Snow watch until Sunday 24th (N,W,SW most at risk)

JCX BXC · 23-01-2021 07:11PM

Down to 0.9°c in West Clare now and snow has stopped. It has actually left a light covering in grass, on cars and roofs.

Hopefully further showers will arrive and maintain such a low temperature. Could see some lying snow by morning looking at the precipitation charts, however being so close to see it's a battle of fractions of degrees.

FWIW latest EC has south Ulster as the sweet spot with around 8cm of snow lying by tomorrow lunchtime

typhoony · 23-01-2021 07:12PM

I've heard it's snowing out in Clifden which is very rare also

Is there any hope of snow in Waterford ??

munsterlegend · 23-01-2021 07:16PM

This front seems to be dying a death near mallow anyway. Says precipitation overhead but nothing falling.

Can you post a pic of that chart please. I can't find it thanks.

typhoony · 23-01-2021 07:19PM

definitely nowcasting from here on in, keep an eye on the radar for signs of a circulation, if it does occur then where it pivots could see a good few hours of snow, probably better to be on the northern flank than southern

jArgHA · 23-01-2021 07:21PM

Miserable plain ould rain falling now in south side of Cork city.. Damn you snow shield!

ninebeanrows · 23-01-2021 07:21PM

A good measure for coastal Dublin snow risk is the Howth Weather Station.

Conditions marginal but just right for snow at the moment from experience

Wouldn't give up yet, but yup, thats cold rain alright, everyone's favourite.

Just in terms of Aunty Snow viz Cork airports temp, notwithstanding its altitude it never seems to be colder than other stations in the city I know of. I'm at 80m about 5km from it and I also find its a similar temp here.

ninebeanrows · 23-01-2021 07:29PM

A little early to speculate but possible for a little circulation to the system between Gort and Ennis on last few radar frames

Donegal Ken · 23-01-2021 07:30PM

Yellow - Snow and Ice Warning for Armagh, Down, Fermanagh, Tyrone
UK Met Office Weather Warning (www.metoffice.gov.uk)

An area of sleet and snow will move eastwards across the south of Northern Ireland overnight into Sunday morning, clearing from the west later around sunrise but lingering over the southeast. Some small accumulations of snow are likely with 1-3 cm in places though the southeast may see slightly larger amounts with 5 cm possible, particularly around the Mourne mountains. With wet snow falling and low temperatures icy stretches are also expected to form.

Valid: 00:00 Sunday 24/01/2021 to 15:00 Sunday 24/01/2021

nice snow in galway

Larbre34 · 23-01-2021 07:34PM

Any snow around Thomond Park, or just sea level rain?

SleetAndSnow · 23-01-2021 07:34PM

Have reports from a friend that it’s snowing in Lisdoonvarna in Clare

Raining here in Cork

Just tuned in. Looks like heavy rain to me at a glance.

EDIT: Actually could be sleet. Yeah pitch level cameras a lot flakier than where the lads were standing.
EDIT 2: Gone to snow now.

TheSegal · 23-01-2021 07:34PM

Thick snow sticking in Galway just outside of Oranmore! So exciting!

Rebelbrowser · 23-01-2021 07:35PM

Temps did go up here with the arrival of the front. Cork Airport up to 3c so unsurprisingly it is all rain so far. Think the longer land track to the east will work out well for Leinster. The arrival of the front in early evening rather than overnight didn't help our cause down here...

Not expecting much here by the coast, inland areas of Dublin - Tallaght etc should do well as usual if we get much precip, hopefully we all wake to a winter wonderland though

Wahoo...I'm up the high end of tallaght. Yay!
