    It's been handfuls of tiny flakes from around 10AM, nothing even close to a shower and nothing sticking.

    Many of the app forecasts seem to be peddling back on the snow, and reducing the time window it will be about.
    Is this the general feeling from people watching the charts ??

    It’s not really due to kick off until tomorrow, Tuesday evening ....... I wouldn’t pay too much attention to any of the apps as they really just give averages from the information that they pull from whichever chart they are using

    Just tiny flakes falling all day in Blanchardstown. Bit disappointing so far

    Given that nothing was supposed to happen until tomorrow can’t see the disappointment myself.

    And the small flakes are what you want. That’s dry snow. You just need lots of them.

    I'm having real trouble filtering out sarcasm from honesty on this thread :D

    This is like going to see a movie in the cinema and halfway through the trailers declaring that it's a bit of an anticlimax.

    We're lucky to see anything falling from the sky for the next 24 hours.

    Also encountering cynicism in work. All the "Sure, they say these things, but Dublin gets a bit of dust that's gone by the time you get to work". This event might put some manners on people who felt "let down" by the Ophelia warnings.

    Just to say guys ... been out and about round cork city and surrounds today at clients etc. The general attitude for some bizarre reason amongst those i talk to re the up coming weather event is YEAH SURE. The amount of cynicism is unreal. ALL thinking this is just being built up out of proportion and many dont believe a word of it.

    YET I was in and around a few Dunnes Stores, Tesco's and strangely they are all doing a brisk trade with many shelves empty. Also coal merchants are booming, my wife had to Q, which is not usual where she goes.

    So my thought is in public people seem to be saying ah yeah sure, but at the same time stocking up big time. Whats that all about?? Why be like that? Why not take the warnings, prepare, and then just be actually delighted IF THE EVENT Doesnt happen or is not as bad as thought.

    Its just pure cynisism and fck you jack me fein society we now have ..

    Maybe it's a Cork thing, I notice a lot of posters here from Cork are always very cynical about the prospect of snow there.

    Temperature 2.2c and RH 64% here in West Clare, meaning a DP of -4c and wet bulb just below 0c. If only there were showers!

    It's quite cloudy here too.

    Yeah .. because I remember after Ophelia whipped through the city, it hit us direct, full on, with mainly damage to trees etc .. even then the attitude towards the RED alert was fck that, what was that all about, not needed.

    But yet it kept people of the streets and at home which did reduce injury and death big time. Of course they are not thinking of that.

    Instead the thought process is ME FEIN ..

    "Once an event doesnt effect ME then whats it all about".
    "It did nothing to ME, it cost ME nothing so why was there a red alert interfering in my life ffs"

    Me me me .. its all about me

    Have had exactly the same reaction from a few mates, who cite the time I was shouting from the rooftops that Ophelia was going to be serious to cancel plans etc. yet there were very little effects seen in Dublin.

    Hopefully this one means they will take heed of the warnings in future!

    Does anybody honestly think school in dublin will be cancelled? or is the 6cm on tuesday night not enough?

    Possibly, that 6cm might be more like 10cm + in a few places by Wednesday morning.

    Meh I think thats a Cork attitude thing (generalisation sure but it doesn't mean everybody obvisiouly). Ophelia hit us bad down here in Cork, no doubt.

    As for snow, I think its because its been so long since we have had settled snow down here in the City (haven't even had enough to make a small snowball in years) that when snow is predicted people just say not gonna happen. Hopefully this one will happen, its been too long and we are well overdue some nice snow here!

    Shannon airport TAF mentioning a possibility of snow showers from 4pm tomorrow....yeahhhh :)

    PROB 30 TEMPO 2716-2718 5000 -SHSN

    Dublin will have occasionally snow showers from 2pm

    TEMPO 2714-2718 3000 -SHSN

    Cork has a possibility overnight and again from 3pm
    PROB 30
    TEMPO 2700→2708 5000 -SHSN SCT018CB
    PROB30
    TEMPO 2715→2718 5000 -SHSN SCT018CB

    And again, a chance for Knock from 3pm
    PROB30
    TEMPO 2715→2718 4000 -SHSN

    Being honest, I'd be surprised if they were that widespread by tomorrow, wasn't expecting that until Wednesday.
