Can't see there being many showers in the Waterford area tonight. Showers headed our way from the Irish Sea dissipating as they hit the North Wexford Coast.

That's a problem with the radar coverage in the area. Frequent showers have been making inroads through Wexford all day despite what the radar has been showing. It was the same story with the last few spells.

I think the Mountains are blocking the coverage?

Yeah same here, the few grains falling are sticking now. Anything from now until tomorrow morning should settle. Come on Irish Sea!

The big shower supposed to hit South Dublin breaking up at the coastline. Typical.

Solid runs again today. However, today has proved that Easterlies are rather worthless to me but there's no sign of a proper N'Easterly any time soon sadly. Atlantic being held at bay too well also which is ruling out any frontal snow for now. Painful having such good synoptics and getting so little. Think it's time to move house.

Athy cant be that bad:D,dont give up hope just yet, wait and see what M.T has to say

Wicklow mountain's seem to be sucking the live out of the shower's

Back in Offaly, light snow shower just ended. Was in Dublin today, shower activity dies off after toll bridge M4, but a few light ones still getting down this far. I'd say there won't be anymore tonight down here.

patneve2 · 26-03-2013 08:31PM

light snow for a half hour now, we need things to beef up!

hollster2 · 26-03-2013 08:32PM

hope all the lamp watchers are ready well have a long one tonight!!!!

Bejubby · 26-03-2013 08:33PM

Anybody notice the blocking feature on me radar at south wicklow and all of wexford.

Possible error on the radar?
Been like that all day even though there was showers about.

Ah being West of the Wicklow Moutains is a killer. Very little made it over today, and with what did, it was lasting around 10 seconds. Easterlies/South Easterlies for the reliable future, so I'm just out of luck this time round.

Very little falling, but what is is sticking. Quick turn around with nightfall and a slight drop in temperature.

thomasj · 26-03-2013 08:51PM

Rain today is forecasting some heavy bursts for Dublin 15 for the coming hours so fingers crossed!

mumo3 · 26-03-2013 09:06PM

Dublin 22 must have a snow shield up :eek: nothing happening here atm

You Dubs enjoy the weather. The skies have cleared here in the south and after seeing what has happened over the past few weeks I'm convinced that's it for the night.

200motels · 26-03-2013 09:17PM

Not a whole lot going on down here.

Just back from naas towards athy, snow in naas, snow in kilcullen then bang, no snow! Only thing lugnaquilla will look serious tomorrow! It's like a,snow trap.

Livin in the lug shadow!
