Nice shower in tullow, given a light covering, still going on but getting weak. A few more of these and we'll be well set.

15 miles north of Earthman, it's a balmy dry 4.3C with dewpoint above 0C
Grass temp is 1.7C and there is a decent breeze.

Bloody hell mothman that the tropics compared to here

Even the NRA Arklow by-pass is showing 1.6 with a road temp of 0.7 and I see it's not treated...

No breeze at all here almost calm at the moment-tempted to wait for that shower to bear down to see what it has to offer.

Ground is frozen and white here btw

ninebeanrows · 23-02-2005 12:10am

Temperature now dropping from a rise to 3.0c
to 2.4c but dropping steadily under a clear sky..

Showery, it will be real hit and miss, sun will melt anything during the day, but tomorrow night could be intertesting. Still snowing in tullow picking up again.

Villain · 23-02-2005 12:16am

Danno can you see the activity around Tullow? is there much more to come, I've to be up at 6 but hate going to bed when its snowing

Danno · 23-02-2005 12:19am

Weathercheck, keep me linked to those AVBrief radar, or if possible, give me the radar index link PLEASE!

embee · 23-02-2005 12:19am

Absolutely nothing happening in County Louth.

There appears to be a line running back out into the Irish sea from you, with heavier pulses along it, blues, then yellows and oranges, then blues, then more yellows and oranges...

County Down and more inportantly, the Mournes are robbing all the snow on you, just like the Wicklow Mtns were robbing all the snow for Carlow. earlier yesterday evening.

And I'm just a few mile north of that line

with thin cloud. still 4.3C

Danno · 23-02-2005 12:26am

People in Cork must be really annoyed, there is a line of heavy precip, 10-15 miles off shore all evening.

23-02-2005 12:26am

Complete white out here now.
Very big flakes and settling happily on frozen Ground!

And you've bright echoes to arrive yet.
Looks like you may have it for another hour

Gonzo · 23-02-2005 12:31am

thin dusting here now, snow falling is very fine, looks like for the moment wicklow into carlow is the place to be for all the main snow activity.

Scubadevils · 23-02-2005 12:33am

disappointing night here in Dublin it seems then. Doesnt seem as if anything is heading this way. Maybe tomorrow...

Make that South Wicklow, though there is lighter precipitation off the coast here near Wicklow Town.

Temp a constant 4.3C with a good 12mph breeze.

23-02-2005 12:36am

Still pelting it down outside.

Someones been doing the notation whilst on the beer

massive flakes still falling here-I'm tempted to get into my jeep and head up to croghan... but I fear ye mightn't get any more reports of me and neither would the rest of my family

Danno · 23-02-2005 12:48am

Keep the reports coming ppl

Where is Weathercheck gone???

your just jealous

actually i kinda guesed there was something wrong with it. the last one is the 11.30 readings.

Danno · 23-02-2005 12:51am

Intense red blob over earthman...

Mothman · 23-02-2005 12:53am

Looks like there is precipitation over Louth. still some red echoes to hit Earthman.

I'm willing it to move slightly north, but considering that the 10m wind is from north, no amount of will power will work.

Temp has dropped to 3.4C
Wind has eased just a little to 10mph.
Good thing is that dewpoint is now -1.5C

23-02-2005 12:55am

I see it I feel it I hear it.
Snow is now mixed with very hard hail-I'm begining to wonder is it Greenland I'm in :eek: This by the way is definitely gonna make its way over to Irish1 and Tullow, looking at the direction its taking...

Anyways I'm off to bed! Here endeth my reports for the nigh, my jeep looks like an igloo

Think I've had a RH reading down to 18%, but don't even have a figure down to 50% most months.

Mothman · 23-02-2005 12:57am

Dewpoint -2.2C, at least something is heading in right direction :rolleyes:

Scubadevils · 23-02-2005 12:58am

I cant access any radar except the bbc one, does anyone know if what weathercheck mentioned ealier has formed? Or is there anything on the way to Dublin? Otherwise I can just go to bed!

23-02-2005 1:02am

And down the snow is still coming thick and fast maybe I'll stay up :P

(star trek tng is on sky one now...)

Go to bed

Danno can concur. There is a little light percipitation showing up on the 2345 radar. Nothing like what is over Earthman.

embee · 23-02-2005 1:04am

Precipitation in Louth?

Not here there isn't. Oh, where is the SNOW?!

Danno · 23-02-2005 1:04am

0.5c here.

23-02-2005 1:05am

Felix theres some echoes forming to the south west of the isle of man with dublin on their sleeve-but go to bed they wont be with you till the small hours-off to bed with you!

Now for star trek

The little bit that was there has moved south into Meath

Scubadevils · 23-02-2005 1:07am

ok, thanks all. Will set the alarm for the wee hours and see whats happening then!

23-02-2005 1:08am

Close to two inches now I'd say and pelting it down

Feck star trek

Danno · 23-02-2005 1:11am

Rightio, change is underway,

A large area of midlevel cloud has broken, the temperatures are plummeting, and there is a big shower starting to push in over me, it is building too!

At long last!

South Wicklow looks like it is getting plastered!

Mothman · 23-02-2005 1:12am

Partly cloudy, temp gradually dropping, now 3.1C. Grass temp is hovering around 0C and wind has dropped to 6mph.

As someone said earlier WC's forecast was more accurate than MetEireann (and don't forget the first mention of a white Christmas was here).

We had 2-4 inches here in Portlaoise this morning, just enough to do this before it melted:

True. I had an appointment at the Hospital this morning in Portlaoise and it was covered!

Danno · 23-02-2005 1:15am

Where in Laois are you Wisteria?

Danno · 23-02-2005 1:18am

JB123 · 23-02-2005 1:18am

A good 2 inches here now and more settling

Danno · 23-02-2005 1:22am

Bah, the shanon radar has not inputted anything for the 0000z report.

I can only see a shower in Meath and Wicklow.

Danno · 23-02-2005 1:28am
