    whats going on up in the north, is that all snow?

    Just heavy gusts here in Belfast but dry - interested to know if anything is coming our way.

    Checked net weather but nobody is posting which makes me think there's not too much going on.

    if precip was coming from the east ye would normally get plastered in snow..
    this time its comin from the west , and showers usually tend to break up around the midlands , a few might make it further east.

    noone knows for sure if its goin to make it there , jus keep an eye on http://www.raintoday.co.uk/ an watch the showers crossing from west to east direction !!!

    Thanks for that! Makes more sense now. Will keep a close eye on it.
    Fecking sunny south east.:rolleyes:

    The main event has already passed, the east coast was never forecast for anything too severe

    Still no change here, horizontal driving rain and strong gusts

    Boards weather is very boring since last year :( all we have is treads on stupid wind the last week,where's all our snow treads gone lol

    I dunno if its all that boring somehow.

    As I look now, there are 359 people looking at the weather section :eek:

    The weather has been like a roller coaster and we're all here for the ride. Its great fun getting all anxious and anticipating what may come. Mainly hopes are dashed but ocassionaly a dream may come true....

    Unfortunately probably showers of rain or hail. As long as it doesn't freeze as roads will be lethal.

    Drove from Cork to Kerry an hour ago and the snow was just about settling on the top of the "County Bounds" and a temp of 1.5, was milder by a few degrees by Killarney and nothing on the ground even a km from the top, gritters were out too so think its marginal for most bar higher elevations unless!

    It's been dry a while here in Co Waterford (West-ish), and 190masl, there is a very stiff frost on the cars already, a bit worrying for the drive down the hill tomorrow as the roads are of course still very wet. A little layer of snow on top would actually go down well with me, there's a bit more grip to it than glassy ice.

    We get nice little gusts and horizontal rain sometimes here, and I get my bit of snow because I'm higher up, but the North West posters have me longing for the wildness out there.
    Ah well, here's hoping for a good summer in the sunny South East, so we can get youse Donegal people back with our tropical heat and sun :P.

    When is this going to end? Rain is about an inch from coming in the back door at the moment, still pouring down and there's a seemingly endless stream of rain on the radar. Lucky I sorted out the drains last week or I'd be underwater but after 12 hours the water is rising quickly now

    According to tonight's NAE there's another 30mm to fall yet in places in the north west, surprised at the lack of warning over the rain

    There was thunder here about an hour ago. Now it's snowing. Could I not have had both at the same time? :( Its too wet for the snow to stick anyway, rained buckets here for a while! Still a bit of wind too.

    Looks to me like the Wednesday p.m. system will be another witches' brew of phase change precip but as Harps says, some heavy rainfalls in low elevations, and I'll add some nasty hail sleet and snow in some higher parts, with the background theme of a slowly rising rain-snow line until 1500h or so when the short wave crosses the coastline, then back to more of a wintry theme as freezing levels come back down.

    This system is energetic although not really a large-scale storm event, and will produce wind gusts of 50-60 mph in some parts of the southwest as it approaches (from a SSW direction veering WSW-WNW later). It won't likely get very windy in the north, once the current moderate winds die down further late tonight they should stay at those levels through the day.

    As the system approaches it is energizing the atmosphere ahead and creating meso-scale systems that could each do a bit of nasty work here or there on the way through Kerry, Cork and Limerick. Mostly radar-watching sort of forecasting on this, but don't be surprised if there are some thundery hail showers at odd hours of the night.

    well I have to say I was completely surprised when opening the curtains at 9am this morning to find blizzard like thick (albeit wet) snow pelting down in West Dublin (D15). The cars, grass and walls were starting to turn white (yes walls as the snow was horizontal with the gusts!) It didn't last too long but I managed to turn into a snowman on my walk down to Clonsilla train station as my wool jacket seemed to absorb and not the heavy flakes!!

    Still plenty of patches of snow on ground from earlier this morning in Meath. I left before it got bad but apparently the whole place was white for a while.

    Has been raining here now for I would say about 16 hours now. Roads are flooded everywhere!

    Main road into Derry from Coleraine direction is now in passable and has been closed by the police in both directions (dual carrageway).

    As I'm typing this it is still absolutly raining/snowing and there doesn't seem to be any end in site!

    On the upside I moved out house tonight, got soaked but worth it :P

    Going to try and get some video footage tomorrow if I'm unable to make it into work because of flooded roads.

    Haven't been on any the computer much tonight and haven't got a chance to read any of the threads, so can someone give me a quick summary of the next few days possible weather?

    Where you are, in general, a series of weak troughs and fronts in an upper flow becoming mainly NW to N, some light snowfalls in the mixed precip likely, meanwhile the Thursday night storm could come as far north as Wales or as far south as central France, so any credible solution has it well to the south of Ireland but there's the outside chance of that changing rapidly.

    Have a clear up to do in garden tomorrow - Even my xmas tree has been blown over with lights destroyed :(:D. Winds kicked off strongest at around 2pm just easing down now.

    Me old man got back from Ballymena from work said just a blustery day, once he got down to east coast couldn't believe the strength of winds.

    Same story here all day, a good 16 hours of heavy rain but I just looked out and its like a blizzard! Bit of a shock!

    There's a good 2 inches of water on the ground everywhere so not much hope of getting a good covering but seems to be lying in places

    What a crazy 24 hours of weather :D

    No sooner had it started than it cleared up! No rain for the first time since around 11am

    NAE giving potential for more snow later but time for bed I think

    A lot more sleet/wet snow on its way to Kerry, Cork, southern and western parts of Limerick, and possibly west Waterford.

    Drove to work in the snow there with Christmas FM blaring....nice. Sticking to footpaths in places but generally melting. My estate had a thin layer of white everywhere when I left though.

    Sounds like lots more wet snow for the day looking at forecasts.

    Well done Cork!

    I lived in the Cork City for a couple of years and never saw a flake of the stuff.

    Once it stops, dig it up, put it in buckets and freeze it for next year. :)

    Check out Ballyvourney cam in west Cork. It's snowing there. Lying snow also visible in Mitchelstown cam.

    One good thing about this morning's snow in Cork, Cork people might now stop asking 'When are we going to get snow like?"

    Where I live it snowed on Christmas day 2004 and next snowed on 10 January 2010! We've done ok the last two years though.
