In his house :P

Well then I'd tell him to go outside his house :rolleyes:

Complete car/roofs covering here with grass at about 50%-- All from a 20 minute mini blizzard. Still huge flakes but lightish. 0.7C here in D14.

Here we go

I could see my driveway and the road out side just ten minutes ago, now its just a blanket of fluffy white. If it stays like this we will have plenty on the ground by morning.

This looks interesting http://www.met.ie/latest/rainfall_radar.asp

A cat just came to my kitchen door. Both freezing and snowing out there so might heat up a dish of milk for the poor thing.

Where you live
I could do with warm glass of milk

Do couldn't see an animal out in this kind of weather. A Labrador arrived collar less at my house a few weeks ago when it was chilli and we fed him and showed him the warmer dog house.

Can confirm no snow in the lower parts of Tipperary but by 11pm my windscreen was frozen over.

Wind chill is unbelievable, back on with the vest I think..

The latest radar suggests a shallow low is about to hit Dublin!!!

There is a slight circulation happening within the precip heading past Anglesey and there are signs that the showers are banding!!

On both Met.ie and Raintoday radars!!

What does that mean ?

is this more snow?

http://www.met.ie/latest/rainfall_radar.asp

It certainly is. Widespread snow from about half an hour from now. For 60 to 90 minutes. Many parts from Drogheda to Greystones, reaching further inland than usual. It might only give a cm or two, but that's better than many of us have seen yet!

Met office radar shows it somewhat better. And http://www.yr.no/satellitt/europa_animasjon.html shows the wispy higher level cloud off the coast of holland at 10am, bubbling up and swirling around the North Sea before being swept westwards at about 9pm. This is the source of the current instability. There's a chance there may be a second band of organised precipitation a bit after dawn too. Not too sure yet.

This upper atmosphere low pressure system is aiding matters. Any convection in the vicinity of this upper LP is more likely to take on a rotational nature because of what's going on up higher in the atmosphere. Any organisation will also help development of further convection within these mesoscale features.

Here is upper LP system: http://expert-images.weatheronline.co.uk/daten/proficharts/en/nae/2013/03/26/basis18/ukuk/uv50/13032703_2618.gif

About 20 minutes ago there was heavy snow in D16 with not a gap in all the clouds, now there's nothing! Are the clouds moving North?

No, clouds are moving west-ish, you're in a gap now (I had it a while ago) dont worry it'll be back soon

Belting snow, roofs, cars & street all white

Well Sandymount is nearly white now & you're a lot further above sea level so I'd be saying your chances are good for a bit of cover
