    Just watched the forecast on the Nine O'clock news. Looks like as the rain pushes across the country, there will be snow at the end for most of the country.

    It's been snowing pretty steady here for the last 3 hours, I've actually been surprised by the size of the snowflakes, they're massive. (About a mile away from Barnesmore Gap on the donegal town side)

    I'm still convinced it will snow on higher populated ground in the East including S Dublin later tonight, the potential has not gone away,but below 600ft,sticking is unlikely,too much saturated ground before the freeze

    But what I will say is it's a pathetic effort compared to a proper northern source routed via Scandinavia(ie a long track north easterly) ,you get better dew points that direction and none of that gulf stream spoilage

    At 850ft south dublin, have been outside the past hour or so. Poxy night but not too cold (or should I say not cold enough!)
    No hint of snow in the air just yet

    That's a separate shower though, it should be snow, it's away from the front in the cold air


    The front is what's giving most of the bottom two thirds of the country rain and is way further south than Finner or Sligo or Fermanagh (where snow has fallen already) and hasn't engaged enough cold air yet for snow below 400 metres or so
    It's this front we are watching as the beast with enough moisture to make a change to snow exciting
    The showers later while affecting all parts will be most active in the north and northwest
    Again those are going to be of most interest well inland and on high ground even up there accumulation wise I think

    probably looking at a snowline of about 1500ft still in S Dublin, it should halve soon though
    Can't think where you'd be in S Dublin at that height but at a guess,it's rural not sub urban and near enough to the straight line from three rock over to Kippure westwards? Or near but above the blue light
    If so I'll eat my hat if it's not snowing there overnight if the precipitation stays

    Still lashing rain here in the north east, to any potential snowflake thinking of falling later on, i say, dont waste your time, you will drown in the puddles

    Yes it's lashing rain all evening here around these parts (I'm near Kingscourt) - how disappointing, SO FAR ,,,,,,,!

    I wonder what the dew points are around these parts at the min?

    That is just a model indication of what it would be roughly , not actual readings.
