Drove past Dublin airport during that shower. Etihad a330 landed right into it. Crazy they were given clearance to do so. I'd say new pants around for the pilots.

It's the pilots' decision whether to land or not, not the tower's. Obviously no problem for them or they would have gone around. Nothing to see here.

I hear you. but the conditions changed so dramatically in an instant. I'd put my mortgage on that the pilot got a shock on touchdown , lightning flashed 5 second after .

Absolutely not. Bread and butter to these guys.

SleetAndSnow · 10-03-2019 4:17pm

Very heavy hail shower in cork city ATM and winds have gotten very strong. This will definitely make the temp drop it say

I'll send you on bank details for that, or a cheque will do? :pac:

A332 can land in zero visibility. Going around for a light snow shower that they would have been able to see on radar is about equivalent to suggesting a car should jam on the brakes because of a small puddle.

Trust me don't want my mortgage:)
Have to say if that's bread and butter to them lads. I don't know have the plane gets off the ground with the weight of their b@lls

Kermit.de.frog · 10-03-2019 5:03pm

It's snowing.

Have not seen anything like this....in 1 week.

JanuarySnowstor · 10-03-2019 5:10pm

Must admit it's been a lot more sleet and wet snow than I thought. Certainly no lying snow as of yet anyway. Intensity of the showers lacking. Met Eireann were forecasting thunderstorms not sure where they seen that in charts?

There was a thunderstorm in Dublin?

And they also mentioned isolated thunderstorms. Certainly was isolated because there was no thunder where I live, 5km away from the airport.

Glebee · 10-03-2019 5:34pm

Does any of this warrent a yellow warning?

Id say definitely so. The force of the hail, combined with the gusts can cause rapidly deteriorating road conditions.

squarecircles · 10-03-2019 5:37pm

jaysus,there's been an awful outbreak of GDS (Greater Dublin Syndrome) this week.

wheres my snow, waaaaaahhhh.

You'd swear nobody lived outside the M50 on boards.ie/weather at times.

I heard a single rumble, more thundery shower than thunderstorm.

This time last week in Naas

Amidst all the chaos and disruption it was beautiful

What's nauseating is this type of comment from the same ole people over and over. It seems nobody from Dublin is allowed to post anymore...

These aircraft are rated for Cat III b landings, that's runway visibility of between 50-200m which is primarily for taxiing safety. At typical approach speed anything less than 1km is essentially zero visibility.

it must be indicative of an equally repetitive opposing narrative.

Your rebuttal is equally as repetitive & predictable.

Same ole,same ole,eh Gaoth.

To be fair Dublin got snow today so I don’t think there was any “where’s my snow, waaaaaaahhh”

pad199207 · 10-03-2019 6:11pm

Some central areas could have dustings this evening. Dew points are pretty low and showers likely to stay going until later tonight.

Haha take a look at today’s SFERICS before you make such a poorly informed comment.

Snowbiee21 · 10-03-2019 6:14pm

Snowing @Dublin airport

Donegal Storm · 10-03-2019 6:16pm

Prolonged spell of fairly heavy snow in Letterkenny, settling on the grass but not amounting to much elsewhere

monster1 · 10-03-2019 6:17pm

Just had a quick heavy flurry here in midwes roscommon.. Any chance of some thunder snow?? God I'd love a bit of thunder snow

Thrashssacre · 10-03-2019 6:18pm

Bucketing snow in portarlington

Proper snow in Mountmellick. Tom cat just returned from rambling. So it must be in for the evening. He's no mitcher

Snowbiee21 · 10-03-2019 6:37pm

It will continue cold and showery this evening. The showers will turn wintrier as temperatures fall to between 0 and +2 degrees. Met.ie update for Dublin

pad199207 · 10-03-2019 6:41pm

Kildangan Co Kildare now

Meteorite58 · 10-03-2019 6:55pm

Big convective showers streaming across the country with the area of LP off the coast of Scotland.

Frequent wintry showers here near Tralee that are intensifying as the day goes on, huge blustery hail shower a while ago.

5.6C
4.2mm
Gusting over 70 km/h

pad199207 · 10-03-2019 6:55pm

Athy Co Kildare now

SleetAndSnow · 10-03-2019 7:01pm

everything pretty much falling as rain here in Cork still. Hoping we at least get something different soon.

pistolpetes11 · 10-03-2019 7:33pm

Decent snow shower in Newbridge now

Newbridge snow I hear isn’t much to go mad about ;-)

A dusting in Letterkenny now though melting all the while between showers

SeaFields · 10-03-2019 8:02pm

No snow here where I am in South Kerry but was driving in a hail shower awhile ago. With the strong winds behind it, it was like a scene from Arctic Truckers with the hail being whipped across the roads. Kids loved it.

SleetAndSnow · 10-03-2019 8:25pm

Sleeting in cork city now. When the rain comes so too does the strong wind. Bitterly cold wind too at that

DOCARCH · 10-03-2019 8:37pm

Snow shower in Dublin 16.

Foggy Jew · 10-03-2019 8:39pm

I honestly thought there was someone with a snow-machine aimed at my west facing wall today at about 1.30. In the height of the Beast from the East & storm Emma I never saw the likes of it. Trim Co Meath. Calm now, but expecting anything.

pad199207 · 10-03-2019 8:39pm

A very heavy fall of snow in Naas

Your some man for the Met Eireann digs, plenty of recorded lightening activity showing on the readily available charts.
