Potential for Snow Showers this Week, 8-12th Dec

I'm still convinced it will snow on higher populated ground in the East including S Dublin later tonight, the potential has not gone away,but below 600ft,sticking is unlikely,too much saturated ground before the freeze

But what I will say is it's a pathetic effort compared to a proper northern source routed via Scandinavia(ie a long track north easterly) ,you get better dew points that direction and none of that gulf stream spoilage

Just for the re-confirmation, it is snowing at the Finner station as of 21:00

That's a separate shower though, it should be snow, it's away from the front in the cold air


The front is what's giving most of the bottom two thirds of the country rain and is way further south than Finner or Sligo or Fermanagh (where snow has fallen already) and hasn't engaged enough cold air yet for snow below 400 metres or so
It's this front we are watching as the beast with enough moisture to make a change to snow exciting
The showers later while affecting all parts will be most active in the north and northwest
Again those are going to be of most interest well inland and on high ground even up there accumulation wise I think

At 850ft south dublin, have been outside the past hour or so. Poxy night but not too cold (or should I say not cold enough!)
No hint of snow in the air just yet

probably looking at a snowline of about 1500ft still in S Dublin, it should halve soon though
Can't think where you'd be in S Dublin at that height but at a guess,it's rural not sub urban and near enough to the straight line from three rock over to Kippure westwards? Or near but above the blue light
If so I'll eat my hat if it's not snowing there overnight if the precipitation stays
