are showing it yet they continue with the old saying 'West and North'
    A bit more detail please Met Eireann you see the same charts as we do!!!

    Regarding snow over the next few days, here are some GFS forecasts for 5 stations around the country for the 24 hours from 18Z Monday to 18Z Tuesday.

    Still a marginal picture right at sea level, with snow just about melting in the lowest layers. Nearer to 100 metres, though (e.g. Ballyhaise) it may just be the right side of marginal during nighttime hours, and further higher again no problem day or night.

    Here comes the cold air mass and the wintry showers all the while staying in a very fresh W'ly airflow but looks like it wont turn wintry until later this evening/ early Monday.

    ECM not bad in predicting where snow might accumulate, not great on the depths but gives a bit of an idea.

    Feeling bitter cold in the wind giving a considerable windchill.

    Because the freezing level tomorrow in Ulster is 400-500m whilst it is 600-700m in Southern Ireland. So it is not productive for low level snow there.

    If you sign into Meteociel and look at the snow level charts you will see that the snow falling level there is about 400m whilst it’s 100m or lower in Ulster.

    The “system” coming up from the south is actually a warm front.
