oooo bb mentioned the snow. There we go then.

 

Hope its constant heavy, slow moving showers. mmm

IF you do get snow, they won't be slow moving showers, that's for sure, the clouds will be moving through at a rate of knots!!!

[smithyweather]

We will see snow. Every model has it down and it sonly 24 hours away now.

We had snow and sleet yesterday. This morning I was up at 8 and there was snow on some of the hills

[ronan]

Wind really picking up tonight! Its dry so maybe i should put the washing out to dry! My knickers might end up slapping you up the face in the morning while your coming out the door to go to school Smithy!  

[BornFromTheVoid]

Perhaps a walk up the Galtee Mts tomorrow could be worthwhile!

 

[mountain shadow]

More like a crawl BFTV.

[The Eagle]

The met office has me down for 2c max and heavy snow all day tomorrow. Surprised there are no warnings, it's looking very snowy.

 

Don't think i'll see accumulations. 200m probs.

[The Eagle]

Starting to see the wind increasing here now. Be interesting to see how this develops this evening.

[skywatcher]

For sure, our friends in Derry and thereabouts are going to have interesting weather tonight.

[bobbarley]

Probably no warnings yet as they're not sure how much will settle. West coast will take a pounding from the wind, hopefully on north coast south west wind direction will help us!

[BornFromTheVoid]

The 06z ensembles have some impressive storms over xmas period.

 

24th

 

 

 

25th

 

 

 

 

 

Something to keep an eye on...

[smithyweather]

I wonder will we see lying snow at low levels? I hope so.

[jello]

latest bbc weather on bbc news is going for significant falls of snow for Scotland and Northern Ireland.

[The Eagle]

I think a lot of Ireland away from west coasts will see sleet and snow showers later tonight driven by the very strong winds. Deffo pulling an all nighter for this!

[Beaufort12]

I think the Glenshane pass is the place to be tonight. Insane blizzards. Surprised there are no snow warnings in place especially for higher ground. Slack if you ask me. Surprised there isn't more a buzz about this storm. Everyone is transfixed by snow the whole time haha

Crazy wind and rain here during the last half hour.

[gary1365]

i'm away from the north coast for xmas when things are getting interesting. Bangor always seems to be sheltered from the worst of the extreme weather. but i am hoping i don't get a call from the job agency to go in to the cheese factory tonight or tomorrow i don't fancy driving to moira from bangor in this weather.

[gary1365]

hmm i'm try to decide whether to swap my wheels around on the car so the good winter tyres are on the front or not. i just have normal tyres on the rear atm.

[The Cashel Cockney]

Very wild here at the mo. Just got soaked doing the school run!

[smithyweather]

The cold front has just past through Galway down to 5c. Perhaps we will see some snow by 9pm.

[gary1365]

getting pretty windy here too my car nearly blew off the trolley jack.

[BornFromTheVoid]

Kent station in Cork city. 1 confirmed injury.

 

 

[gary1365]

ouch that looks nasty hopefully it's only the one injury and not too bad.

[Sussex Jules]

Hope you guys have battened down the hatches and are ready. Quite concerned I have family in Clare, Sligo and Dublin. Stay safe guys.
