    The news at one referred to it as the weather crisis. Gerald Fleming said the front will stall in the south east with Kilkenny and Carlow getting most or something to that effect.

    Good news is the thaw is still forecast.

    Does that mean we will be getting snow in Kilkenny today? :(

    I think for Dublin specifically we are looking at snow initially but gradually back to rainy sleety hail mix. Also hail showers could effect the coast here later tonight aswell. Im not expecting anything significant in this area really.

    No, it went from rain to graupel and then snow.

    Whatever snow/precipitation falls today in East and North leinster will be of snow. It is still freezing here in west dublin. - 2 in Csatleknock. However I feel that once again there will be rain for the South of the country..Cork, Waterford, Kerry, Clare and Limerick area although the prcipitation might not even get down that far judging by the radar.

    erratum: whatever PRECIPITATION not snow...

    We had about 30m of lashing, 100% pure old fashioned atlantic rain here in Galway city, thankfully it has stopped now (more or less). No ppt is better than any rain.

    Just heard it's snowing 'really badly' in Antrim town. Also BBC NI reporting heavy snow in around Derry.
    Dark clouds are starting to gather over Belfast.
    Waiting patiently now.

    That thin southern line of precipitation is all 100% rain.
    A new patch appeared in NW of lake Corrib, around Leenane, I am hoping that it might have a little sleet, or maybe even mixed snow. It's movement direction is much less westernly than that of the first ppt band, it looks to move rather from the north now. We shall see!

    It has started to slacken off here now still a few flakes falling but has turned the area from no snow / little ice to a white winter wonderland.

    Yes, but they are just on the coast :)
    Maybe it cools down a little over the lake.
    Sometimes I like to dream, too :)
