    Your 'people don't know what a blizzard is' comment was so condescending. Yes all the people who live on flatland speak about 2010. But folk on high ground have seen a lot more wintry weather since and don't have to mention their once in a lifetime 1982 or 2010.

    This ^^^ :D

    So the UK Met Office seem to be showing a lot snow showers in nearly all parts of the country and into tomorrow morning, with many getting all the way to the east.

    What are people's opinions on this as if I were to go by the UK Met Office/BBC forecast, then I would expect to see snow on the ground first thing tomorrow morning in my home location on the Kildare/Meath border.

    Netweather radar currently shows a lot of snow showers in Ulster with some pretty heavy and prolonged snow in Monaghan and Cavan, moving SE towards Louth.

    Anyone in the north midlands able to confirm if it is indeed snowing there and if it is, is it sticking? Snow at this time of the day may bode very well for chances in other areas later tonight, assuming that the precipitation gets across the country pretty much unscathed, similar to the other night.

    You don't live and work on Lug so there's a big difference.

    Yes and your video reminded me of the fact that a lot of people were using the word Blizzard in recent days. If it was meant as reply to you I would have quoted your post, as well as climbing lug I have the ability to use boards correctly ;)

    Can we get back on-topic please? I've re-quoted myself from further up the thread. I fear my comments and questions will be lost with the blizzard arguments:

    Who are you anyway? Just drop the 'i' two 'll's in your name and call yourself 'Vain'.

    I have climbed Mount Kennedy in Canada. So you can take your Lug!!

    GFS High Res (4km) shows some heavier showers this evening but they are a very narrow band so really a now cast scenario.

    Mod Note:Interesting topic about blizzards, mountain micro climates and such but it is completely off topic.

    This thread has run its course since yesterday and now veering off-topic. There is another thread about the potential for sleet and snow showers over the next 48 hours here https://www.boards.ie/vbulletin/showthread.php?t=2057831489
