Ireland Regional Weather Discussion

Snow Still laying here with treacherous black ice in places.

Not expecting disruptive snow tomorrow but a few heavy showers would be good.

Will likely be the last of the white stuff until after Christmas so enjoy it if you get it.

Well we can’t complain to be fair. BBC mentioned disruption so who knows.

Not getting any hopes up. The slider drama really drained me. Every county around us saw snow falling at some stage, we had rain, sleet for about 5 minutes then rain again. Dropping the missus to work this morning wiping the ice off the windscreen, then looking up at the snow in the Dublin mountains as I headed into town... So flipping frustrating. I'm staying away from the MOD thread and meteociel too for a few days. 

Looks like you might see some tomorrow albeit short-lived affair, however ,  based on some of the experts in the MOD thread, we have a better chance of an Easterly in next few weeks and months than is previous number of years.. Dublin is usually in the sweet spot for east wind snowfall so hopefully your time will come for proper snow

Give me an easterly any day of the week

Ice warning issued by metO so they musn’t be concerned about any accumulations of snow this evening and into tomorrow.

i would say the grounds to wet anyway due to the thaw and the heavy showers pushing through.

[booferking]

Disruption snow not getting much of a mention in video forecast compared to last night just ice so maybe milder dew points in the mix earlier but lets see what happens.

Currently 2.6c & 0.9 Dew point here

[ronan]

Where can i check dew points etc for my area? 

[Sperrin]

The back edge of the last shower that passed through loughmacrory was snow. I think higher ground might get some half decent action.

Thats the colder dew points pushing in after that band of showers you can see it on the temp and dew map in my opinion your getting pasted the night again.

Sounds good, it's very wet now though. I'm in Lisburn now at work but it was snowing proper when I left home at 11am, nice white flakes going through Dungannon too.

Yea last shower here was snow but i dont think it will be cold enough to get proper laying snow away from high ground as per weather forecast.

[Longtimelurker]

Met office warning when read in full mentions 1-2cm of snow locally below 200m. 2-5cm above. Met Éireann have a rain warning along with their snow warning for 30-50mm of rain. Imagine the snow depth on the mountains after that 

[Weegaz]

Some heavy precipitation pushing in now from the west, turning to snow over Donegal.

Dew points down slightly also

[Juuyoku]

It has been showing snow in my location on the radar for the past fourty five minutes and there hasn't been a flake. It's not even raining!

[Longtimelurker]

Shower started off as rain here 20 minutes ago. Waited for 2 minutes and no change. Just looked out the place is pure white and snowing very heavy. I'm 40m asl donegal

Photos please

Sleet here now 

 

Edit - now it's snowing but the ground is probably too wet for it to lie.

[booferking]

This was from the fall earlier but melting rather quick once stopped.
