    Heavy snow likely to fall in the north and northwest during through till early Evening.

    >10cm in places.

    Winds to veer Northeast this afternoon and towards nightfall.

    Heavy snow showers pushing onto the east coast from 6pm.

    Accumulations significant in places. (5-15cm)


    Snow risk continues overnight and through Wednesday in the east and north coast, while things dry up gradually in the west as winds veer ENE at first.

    Turning drier everywhere Friday/ Saturday with just scattered wintry showers. Some really deep frosts and lows perhaps below -10c.

    Staying bitterly cold past the weekend.

    Weathercheck, am I wrong in thinking the winds are Northeasterly at the moment ?

    It looks like that from the radar images

    we've had snow here overnight. haven't been out to look yet, but doesn't look like a huge amount. roads are dodgey enough in places, but gritting has been a lot better this time.

    If we get even some of the falls predicted by others later on today it could get nasty pretty quick. Bear in mind though I'm right out on the coast, and that may have had some bearing on things

    About 1cm has fallen in Sligo town in the past hour.

    There was even a bit at home, very little, before I left for work and OH says it was coming down there too after I left, which is the first since before Xmas.

    There was a very light dusting in Southwest Mayo last night, yesterday evening was the mildest night in two weeks due to the NW breeze off that (relatively) warm warm Atlantic. Heavy clouds are now visible in the far Northeast over the Newport area.

    Beautiful clear sky in Lucan at the moment.
    Temperature currently reads -2C.
    We had a small dusting of snow last night and it was enough to make the roads in the housing estates treacherous again.

    There is a small circulation around North Wales.

    NW winds to the south of it, NE winds above it.

    The wind change is a bit late for the showers in the Irish sea at the moment for most of the East unless you live in south wexford..in which case look east north east-theres a baby passing through in an hour or two.
    It may be too far out to see to only just graze wexford town/rosslare though.

    [quote=irish1967]Pangea, Isn't it absolutely beautiful !! And by the looks of the raintoday radar which has been spot on all morning there is loads more to come this morningsmile.gif[/quote]
    Sure is! Its lovely to look at , its good and thick here now, proper snow!! , i moved away some of the snow and under it is an inch or two of ice. Thats in places where there was no ice last night!

    Theres a good stretch of water in my field the last 3 weeks that has been frozen solid, and the ice is like 8 or 9 inches thick by now, This weather is incredible. My driveway also has been an ice rink since mid december :D

    Can anyone hazard a guess if it's likely to snow Navan/Dunshauglin area with these coming bands? Took me 3 hours to drive from Navan to Blanchardstown this morning and i'd like to determine if i should head home early today and what conditions are likely tomorrow? Cheer!

    Unlikely to see further snow in Dunshaughlin/Navan for most of today, maybe a chance of some snow showers later 2night and 2moro.

    Thanks for the update BB.

    Hopefully you will see a drop now fairly soon as the much colder 850mb Temperatures set in..

    Is that subtle shift in wind direction not going to affect the flow of that precip along the West? It was initailly forecast to hit north galway at best but latest satelitte runs has seen it take a more SSW run.

    Looking out over the Irish sea there is a huge anvil forming:) not sure it will make landfall here in Wicklow though the showers seem to be traveling along the coast some miles out to sea still :rolleyes:

    Looking at the Met E radar, it looks like the edge of that ppn will just hit the coastal fringe of Dublin? Definitely looks to be moving almost SW.

    -1.0c here DP -1.4c
