Where are you? Almost looks like sleet here off the Castletown Road.

KizzyMonster · 28-11-2010 5:10pm

Oh holy crap, about twenty minutes ago there were some lovely cumulus clouds gathering over Finglas...
Just checked now, everything has changed!
The whole sky is pink and it looks sooo inclement! Rolling its way to D15!
(Hehe, and it's coming MY way!)

HellFireClub · 28-11-2010 5:11pm

Just heard the callsign for the rescue helicopter Rescue1 which is queued for take off so someone is probably stuck up in the mountains!

That is deadly:D but is that not like illegal to broadcast something like that?

pokerface_me · 28-11-2010 5:12pm

Live facing the Dublin Mountains on the foothills, the biggest dirtiest filthy clouds are on the way over the hills, temp has dropped 2 degree's in 15mins. They look like thunder clouds for all the world, already have 4 inches of lying snow here with plenty on the way in the next while.

Looks like the system is swinging things toward us ?

looks that way but its painfully slow ,

I think our best bet will be when the winds change direction around 9-12 to an easterly flow , hopefully a few showers will bubble up from the Irish sea

Squeaksoutloud · 28-11-2010 5:13pm

Anyone any idea where to see the One news Farming forecast ye were talking about earlier..

The link on the RTE player doesnt seem to have the weather on it?

Lower avenue rd. Back to grauppel again here now. still pretty persistent.

[edit] lol back to the heavy stuff again. From the looks of it on radar it hasn't even begun to snow in drogheda and it looks like we're getting at least another hour or two of what's coming down now...

Oscar Bravo · 28-11-2010 5:24pm

-5 in Casement and Oak Park Carlow on the 1600 Met Reports!

lucernarian · 28-11-2010 5:24pm

The wee system around Louth is not going to track towards Connaught, the upper low will make sure of that if the NAE forecasts are correct.

What's more likely to happen is that this LP is going to head into Meath, in a SW direction, probably missing Dublin, while it decays after it moves over land. It will probably die out around the Westmeath area.

Really ? Think it should be here about 8 or 9 ? Maybe Im missing something .

Is that system south of arklow, heading north or south???? PLEASE HEAD IN THE ARKLOW DIRECTION :P lovely whiteout here already but more snow is always welcome

GoneHome · 28-11-2010 5:28pm

What's the story for Cork, any of the white stuff coming our way?

Thats forecast not current, so it looks like its headed south of arklow.

Dotsie~tmp · 28-11-2010 5:29pm

As sun went down the eastern anvil heads turned an intense pink. Only lasted a minute.

Villain · 28-11-2010 5:29pm

-5.2c.

Highest Temp today was -2.7c!!

Plasmoid · 28-11-2010 5:32pm

Really nasty looking system just off Dun Laoighaire. Looks like nice snow for whoever gets it.

bestleftfull3 · 28-11-2010 5:32pm

is there any likelyhood of more snow in offaly ? radar doesn look good

mayflyatr · 28-11-2010 5:32pm

Looks like an atomic bomb going off in the back ground on the right behind the church!!!

Speak Now · 28-11-2010 5:33pm

I can see very dark clouds at sea to my south east, very calm though so they won't be drifting in over us. Currently a bitter -4.1c.
Sun tried it's best earlier but it never got above -1c.

Sonovagun · 28-11-2010 5:38pm

Looks like it's gonna break up before it hits us here in meath! It has got cloudy but no snow!

Well this Low system is spinning all over the place but I don't think it will hit Carlow. It could change but at the moment I doubt it

Stopped here now but I reckon it's a lull...a bit of a dry slot and then there's another band or secondary circulation.
either way what's fallen will freeze now that the sun's gone.

Tea drinking weather.

Welsh Wizard · 28-11-2010 5:42pm

Snow for Greystones ?

Trotter · 28-11-2010 5:48pm

Made it home to Waterford.. M9 is fine until you hit Kilkenny and then its in a rotten state down towards Waterford.

I can see some dark clouds out to sea to the South East that seem to be creeping in a little bit.

Anyone else from Waterford keeping an eye on this? Id love to know what the experts here are thinking!

Jamie-b · 28-11-2010 5:50pm

No snow in Wicklow town still- but all the snow on the ground is freezing an is very slippy. Not looking forward to the drive to work tomorrow!

ednwireland · 28-11-2010 5:51pm

ok guys you've had your fun can you turn the snow machines off now !

really weird this afternoon temp jumped to 5.8c when it sterted snowing melted snow off the drive and cars (swept smow off earlier)

Wertz · 28-11-2010 5:54pm

Back to steady falling graupell here now after that lull. Main rioad is looking dicey now never mind side streets.

Shane732 · 28-11-2010 5:56pm

So any snow for southern Meath/Dublin area???

NIALL D · 28-11-2010 5:57pm

okla · 28-11-2010 6:02pm

I'm waiting on confirmation too, have to drive to Clonmel via some bad roads. Kilkenny got even more snow last night than the night before.
Been lower than -2 all day. Was -7 at 10.30am :O

BEASTERLY · 28-11-2010 6:05pm

-8.2 here already after a max of -1.7.

Textbook frost hollow effect here!

Last night we got a min of -9.2 but once any sort of wind got going cold pooling was abolished and temps shot back up to -4 after a few hours of -8/9.

Also very happy that there was zero thaw here today. This cold spell is atleast twice as good as last january.

tubos · 28-11-2010 6:05pm

Did Anyone drive from Dublin to Athlone/Galway today or vice versa? How was the M50/M4/M6?

Lissoy · 28-11-2010 6:06pm

Snowing lightly for the past hour on the Meath coast. Just stopped but sticking.
Still lots of clouds around though.

Heyes · 28-11-2010 6:21pm

Any hope for south dublin for any snow ?

wild handlin · 28-11-2010 6:21pm

Not much sign of any snow clouds....yet:pac:

LookingFor · 28-11-2010 6:22pm

I wonder how far north the clump off gorey will be dragged. It might hit north wicklow, possibly even dublin...if it doesn't collapse. The other stuff off dublin seems to be dissipating, although it wasn't ever moving in to dublin anyway, was being pulled up into the stream coming in to dundalk etc.

By the looks of the radar Dundalk should be getting some fairly decent falls at the moment?

Garseys · 28-11-2010 6:23pm

I'm hoping we get even dusting of snow tonight/tomorrow morning, means I won't have to skate down to the Luas!:pac:
