    Yes heavy downpours of hail/sleet with a good light show would be very welcome indeed. The highest hills and mountains can have the snow.

    Yes Black, sea effect will have on influence and drive snowline up good bit higher.

    Well at least it's something to monitor lads and lassies, as much as I enjoy warm settled weather, variety is the spice of life,so they say.:)

    Freezing cold here, only 3.8C with the strong wind making it feel a lot colder. Heavy hail showers with a bit of sleet in the mix but no sign of any snow even on high ground, can't see the summit but Mt Errigal looks clear up to around 600m

    Shower trains are setting up nicely in the Irish sea now making a v line for the Wicklow mtns (snow up there for sure)
    Interestingly the trajectory looks like hitting all of Wicklow and north wexford so there's a good bit of high ground targeted.

    The arc near the iom is setting up nicely for Dublin too so iancar get thee to kippure! In for a penny in for a pound :D

    Couple of light hail showers here near arklow.
    Hoping to head up near 2000ft asl near here after 7 if I can persuade some people here that a 2 mile walk will be worth it to feel that lovely crunch of snow under the feet.
    god damn it we were deprived long enough :D

    Lets do it!

    The fact that my winter boots broke recently should have told me what was coming. I love snow, but I'm in work and couldn't wear runners so stuck in open toe high heels!

    Still though, I'd manage - just to see some of the white stuff!

    Think us Dublin dudes should be looking north of the menacing curl heading towards Wicklow.

    Could be an interesting evening with a wintry mix for many :)

    The heavy showers/ppn as seen on radar now look like they will only give a glancing blow off the east coast but the stuff coming down from the north seems to be pepping up as it crosses the Irish Sea/Dundalk Bay.

    5.7c DP 1.8c

    Aye but wind direction is key.
    What we know now is the air is cold enough to produce irish sea streamers.
    That wind will be north east this evening and well the irish sea will be producing even more activity by then :)
    I've seen a few showers come barely ashore and I see cb activity.
    All good signs if you're up on the eastern flank of the wicklow and dublin mtns this evening.
