Yip just arrived, more or less the same as Wednesday. They would be safer just running it from Wed right through to Sat like Met Eireann have.

It could be temp wise, don't think we'll see country wide snow? Didn't the cold in 2010 last about 5-6 weeks?

You done well getting in during the event in 2010 when you think how high mullusk is. I travel via train to work so will take few ft to get few days off ?

I know that Weegaz, but the way some of them get on they think it's nailed on. I hope it is I need few days off work ?

Love seeing people talk about snow charts as the holy gospel near a week away ??

Update from irish weather online ADVANCE ALERT -- A spell of severe winter weather is now considered very likely starting around Sunday 25th and lasting perhaps a week or longer. Details are of course sketchy but the depth of cold air apparently heading west towards Ireland would suggest that temperatures could be well below freezing, and that snowfall is a strong possibility in the east, south and perhaps coastal areas of north and west as well, and we are seeing some charts on the most reliable models that are real jaw-droppers for snowfall potential, so be aware and check for updates, there is still a slight chance of a less intense outcome but with all global models marching in lock-step towards this scenario, confidence is growing. The overall situation is that the very mild air mass from the past two days has been pushed east of Ireland now by a slowly developing high pressure area, but some of that milder air will get trapped between this weak cold air mass and the advancing Siberian very cold air, and will be returned to sender (the Atlantic) later this week. FURTHER OUTLOOK calls for this wintry spell to continue with the European model showing potential for a heavy snowfall around 1-2 March, stay tuned as these details could change, but in any event, it appears likely that the cold spell will get one or two reinforcements from the east, with only limited amounts of warming between the coldest spells. If it does snow heavily in some areas and then clears, temperatures could drop well below -8 C over snow in clear skies. The overall effects of this spell could be quite disruptive to travel. (The chances appear to be at least 70 per cent that some form of wintry weather will occur, whether it lasts as long as some guidance suggests might be more like 40 per cent probable).

Just what the MetO said above 150m like yourself. Getting a good dusting here now, starting to settle too.

Nothing here this morning just ice, though looking at the run from 7 this morning the showers seem to have died just before reaching here. Radar looks good now for some strong showers.

Turning back to rain here now.

Finally for you ??

Still coming down here, lying well on cars and grass. Radar showing it as rain.

Snowing heavy here now

Unbelievable rain here for the last 90mins or so, floods all over the place.

Could be few snowed in days this week if it works out the way the MetO are saying it's going.

Polar Vortex - Snow for everyone by the end of February.

Few flurries here, nothing worth talking about. Tho when it frezzes over it'll be slippy in the morning.

It will freeze over once it clears, that was included in the MetO warning.

Funny this pic came up on my Facebook memories today from this day 2013. Certainly feels alot colder today for snow than it did few weeks back when we only got light dusting which quickly melted away.

Though it does say for northern Northern Ireland, then goes on to say hit and miss.The MetO loves to confused things. 2nd lowest level on their matrix which does't leave much hope.

Update on Storm Ophelia. Issued 2pm Monday October 16th 16 October 2017 Storm Ophelia which gave violent and destructive winds over Munster and south Leinster this morning will extend rapidly to the rest of the country this afternoon. It will continue to bring further gusts of 120 and 150 km/h (some gusts are likely to exceed these values in exposed hilly and coastal areas). Some flooding expected also, due to either heavy thundery downpours and or storm surges in coastal areas. There is a danger to life and property. The strongest winds are on the eastern and southern flank of Ophelia’s low pressure centre. The heaviest rain is on the northwestern and western flank. To the east of the path of the storm centre winds will back southeasterly ahead of its passage north, veering southwesterly behind it. Winds will be cyclonic along the Atlantic Seaboard. Strongest gusts to date: - 191km/h at Fastnet Rock (6.5km SW of Cape Clear Co. Cork, at a height of 200ft) - 156km/h at Roches Point - 135km/h at Sherkin Island (before the weather station lost power) - 126km/h at Cork Airport (before a loss of power) - 122km/h at Shannon Airport Rainfall: - 17mm at Valentia, including 9mm in one hour - 17mm at Mace Head, including 8mm in the past hour Keep up to date with Met Eireann for the latest information
