Snow falling here now in Blessington very lightly though.

Oscar Bravo · 26-01-2014 04:30PM

Sleety showers in Castlebar. 4 degrees. Winds not as strong but very blustery in showers.

DOCARCH · 26-01-2014 04:34PM

Just had a light graupel shower. Oh how I miss graupel!

Lots of hail showers in Limerick

murdig · 26-01-2014 04:58PM

Absolutely miserable here in North Kerry. Heavy hail and Wind. Whats the chance we could get some snow??

leahyl · 26-01-2014 05:00PM

And it's snowing in Cork City...:D Snow shield has become complacent!

budweiser6 · 26-01-2014 05:01PM

Don't be greedy.. push some up Limerick way!! Enjoy!

snowstorm445 · 26-01-2014 05:02PM

Nice snow shower here for the past few minutes, although dew points are set to rise over the coming hours in the south, so make the most of it.

That GIF is freaky! :eek:

Seriously though, anything in low res GFS is only meant to give a rough idea of the weather in store, and even then its usually wrong! Even though those charts are very good for snow and cold over Ireland, expect them to change massively in subsequent runs and, dare I say it, expect a downgrade.

As they say over on Netweather, don't be lead up the garden path!

Belting down in Blessington, Co. Wicklow and looks to be sticking

Kippure · 26-01-2014 05:19PM

The panics over boys and girls. Some nice snow showers reaching the east coast.

nah twas only a light shower!

murdig · 26-01-2014 05:26PM

No snow in the Tralee area. Just a miserable sky and very windy. Any chance of seeing any??

Kippure · 26-01-2014 05:27PM

Todays 12z shuts down the Atlantic and shows more of a eastern influence. The Atlantic lows are not bombing in. There slowing and look to be either heading south or been rebuffed back west.

Look East.:D

adamstown1 · 26-01-2014 05:27PM

Few snow flakes in Lucan, Dublin....

Of course it's very unlikely. With something as marginal as that, a few miles north or south can make a huge difference. I wouldn't get my hopes up until I saw some consistency. Still, it's nice to see the possibilities.
It's not in the low res part of the model though, it's only 5 days out.

murdig · 26-01-2014 05:35PM

Heavy hail starting up in Tralee. Very snowy sky out there though!

snowstorm445 · 26-01-2014 05:35PM

Really heavy falls here now. First decent spell of snow all winter. A shame it isn't a bit colder.

doccy · 26-01-2014 05:37PM

showers in Greystones are becoming increasingly sleety
