    Very heavy hail started at about 4.15 pm in Drogheda today. After about 5 or 10 minutes this turned to heavy rain, which kept up for 40 minutes. I was outside for all of it.:(

    There was no sign of snowflakes, though I wasn't at home so I couldn't tell if there was sleet or snow there. I do know that the car temperature was at 5 Celcius, 20 minutes after the rain ended so it was a close call between snow and rain.

    Best hail shower i've had in years grabbed a few shots on my phone.

    The shower was at such a way where you could look up deep into the
    sky and see the massive hail churning down from 100's of meters high
    as the low son shone on the storm.

    Hail about 1cm in diamater

    And a lovely rainbow to boot;) :D

    He's in Portmarnock, Snowbie. Baldoyle got the very edge og it. Howth was hammered and was left white following it. Left roads in a very ice state. Friend in Rush aslo said there was a good covering. Looks like this shower just hugged the coast.

    Snowline down to about 400ft this morning in Wicklow area. Sun already getting to work on it. Recorded nearly 3mm after midnight giving perhaps as much as an inch of snow up in the hill. Can see that the trees are white...

    There was a hail shower here around midnight last night that hugged the coast,it gave 0.3mm rainfall here and didnt go inland.
    Nothing on the nearby hills,though Lugnaquilla is now white from top to bottom from yesterday evenings showers.
    Previously it had only a patch on the very top.

    HI everyone. hope this isn't too much off topic. I've been lurking for a while, and have been enjoying and learning from the chat. BBC weather have an article about april's 1908 snowstorm at http://www.bbc.co.uk/weather/features/understanding/1908_snowstorm.shtml
    you might find it interesting.
