    If there is snow lying on my car later i think we will name it the Darkman2 snow!

    Latest Met Radar doesn't look that bad actually, quite a band pushing across but it does usually die before hitting Dublin, Naas might be far enough west ye never know.

    Almost continuous heavy hail here for the past while, really heavy stuff at the moment again! Lots of thunder about looking at the radar but haven't heard any here yet, hard to do so with the sound of the hail!

    It could make it across......but temp is 3.1C and dp 0.8C (I'm not sure what that implies but it seems too high all around!)

    If anything it is intensifying as it moves across the country.

    No hope in Waterford, even if the showers managed to swing this way, temp went down to 3.3c now gone back up to 4.1c with a DP of 1.7c:(
