    Met Eireann downgrade on the widespread snow showers

    Today

    Many parts of the country will remain wet this evening as heavy rain continues. Later in the night it will become much colder and frosty as the rain clears and wintry showers will develop across the northwest. Lowest temperatures between 0 and -3 degrees with northwesterly winds later.

    Tomorrow

    Bright and cold tomorrow with widespread frost at first. Many places will remain dry for the day, but wintry showers will continue along western coastal counties. Highest temperatures of 3 to 6 degrees in northerly winds.

    Slow but steady fall in temps. 3.6c DP 2.4c atm.

    I would have to imagine the Dublin/Wicklow mountains should be having snow this afternoon.

    Yep!!!

    Lough Bray about an hour ago. Was lots more up higher but was on the bike so stopped around the snowline!

    Clare would be considered a western coastal county wouldn't it? Hopefully I may get snow tomorrow.

    To say I'm tetchy this evening is an understatement :-) We'll probably wake up to a great view of the Bluestacks covered in snow but that just doesn't cut it anymore. The Beach Snow of 2010 ruined all future winters for me :-(

    How long would it take for the ice/frost to thaw out do you think? Was planning to head out for a spin on a road bike in the morning around 8.30am. I live in North county Dublin so it would take in the back country roads of this area.

    10am or so just to be safe for back roads as they wouldn't be gritted.

    Exactly. I remember the winters of 2009/2010 with thick snow on the beaches in Portmarnock and Malahide for several days with snow in the Dublin suburbs for over two weeks in November and then again in December.

    Dublin/Wicklow mountains are used to heavy snowfall..sometimes it is up there for weeks on end (or in 2009/2010) for nearly 3 months in places near Sally Gap.

    However over other parts of Europe at the moment the weather is much milder....southern UK, France, Holland, Belgium, Germany.....

    Having said that a north west wind brings very little in terms of actual lying snow....you need polar air for that. That is why the east and north of the country do very well when an easterly/north-easterly flow kicks in....that brings proper 'dry' snow and not slush stuff.

    I think the snow risk is all but diminished to peaks now i'm afraid , the colder air is just too far behind the band of precipitation .

    It'll certainly be icy though come morning whenever the cold air to take over.
