Snow and other wintry precip

SNOW ON CROAGH PATRICK

Right outside my window. Am not sure how long it has been there; we noticed it at 17:00. My weather widget has been telling me that Belmullet is 4°C for most of the afternoon. (I'm on the south side of Clew Bay and figure that Belmullet is the best weather station to use as Castlebar is quite inland.)

*starts to think about holly*

Snow for the west? Although with rain on either side and min temps above zero it looks like it won't be hanging around. Nice excuse to leave work early though

Just noticed that the foreccast symbol on my vantage pro 2 has changed to a snowflake with clouds:D

The Yahoo Weather widget shows a snow icon for Belmullet too.

The Sheffry Hills were capped with snow all day

Expect to see some snow in areas above 400meters tonight with accumlation possible in these areas as showers and more prolonged spells of precip spread in from the west. Maybe some sleet to 200m comes dawn.

I am a little excited, reckon some flakes are possible here by morning but dont expect any settling stuff, should be interesting though.

The UKMO has issued a warning for snow for NI associated with a cold front passng through tonight.

Hmmm,maybe knows something i dont know:D

Knock only 2C atm and hail. A little ominous here I feel.

Trogdor

are the showers supposed to push across the country or just fizzle out as the move across, as that's what they seem to be doing atm.

darkman2

There will be a spell of rain in the early hours for a time.

darkman2

Prolonged activty coming into the west. This will effect most parts, turning to snow in places, notably over Ulster and higher ground further south.

Mine doesn't
rain and cloud symbol.
5.2c - DP 3.2c

certainly no chance of snow to low levels in Dublin.

Temps are sitting at 6c with a dewpoint of 3c

The Dub mtns may get something nonethless.

If you hit 2c and a DP of 0/-1c - Then u may have some hope

There is a bigger possibilty for wintry precipitation during Saturday across Ireland as truly cold air comes across the country with maxima of just 2c in some areas and a good bit of precip around:)

6am
Birr temp 1C, having had 1.1mm of precipitation during previous hour.
No visual report, but I think the odds are it justifies being in this thread.

On radio this morning,it was snowing in Navan.

Plenty of snow all along the Croagh Patrick range, from Ben Goram in the west to Devil's Mother in the east. Weather widget says 1°C in Belmullet. I took photos of the Reek, if anyone is interested.

sirpsycho

darkman2

Temp had risen to 4.6c has dropped back to 4.2c and feels bitter in the wind.
Cant see showers making this far east but never know in this strong wind.
