Melting here too, was nice to see it , and a great sign of things to come imho.
All we need is some precip once the proper cold air starts coming south and it'll get interesting

Anyhow heres the first snow I've seen since March 2005..

My Skoda is smiling..

Showers don't seem to be breaking up as much as i thought they would as they cross the country, it looks to me like this next band is actually intensifiying

I'm having a really heavy shower here now, mostly rain, maybe the obb bit of sleet , pity it wasnt snow as it'd give a nice covering :rolleyes:

squonk

I'm in Skerries. We had some heavy rain here earlier this evening. Haven't seen any of the white stuff yet but I'm delighted to see some of you guys have already. Tomorrow may be interesting! I'm keeping the fingers crossed!

I live there, though I was driving home from Dublin at the time and the sleet/snow was worst at Gormanston to the north of Balbriggan. I was hoping the higher ground would help but I only came home to wet ground and rain, not even sleet, petering out. I missed the interesting weather!!:(

I didn't see any accident, though it was probably about a mile further north from me, where the motorway is highest.

Wet sleet and rain this morning in showers.

4.2c

arctictree

Bright, windy here, +3.0 c.

Nice covering of snow on the mountains - down to 500M I'd say.

Lug is shrouded in cloud and snow fields are peaking out from under the clouds. Must be mad up there!

Lets see how today goes!
