It's back.
Guess what back
Yes its back

No hoo ha about it this time really but , more of a chance of see'ing the odd flake than the last panic.

Indeed there was some here a little while ago.

Now let it please go away thanks.

Whats bringing it?

Well theres a cold polar air mass over the country which looks like it will hang around for at least a week.

Combine that with some weather activity some troughs and fronts and theres no business like snow business if you like that sort of thing.

It's more the north and west at risk for the moment but all areas could have some.

Tomorrow looks good for us Dubs (as does later on in the weekend when the winds may turn more NE).

Yes there was a lot of activity in the Irish sea today.

Unlike the last time, this is snow and the north north west wind has been blowing into wales giving a good covering in parts there.

A north East would bring that here.

Well I did see a few floating flakes between the hailstones.

But nothing is sticking....:(

it would stick if there was a decent shower of snow but there are cloudless skys now and during winter cold snaps Ireland usually escapes with a totally cloud free night with just a heavy frost. this cold snap is definitely colder than the joke of a cold snap that never happened in January tho.

Shes snowin here in South Derry ... ww)

I'd say there is about 3+ inchs on the ground... and its still snowing.

Nice pictures

Well here in sheltered south Wicklow, it is very cold and frosty and there are some light snow flurries blowing about, but nothing significant.
All this stuff is mainly affecting Northern and western areas thanks to the wind direction being north-northwest.

We usually don't get a whole lot unless the wind is in the East or North east, but looking at the radar theres a lot of activity, so I guess It will be a miracle if some of it doesnt appear even here especially given it's blowing about now.

As regards what Longfield said about the wind changing to the east by the end of the w/end, thats going to be combined, it looks like with a rise in pressure, which indicates that by then it will be mostly dry

Go away Snow, please thanks.

Continuing heavy snow across Westmeath for the last hour or so.

Lafortezza · 26-02-2004 11:18am

There was a touch of light snow/sleet this morning in South Dublin, it was sticking a bit around the grass at UCD but its getting nice and bright now. Fecking brass monkeys though, brr

Gillie · 26-02-2004 11:33am

On and off here is Sligo for the morning.
Not really sticking yet

snow rules

26-02-2004 12:08pm

The flurries have changed to steady heavy snow down here in South Wicklow.

It is settling.

Tellox · 26-02-2004 2:12pm

Got loads of pics of my digicam from my bedroom window...
Will upload em later, right now, Im off to build a snowman!

Imposter · 26-02-2004 2:30pm

Wait until ye get some proper snow there!

super_furry · 26-02-2004 2:31pm

Why does the east coast almost always seem to avoid any kind of heavy snow?

Is that Leitrim?:D

sunbeam · 26-02-2004 4:07pm

Lots of snow and hail showers here. The ground stays white for about five minutes and then it melts in the sun.

I've never seen the east coast of the country 'avoid' anything.

The east-coast has always had a thing about snow ever since the......unpleasantness.
At the first flake, it hitches it's skirts and runs towards the equator.

Mossy Monk · 26-02-2004 5:00pm

snow here in the County of Waterford also

the Comeraghs have a bit on them, not a whole lot from what i saw but down here at sea level it isnt sticking

sunbeam · 26-02-2004 7:16pm

Still lots of blustery showers, but it's not settling. Hills look good though.
