A stunning clear, and very chilly day, with beautiful blue unblemished skies! It says 5.9 deg on the weather station… But it feels a lot less.

[Bring Back The Beast]

Hey guys.. could Dublin see any snow from this weather front tomorrow night or is it likely to be rain?

Even falling snow would be nice at this stage!

[Rocheydub]

It certainly could, but accumulations will be small enough. I'm north Dublin and we had a nice dusting this morning.

[BIG LAD]

great snowcover there pom. can just see slieve gallion peeking through in the distance of the last pic! the hilly areas to the south of monaghan town have a similar altitude at you but have lost half their snowcover.

[ForeverPomeroysnow]

Aye that's sleive Gallion alright big lad. Hopefully we will get another top up tomorrow night

[Su Campu]

Ulster again looks favourite for snow. Further south the frontal gradient will dissipate, meaning precipitation will fizzle out later in the evening. With that little low pressure centre forming to the south, it will probably mean an easterly marine layer along the east coast, so a real battle of physics at play to decide what Dublin gets. Very little, I would say.

[Abyss]

Ulster wide event Su? Or more so Eastern areas?

[stormforce 10]

temps dropping like a stone here. outside temp 0.8c.

[ForeverPomeroysnow]

I'm not too optimistic for Dublin, the irish sea will probably exert its influence and give us rain or sleet tomorrow night, but fingers crossed

[sundog]

A dry bright day here but with some cloud about at times ,max temp 4.8c.

 

Currently clear,the temp has yo - yoed a bit the last few hrs due to some cloud cover at times,hope it stays clear now,current temp -0.5c.

 

As for tomorrow nights precip im sure i will probably end up disappionted but i live in hope.

[mountain shadow]

I'm not entirely convinced the first band will even reach here. Every run throws the pattern West.

[snowmore]

Temp dropping now to -2.6° from -0.5° an hour ago.

[Su Campu]

-4.9 °C at Mullingar this morning. -4.7 at Casement and -4.6 at Thomastown. No sign of the -11 °C in the synops at least.

The 00Z Hirlam has slightly increased the coverage of snow by midnight tonight but this is as far east as it takes it before it fizzles out and becomes more confined to NE Ulster. By morning it's rain all the way.

[mountain shadow]

Yes. Big downgrades on any snow chances this week. To much mixing out of the colder air.

[ForeverPomeroysnow]

Ah well we did alright, okay some of us last week, and we still have alot of snow lying around here. Hopefully the rest of you get something more the next time round.

[ForeverPomeroysnow]

-8 in Katesbridge, I would imagine that other areas with snow cover and no cloud could have been lower?

[stormforce 10]

equally the second coldest night of the winter here, -5.1c at 06:00hrs. recorded -5.1c on the 28th december 2014. severe hard frost out.

[sundog]

Severe frost here this morning,lowest min was -4.2c ,my coldest night ive recorded so far this winter and coldest jan night since jan 2011.

Current temp -3.3c.

[somofagun]

Was in Eskra this morning and the car was reading -7 and it felt it

[Weegaz]

MetO have weather warning for NI for snow and ice for tonight and into tomorrow.

MetO have weather warning for NI for snow and ice for tonight and into tomorrow.

Yes, but it was last updated yesterday. Don't be surprised to see it removed later (maybe stay in place for the west of NI as the BBC forecast this morning was showing rain for eastern parts).
