Hopeful to get some tonight

Danno · 23-02-2005 12:39AM

There might be enough left on the shower over Meath by the time it gets to Mountmellick, according to the radar it is en route over the Bog of Allen.

23-02-2005 12:45AM

still at it out there but very lightly now
Cant see ballymoyle hill to the north east or the red lights on it which could mean theres another burst of this heading down here.

/I'm off anyways

Danno · 23-02-2005 12:48AM

Goodnight Earthman!

Enjoy the snow!

From snow-starved South Laois!

Wisteria · 23-02-2005 12:49AM

I really wish I was in earthmans place now....

Wisteria · 23-02-2005 12:50AM

Temp here now 0.9C

kleefarr · 23-02-2005 12:54AM

Kilkenny City outskirts (E)

Patchy cloud. No precipitation. very cold. feels like zero or less, but only just got up so may feel chillier than actually is.

Any reports from Carlow, Kildare, Dub, would be welcome as drive to Dub airport happens in 1.5 hours.

Danno · 23-02-2005 12:58AM

0.3c here at the moment.

Might best to go through Durrow kleefar, some intense echos over North Wicklow, which I feel will hit the N9/M9 around Castledermot, in 1 hour or so.

Wisteria · 23-02-2005 01:04AM

and its bloody freezing

Danno · 23-02-2005 01:14AM

Wisteria, if your temps are plummeting, then there is a clear spell coming over you, this is a good sign for an approaching shower.

Temperature is 0.3c here still. Another blanket of cloud overhead.

I won't be rushing, obviously. Have left 3- 3.5 hours to get to Dub airport.
Will bare that in mind though. Thanks.

Wisteria · 23-02-2005 01:23AM

No change in Temp Danno still -1.1C. Very cloudy overhead.

billy the squid · 23-02-2005 01:38AM

shannon radar must be borked.

Danno · 23-02-2005 01:39AM

Should be snow in Mountmellick, radar shows light to moderate precip there at 0127z

Danno · 23-02-2005 01:40AM

Shanon radar is always missing bits and pieces, must be a budget model!

Danno · 23-02-2005 02:06AM

Everyone gone to bed?

This is turning out to be a non-event tonight. Seems like pressure is too high, and the winds are too light to whip up showers, excluding the very SE counties.

just to note that roslare has reported a hail shower recently.
