    Well then , I will be staying put if that is the case ,

    With the M2 buoy's DP back in the negative (-0.4) and Wind speed of 25-35 Kts

    Although I would like to see the wind direction at 40 (NE) or 90 (E) not the 30 (NNE) its at now

    Is there anywhere else to get wind direction reports for the M2 buoy or do we need to wait till the next met update, which I think will be around 2.20am for 2am readings?

    Not fair to call at all...there's still plenty of potential. Actually a new line of showers has just appeared on radar. Add to that it hasn't even started properly yet!

    As as much as I'd love to see it happen, I think it's time to face the music on a widespread fall of snow across Dublin.

    Think you will have to wait for its update , It has been taking nearly an hour or more all day to update but I noticed it was a lot quicker for the 1am update only taking 15 mins !

    Heavy stuff over Wicklow is pushing quickly West on the latest radar to the extent that parts of Eastern Kildare could get a nice fall assuming it clears the Wicklow Mtns. Also more activity being generated offshore in North Dublin:)

    Just had a look at the radar, that activity has increased a lot towards North Dublin! Looks like I'm up for a bit yet...

    guys i'd advise you to use the met office radar, it is 100 better than met.ie's radar at determining precipitation intensity/boundaries of showers...
