yes its all dublin at the moment, which has made me loose interest in this weather forum now. Dont worry all the Dubs will be long gone when the snow has vanished and it will be back to normal again.

Some ominous looking clouds starting to push in from the sea here in Sligo town.
We'll probably just get rain and sleet near the coast. Roads will be lethal tomorrow.

If you look at the raintoday radar you can see that battle coming in. Look at the far north of scotland, the percip are moving NE, to the south of scotland and England its moving SW.

Probably just rain and sleet for the snow deprived West while the midlands and east will get snow and lots of it. The members from the east has taken over te forum alright, but thats to be expected i suppose. I found it funny that some posters had :mad: faces just because a snow shower had just missed them, even though there is 4 inches on snow on the ground outside:rolleyes:.

Not a flake has fallen here in Sligo since last Saturday evening. Clear skies every day since and finally the clouds are arriving now. Hope to see some snow this evening. We have a lot of catching up to do.

The bad news is that seems the air will be from a SW direction and not a NW like first thought. The top of Scotland is now experencing SW and WSW air flow.

Ya can see the line of dark cloud slowly starting to move in from the northwest. About -1 here now but the sun should soon be gone and the temps will hopefully drop quite a bit before the band hits us which should help the chances of it being mainly snow.

This is the Map of the NRA's weather stations. The wind directions seem to be all over the place in the west. Some Northwesterly, some Southerly. The temps are dropping but the Dew points are very low in some parts in the west. Click on the green dots to the various weather stations.

I for one am not ruling out snow forecasted for the west coast. DP and temps will be at a knife edge, but I think it'll favour more snowy conditions.

The south-west is another story altogether though
