    I was referring to Hotwhiskey's post at 23.42 last night. I see now that he said he was there at about 4 pm. At that time temp/Dp were +1.6/+0.6, meaning the wbt was around +1.3. Check the hourly reports from and you will see that snow was reported at wbt of below +0.5.

    WBT determines the lowest cooling around the surface of a melting snowflake, so if it is much above zero then the flake will melt for longer.

    It was about 4.10 to quarter past the hour FWVT when I arrived and it was snowing at that stage. Picking up my daughter from college and about another 200 students can verify. But it had stopped 20 mins later around 4.30. I dont know if the times i have giving are any help to you.

    Ok so maybe 15 mins after observation, in which time the shower would have had time to cool the air sufficiently below what was measured. As I said, the automatic sensors are pretty accurate and only in fog can they become confused. If they're not sure then it reports Unknown Precip.

    This is how the GFS is projecting the track of Monday's low. 850 temps not great but still could give produce some intensity induced snow. Snow would be more of a risk once the low pulls away. However, the track of this particular low is all up the air at the mo, but might be worth keeping an eye on for now.

    PS, Snow pretty continuous here now at varying degrees of intensity.

    We have a whiteout in Athlone. The flakes are so big and so thick and falling so fast. Even on the saturated ground, the snow is sticking hard out there!

    I've managed to get the time machine going,landed yesterday by accident a few times but we should all be in Thursday morning now if I pressed the right buttons?
    I am working on a snow machine,it's proving difficult and mis firing randomly in the Dundalk direction,but hoping to perfect it by Monday Tuesday, if that's ok?
    No promises :D

    Meanwhile snowing moderately here near Arklow at the moment,dinner plating it now I think is the word ? 2.8/-0.1
    The whole train affecting Ulster has and is drifting south

    One thing we have learned in the past 48 hrs is the models are far from telling the full story so what happens Monday is very very uncertain but hopeful?

    Big fluffy centimeter sized flakes falling in Slane. Been on and off all morning and is sticking well everywhere bar the roads. Whiteout too and i can see trees about 500 metres away.
    Kids gone to school a little disappointed.

    Those flakes are pushing 2cm now and go from falling straight to blowing from the northwest.
    The tableometer in the garden is showing about 2cm depth. Road outside is white with tyre marks showing the black road surface. Flake size is now gone small again. How does that happen? What process is at work there?

    Heavy enough rain where I am turned to sleet shortly after but pitiful. N/W/S/E to me reporting snow.

    Crazy, there must be a tiny pocket of warmer air over me to have this luck! Holding out for another hour or two but I'm not hopeful, too warm out there.
