    I was joking. My garden is like a mire. Little appreciable drying of the sod where I am.

    Little bit of hail here, near Letterkenny, lasted all of a minute or so, back to rain again.

    Any precip will turn increasingly to snow in Letterkenny as the day goes on

    You may get a light dusting by the morning by the look of some of those streamers.

    It's disheartening how the showers dissipate as they move further inland, but it's par for the course unless we have a really unstable flow. I hope you see some snow down there later on in the week.

    Scattered wintry showers will give way to more widespread sleet or snow for a time overnight with the potential for small accumulations.

    Higher ground will probably see a dusting further south as this cold front moves south later Tuesday. Impossible to say how organised or intense any precip will be. 850s during that mild sector will be negated be somewhat depending on the time of day it passes over, evaporative cooling and favourable lapse rates. Dew points may just be good enough for the Midlands for example

    You would be looking to see if any troughs pop up on the northerly from Wednesday

    Yes, that's what I am hoping for on Wednesday, the thickness should be favourable for that then. I will be pleasantly surprised if any place lower down gets snow on Tuesday, well maybe at the back end of it

    Antrim, Derry, Tyrone and North Fermanagh area snow warning Wednesday/thursday.

    2-5 cm of snow is expected in many places. Where showers become more organised, there is a chance some low-lying areas could see 10 cm in a few hours.

    finally some sun today after the relentless cloud of the past week. Still waiting on the first frost of this cold spell if we get one at all.

    Have to say while I would love some snow for Dublin, have really liked the cold dry weather of the past week. If its not going to snow I will take dry weather any day, anything but mild muck rain and I am happy

    Aragh stop. You need to get up earlier if you are not seeing frost. You're the warmest in a cold spell and the coldest throughout the summer!

    What are they doing in the Hyacinth House?

    Try and squeeze a few showers down to Galway!

    Its the best weather for walking.

    We had 3 nights with no frost, actually some rain the last 2 nights.

    Milder here in Dublin today, and much brighter and less dank.

    More of this drying Arctic flow please, the best winter weather by far.

    Can't see the wintryness in the early part of the week affecting much more than the hills of Ulster above about 250m.

    Gorgeous day in Arklow

    Started the morning with a strong frost here,the 3rd or 4th of the new year I think

    I'd say it's frosty outside that BA plane above me heading to Portland USA

    Current snow cover chart from the latest ICON. Again, only indicative of where snow may fall. Snow is notoriously difficult to pinpoint, especially in an unstable airflow, like that of Wednesday (below) with those little kinks in the isobars suggesting disturbances.

    We will certainly see upgrades closer to the time imo

    Wednesday looks like it could be a fun event!

    Typically, I have an early flight to catch in Dublin Thurs morning. Was planning on travelling from Donegal through the night but might have to come up with a different plan if this comes to pass.

    No snow event for the capital, meh, lets get it over with, this cold breezy crap is worse than the usual.

    i'd rather a gale outside with pouring rain and a blazing stove inside than windy dull dry and cold like now.

    I got out for 9 today, place was in good nick, drying has helped lately. Cold off the first tee but soon warmed up. Probably 4 - 5 degrees but felt warmer when sun came out.

    Yes Cork today was very mild and dry. No real cold vs recent times.

    However RTE NEWS Weather just showed the snow line below the south coast so whole country above it. Any precipitation will fall as snow.

    I remember a couple of years we had a nice covering built up from the previous night,then along came the mild sector the next evening and several hours of heavy rain ensued to wash it all away. The snow came back the next day to give another dusting. What might have been but for that mild sector. It is really annoying in a cold spell that we have to deal with them.
