Feb 29th - Snowfall/Wintry Conditions

Arpege shows less snow than yesterdays runs with rain mostly for Meath, Dublin and Kildare, snow in the midlands, north-west and Ulster.



GFS has toned down even further from yesterday with a very brief moment of snow over the midlands with snow mostly across NI and perhaps Donegal.



Hirlam moves the snowrisk north from yesterdays runs as well, keeping it to the north midlands, NI and the north-west. Rain along eastern counties too.



Icon takes in more of the midlands for some temporary snow, rain along eastern counties away from high ground.



A definite downgrade all around for tonights snow in eastern and more southern areas and central areas.

Still looks game on for Ulster, NI and maybe parts of the north midlands and very north of Leinster. Rain and flooding will be more of an issue for most parts tonight. Lying snow for any length of time is probably more restricted to high ground and parts of NI.

Is the snow starting off as rain as it's about 7c at present and will probably be 4c by the time it arrives.

coastal areas of the west and eastern counties likely to be rain all the way. For parts of the north midlands and north-west probably starting off as light rain, then a period of sleet or wet snow then a quick transition to rain again.

Inland areas of NI and high ground probably snow much of the time, but even in those areas the mild will break through, melting most of what falls away from high ground.

Temperature falling steadily during the day here near Tralee, now 5.9C , DP 3.8C

light rain
