Competition between Cork and Waterford. My money's on Cork as Waterford is in more of a position to gain from extreme events from easterlies. E.g. 78/79, 82, etc.

What would a louth man know about the south coast??

Jaysus, less than half a mile from you and not a drop here

jk86 · 09-01-2010 11:54pm

This thread really makes me feel really sorry for people in Waterford

Hope you all have snow up to your arses :pac:

Dirk Gently · 09-01-2010 11:54pm

sustained moderate to heavy snow here in finglas for over the past hour straight. was stopping and starting earlier in the evening.

Scubadevils · 09-01-2010 11:55pm

Clear sky overhead now here but I'd be pretty optimistic that there is more on the way in the next half hour...

Yes i think i prefer the Corkford - that way Cork is more dominant cos it comes first!:D

snaps · 09-01-2010 11:55pm

I think this is our sunday/Monday event?

flanzer · 09-01-2010 11:55pm

Think I might have to go to bed now knowing I've learnt a piece of new vital information

I was always told the Atlantic Ocean influences Ireland's weather. Oh no no no no no...The Irish Sea does *

:D

* I know the gulfstream still does

i think it will be for those of us futher west and north- well the precipitation was always going to be lighter in these regions, but going on that bbc forecast the snowfall tomorrow is going to be light everywhere bar high ground. so it definitely seems that yet again the unexpected very heavy snowfall tonight in the east will deliver more accumulations than tomorrows snow will. still for those in the east who don't want anymore lieing snow that'll be welcome news i guess

Are you sure nacho? Watched the forecast after the 10.10pm BBC1 news tonight and it seemed to indicate significant snow for the northeast in particular (Meath, Louth, Monaghan etc.) from Sunday evening going into Monday morning.

duffman13 · 09-01-2010 11:55pm

Absolutely bucketing down in clondalkin (d22) at least 4 inches now. 2 inches fresh stuff I'd say in the last hour and a bit

Ya i don't think it is the same one cos i think Snowstor said that the one on tv yer man mentioned lots of snow for ireland or something but he said nothing on the web one and it was the same guy but it still looked good

Yes, and we could have had a lot more here if it hadnt been blowing straight over most of the evening.

Stopped here in booterstown.

Great! The way I see it is that those who saw the lightning are looking at the snow and not looking at a screen!
Time to log off and get lamp post watching again!

LookingFor · 09-01-2010 11:58pm

We've got a box out the front...I think it's for gas, and it's attached to the side of our front wall.

The snow on top of it now is almost at a level with the top of the wall itself now!

Also: just heard a forecast on the radio. Met eireann have changed their tune a little vs the 9 forecast - say further snow in leinster overnight with accumulations of 5 cm or more in places.

Shoot! Missed it! What did they say nacho??! Specifics please - (ie. Corkford!):D

Snowaddict · 09-01-2010 11:58pm

Major upgrade on the Radio Forecast with 5CM at least possible overnight over most of Leinster, risk of snowfall spreading Westwards into Munster overnight. Blizzards and drifting tomorrow, 5CM - 10CM likely widely according to Joan Blackburn..

Risk of snowfall turning to sleet along coastal fringes of the East & South later tomorrow.

Apparently also further falls of sleet and snow during the week..

mwrf · 09-01-2010 11:59pm

The precip is still bubbling up over at holyhead on the 2330 met uk radar

When you say coastal fringes - where do you mean in Cork - like would that include the city - like it's pretty near the coast - i'm rubbish at Geography!:D

CianRyan · 10-01-2010 12:00am

Well there is a LOT of snow coming down in Tallaght, Luas almost didn't make it all the way.
