Much colder Tues onward ------>Frost/wintry showers (Risk of snow in East for a time)

Redsunset · 03-04-2012 12:28PM

Yes heavy downpours of hail/sleet with a good light show would be very welcome indeed. The highest hills and mountains can have the snow.

Yes Black, sea effect will have on influence and drive snowline up good bit higher.

Well at least it's something to monitor lads and lassies, as much as I enjoy warm settled weather, variety is the spice of life,so they say.:)

DOCARCH · 03-04-2012 12:32PM

Sleet now being reported at Aldergrove with temp of 3c DP 2c

patneve2 · 03-04-2012 12:45PM

Iancar29 · 03-04-2012 12:46PM

Redsunset · 03-04-2012 12:57PM

Hope you get to record some amazing stuff, whatever it may be. Tempted to go myself but probably just end up in the pub.:D

Harps · 03-04-2012 01:24PM

Freezing cold here, only 3.8C with the strong wind making it feel a lot colder. Heavy hail showers with a bit of sleet in the mix but no sign of any snow even on high ground, can't see the summit but Mt Errigal looks clear up to around 600m

blackius · 03-04-2012 01:25PM

Shower trains are setting up nicely in the Irish sea now making a v line for the Wicklow mtns (snow up there for sure)
Interestingly the trajectory looks like hitting all of Wicklow and north wexford so there's a good bit of high ground targeted.

The arc near the iom is setting up nicely for Dublin too so iancar get thee to kippure! In for a penny in for a pound

Couple of light hail showers here near arklow.
Hoping to head up near 2000ft asl near here after 7 if I can persuade some people here that a 2 mile walk will be worth it to feel that lovely crunch of snow under the feet.
god damn it we were deprived long enough

Lets do it!

secrecy_ie · 03-04-2012 01:31PM

The fact that my winter boots broke recently should have told me what was coming. I love snow, but I'm in work and couldn't wear runners so stuck in open toe high heels!

Still though, I'd manage - just to see some of the white stuff!

DOCARCH · 03-04-2012 01:33PM

Snow symbol now on my VP2.....it's official, it's coming!

6.1c DP 2.0c atm.

Interesting developments in the Irish Sea.

patneve2 · 03-04-2012 01:35PM

Some pretty intense stuff out in the Irish Sea

03-04-2012 01:35PM

as much as we'd all like to see what you film, Ian, for Gods sakes , mind yourself.

Think us Dublin dudes should be looking north of the menacing curl heading towards Wicklow.

Could be an interesting evening with a wintry mix for many

ch750536 · 03-04-2012 01:49PM

Hail just now.

patneve2 · 03-04-2012 01:50PM

a nice 40 degree shift in wind would be nice right now

Iancar29 · 03-04-2012 01:56PM

View just now from here in Stepaside... iphone shot.

The heavy showers/ppn as seen on radar now look like they will only give a glancing blow off the east coast but the stuff coming down from the north seems to be pepping up as it crosses the Irish Sea/Dundalk Bay.

5.7c DP 1.8c

Just had a shower of hail in Sligo now. No snow yet though

Redsunset · 03-04-2012 02:01PM

Be god Gerry went all out there,(For Him) Not one but 2 warning triangles over Wicklow hills and mountains for snow, with east feeling the brunt later, his words.

patneve2 · 03-04-2012 02:05PM

Latest raintoday: Nice activity

Aye but wind direction is key.
What we know now is the air is cold enough to produce irish sea streamers.
That wind will be north east this evening and well the irish sea will be producing even more activity by then

I've seen a few showers come barely ashore and I see cb activity.
All good signs if you're up on the eastern flank of the wicklow and dublin mtns this evening.

Iancar29 · 03-04-2012 02:11PM

First snow returns now showing up over the wicklow mountains now.... GAME ON!!!

* GOES UP and start timelapse *

ninebeanrows · 03-04-2012 02:16PM

Standby Wicklow, what temps do we have up there?

Expect impact in 1.5 hours.

eredmond · 03-04-2012 02:18PM

Just had a hail shower in Waterford City. Didn't last long.

Much colder Tues onward ------>Frost/wintry showers (Risk of snow in East for a time)
