We had a few showers earlier but none lasting more than 10 minutes. A good dashing of it would be nice.

Weather Warning

Issued at 10 January 2010 - 00:35
Weather Warning

Severe weather continues.
Further heavy falls of snow in Leinster at times overnight. Sleet and snow developing more widely across the country during Sunday and into Monday, giving further falls of 5 - 10 cm in places, with Munster and Leinster most at risk.

Frosty, icy conditions persisting throughout on a widespread scale. Freezing fog lifting early Sunday as winds freshen.

Bit of an upgrade on earliers warning

Really?!

NufcNavan · 10-01-2010 1:55am

BBC were giving plenty of snow for Leinster on Tuesday BTW.

thetonynator · 10-01-2010 1:55am

Is this just wishful thinking or is that huge band of showers around dublin and kildare starting to move south on the radar???

SkyNews are giving it for the entire country on Tuesday!;)

Mr. Larson · 10-01-2010 1:56am

You would think by this that everyone on the East Coast is blessed... However - having been in Dublin and Bray earlier today and having witnessed proper snow - in Wicklow Town there hasn't been more than the white of your fingernail of snow coverage over the past week.

I guess it's the location and proximity to the sea? Must be the worst place in Ireland for snowfall :mad:

Birdnuts · 10-01-2010 1:56am

Mental snow here tonight - an extra 10cm on top of the 7cm already on the ground:D:D:D:cool:

PS: Still snowing:)

WolfeIRE · 10-01-2010 1:56am

Just to remind you of the HIRLAM link again for anyone wishing to know how much precip they will see between now and Monday night. Everyone will get snow. It's what happens from Monday afternoon that is the million drachma question

By the way, if you think you are frustrated with the lack of or too much snow then listen to this skit

Evelyn Cusack said at 5:55pm that she hoped the snow wouldn't do much damage.

Below freezing temperatures during the night and tomorrow along with heavy snow could lead to power cuts.

how?

df1985 · 10-01-2010 1:58am

He doesn't always apply to the situation, but its easier leave him there than copy and paste every time :L

Irish Steve · 10-01-2010 2:02am

The temperature prediction is "interesting" too, as they seem pretty specific that it's not going to go above 5, even though the water off the south coast does get warmer. Hmmmmmmm

Is there a website that tells you the current temperatures around the country? I tried the met eireann site but no luck.

Maynooth has had constant on and off snowfall. Fair amount on the ground now.

duckysauce · 10-01-2010 2:04am

The tax man · 10-01-2010 2:04am

Back garden,
The dog after doing lines of the back garden,
Salt supply doing the job nicely.All that snow didn't make a dent on it.

JonnyM · 10-01-2010 2:05am

nothing here in arklow as of yet

Itsdacraic · 10-01-2010 2:05am

What are ye lads thinking as regards the chance of serious snow in the Limerick region tomorrow?

The Met Eireann Outlook reads like the apocalypse, whereas the other weather sites I have looked at only seem to give a light enough snow for Limerick (if any).

jds0ur · 10-01-2010 2:05am

Startin again on the east coast (booterstown), big flakes comin down slow

Bucklesman · 10-01-2010 2:05am

16 cm of snow in my back garden in Blanch.

Right, I'm going to bed. I want to lose that ruler in the drifts tomorrow morning.
