Really? I'm about 4 miles up the N11 and nothing here yet, soooooo bloody close :P

When i say light i mean barely able to see it!

Gonzo · 27-11-2010 3:45am

a few loud rumbles here now even tho it's totally clear overhead, can see the sky deep orange to the south over Dublin so plenty of clouds there.

The very cold air over warm sea is creating instability not uncommon in the Irish Sea however temperatures are unusally cold - and is it is aimed at our coast.

BTW for North Dub - it's coming in the next half hour to an hour. Showers developing behind have a direct line to me and Weathercheck.

I see nothing for North or West Dublin, unless there's a significant wind change/or Met Eireann radar not working

cbs could be heading straight for us - serious convection out there.

Im looking at one cell developing at the very top of this band, trajectory slightly more W of south than the current line.

Meanwhile intermittent flashes and one now extremely close by, light up the sky.

Very dramatic.

Trogdor · 27-11-2010 3:46am

Lightning seems to be getting a lot more frequent just North of here

123balltv · 27-11-2010 3:47am

in the sitting room and my front door just shook/rattled :eek:
Ah here it comes again .... hate thunder there better be some decent amount of snow after this

Artfu1Dodger · 27-11-2010 3:47am

Nice CB heading towards dublin. I hope.:p

Trevor451 · 27-11-2010 3:47am

Still no snow here in south east Dublin

darkman2 · 27-11-2010 3:48am

Yes, very dramatic. It was to be expected but still spectacular when seen like I can see it now. Thundersnow or graupel - that's the question. Usually thunder = hail in these situations but we shall see.

Yi Harr · 27-11-2010 3:48am

Continuous thunder and lightening here in Newcastle Co. Wicklow, snow has eased off a bit, roughly 1-2cm of snow settled on the cars here

murrayp4 · 27-11-2010 3:48am

Plenty of lightning in D8

errlloyd · 27-11-2010 3:49am

Interesting mix of fast falling hail and drifting snow falling in Dublin 18 right now. Lots lightening, but too much cloud cover to see it properly.

It's such a toss up, I want to see the lightening, but the cloud cover is providing the snow...

darkman2 · 27-11-2010 3:50am

Definate thunderstorm cell headed here.

snowww · 27-11-2010 3:50am

Castledermot any snow ?

DominoDub · 27-11-2010 3:50am

I see some fresh stuff bubbling up in the Irish Sea beside Holyhead ..but that main band over Scot / North England is breaking up .

whiskeyman · 27-11-2010 3:51am

Was v loud and bright in clontarf 10mins ago. No snow here though.

Was thinkin the same myself, not about the cricket tho:P, am watching for some more snow developing in ulster comming my way:D, am kinda nocturnal! Have about an inch here and -1 C

copacetic · 27-11-2010 3:51am

Finally, some flakes in D18, very light and sparse so far though, can only see them within a few feet of streetlights

Riamfada · 27-11-2010 3:52am

Bray is absolutely snowed in, cars being abandoned, hardly got out of it myself. 20mph down the M50 from Bray to Dundrum, not a tap of snow after that.

Loads of thunder and lightning. Have some pics will upload tomorrow.

some_dose · 27-11-2010 3:52am

Getting very cloudy here in Waterford

Hopefully a nice sprinkling of snow to follow though.

You can keep your thunder and lightning - horrible stuff

wild handlin · 27-11-2010 3:52am

Hi Everyone,

Well, after over a weeks absence old wild handlin is back!!

Currently snowing lightly here nr. Enniskillen, was pretty heavy snow from around 20.00 - 21.00 which left about 3cms on the ground.

Looking at the radar we are in line for more showers; infact that system which was over Scotland/N England is heading towards us!!:D

I'll try and keep you all updated with the weather conditions over the next few days

Yes!

ninebeanrows · 27-11-2010 3:55am

wow blinding flash of lightning there big roar, close by.

Real streamer into Bray/ DunLaoghaire such representations on the radar would suggest really intense falls of hail and snow.

Expect some decent accums near 6 inches.

Harps · 27-11-2010 3:56am

Crazy increase in the wind here, its been dead calm all night and literally in the space of a few minutes its gotten to gale force. Thought it was thunder when I heard the first gust but looked out and its as if we're in the middle of a storm

Certainly here it hasn't been nearly as heavy as it looks on the radar actually, but it has been constant light-moderate i'd say most of the time. Probably heaviest so far right now, proper powdery snow.

Looking out my attic window into the sky and the clouds are just that bit too far south!!!

alentejo · 27-11-2010 4:00am

In all my 38 years of existence, i have never seen frost as well as thunder and lighting.cool

ffarrell7 · 27-11-2010 4:00am

Still nothing here in Blanch/Castleknock. Part of the sky very dark overhead but has been like that for past couple of hours. Maybe tomorrow if wind goes more easterly. Raining in parts of Kerry and sout-west England.

Konata · 27-11-2010 4:01am

I'm in Sligo atm - doesn't seem to be much happening.

Is there a chance of us getting thunder/lightning? I really, really had thunder/lightning >_<

thomasj · 27-11-2010 4:02am

Another massive flash in blanch

ollie1 · 27-11-2010 4:04am

I have never heard thunder so loud in my life sounds like bombs going off and the windows are proper rattling I love it

super_furry · 27-11-2010 4:05am

Weird, thunder and lightning in Dublin 16 but no precipitation.

Should be snowing in Sligo within the next hour, regarding thunder/lightning I'd be surprised if Sligo got any imo, showers are loosing intensity as the travel accross Ulster before reaching Sligo, pity.

ciaran76 · 27-11-2010 4:06am

Same in Dublin 15.

Queen-Mise · 27-11-2010 4:06am

is there any significant of thunder and lightning with snow. Is the air/sea air temperatures thats its snow not rain.

Is it unusual to have thunder and lightning with snow.

I dont really associate the two of them together.

ninebeanrows · 27-11-2010 4:06am

Anybody have latest NW 5min chart to hand?

Calibos · 27-11-2010 4:07am

Graupel gave way to some heavy flakey stuff again but has stopped again.

Almighty flash followed by the longest crackleyest thunder about 2:50.

Downsides??

All the effing Friday night revellers are having loud snowball fights and messing right outside the house at 3:00am

STFU ye feckin gobsh!tes!! :rolleyes:

Oh yeah, almost forgot

patneve2 · 27-11-2010 4:07am

still hammering down in dalkey - a good 5cm of graupel now...2 inches in the mildest part of county dublin!

The forecast does say that there will be snow showers in all parts of Dublin, tonight tomorrow, Sunday and next week.

Scubadevils · 27-11-2010 4:08am
