    I really can't see the snow risk.. anywhere. I think Met Eireann have it wrong. BBC have nothing on their graphics - not even on the mountains.

    Snow risk chart for Saturday below... this is the highlight.

    The risk shown in the two models mentioned in the first post has reduced in their latest runs and the focus of the precipitation has shifted. As mentioned, it could go either way. It seems it will go the other way now...

    I love Sheeps Head... said my goodbye to it just before i moved here.. drove all the way to the cafe.. had there been anywhere to rent there would have stayed.

    Ah no these streams are a glory.. so far they fall and pure white the water against the bleak grey. ;) I stand and watch them ...

    Sounds like Inagh or Maam valley area... must be spectacular today!

    Steady moderate and at times heavy rain in Tralee , coming up past 20mm since midnight .

    Very heavy surface water, sides of the roads starting to flood. Water standing in fields.

    A wet morning in Tomb with rain getting heavier on gradual basis. Not much wind but what wind there is feels cold. Not pleasant when out on cig break. :o

    Near enough and yes it takes the breath away. Longing for the spring. I was teary eyed the day I left Sheep's Head. Been in that area ten years. Say hello for me.. ;)

    Same here in Connemara. The garden is rapidly becoming a pond. The streams are a white glory cascading from the heights. 400 ft asl

    I love the descriptive way you have of putting things Grace7 :) Really helps kick the imagination into gear.

    NW Clare. Continuous rain, roads and fields flooding, some streams already overflowing, rivers ready to burst banks. Rainfall radar showing little respite. Not looking good for the rest of the day and that is without Sat, Sun forecast

    So grateful for the beauty here. Galway and especially Connemara are so utterly lovely and the sheer size and space...

    Even in this weather! It is BAD out there!!!! Really is!

    The only place that i can see any amount of snow is on the tops of the mountains.
    Looks like a foot is going to fall in the next 24 hours on most of the high ones in the west.

    Connemara and west Galway in general is a beautiful area, but east of the Corrib, I dunno, I would call it more bland than beautiful. Hard to believe we live in the same county really.

    Any update from our experts? I'd love a bit of snow tomorrow instead of the relentless rain.

    Tomorrow looks touch and go, but still the small chance of some wet sleet or snow falling in any heavier bursts, There may be a very small window of opportunity late Saturday into early Sunday as a band of rain (and the forecast for this is very uncertain) pushes up against some pockets of colder air over the north midlands.

    This complex low is just too complex to be certain of anything beyond 12 hrs.

    What a really rotten day today. My fields are now completely waterlogged. Even if it snows, which I dont think will happen in Dublin by the sounds of it, it will be pointless on that soggy ground. Snow that doesnt stick serves no purpose!

    An utterly abysmal day here in Galway city, cold and it's been tipping it down since morning. It looks from the radar like the front has stalled over us, we've more than a few hours of rain ahead of us:(

    Just in time for the weekend too!

    just saw the forecast on RTE, looks like parts of the west and north-west could see continuous rain between now and Sunday evening with more showery outbreaks elsewhere.

    Yes and in my very occasional trips out, I am always glad to see the mountains again. Happy to stay in Connemara. A year ago I had no idea I would be here.. Trrible weather we get here though!;) I arrived mid January!

    Same here north of Kilkenny City, from a very wet start with 10.6mm of rain to a nice afternoon with Sun.

    At least the sunny south east is sunny :p

    Turning quite nasty here with continuous moderate rain and winds picking up a little. Puddles galore. Clouds taking on a more intense look over the last hour.
