Correction - I was watching closely and I see no raindrops - it is clear snow, but very small flakes and nothing stays on the ground because of the wind. But the feeling is there!!
Location: NE part of Galway.

Snowbie

3.9c an awful long way to go still. 1.5c is the maximum for seeing settleling snow.
dp-1c still good but rising.
Overcast.Not good for night time cooling but temps is still falling very very slowly.
Wind east 10mph-has yet to pick up,probably imminent.
Hum 71%-moisture now being detected in the air.
997.8hpa falling rapidly: bad weather approaching fast.

Hurray... the snow has reached south Mayo... my 4 year old is standing by the window wanting to go out to make a snowman...ummmm... she'll be awfully disappointed if there is no snow in the garden in the morning!

What do the powers that be here think of the chances of snow in Waterford city tonight? The BBC map shows us getting a whack of it around 9pm tonight.

Nice chart WC, I'm meant to be driving the old man to Finglas tomorrow moring at 9am, even with my AWD I think that might be a struggle!

Snowbiw should we start a new Thread with a warning in the title to reflect the warning MET are giving?

3.7c now.
Thats too high I think.

DP is also a bit high but ok at -1.5c

Dry but getting very dull

Edit Kilkenny is reporting sleet at 3c with a dp similar to mine

kleefarr

Kilkenny City outskirts.

Just had a very brief snow shower that lasted about 20 mins. Very small flakes. Nothing settled. Clouds look full and ready to drop more. Very cold.

Villain

Temps should fall once Darkness settles in though right?

That'll be the duff trough.. although the real stuff won't be too long.. round 9pm i reckon. maybe 8pm

darkman2

Casement down to 3C so we are seeing a general reduction in temperature.

Trotter

Getting dark in Waterford now.. still that pinky blue hue off the clouds though.. and boy are they dark. Its absolutely bitter cold outside too. Pity I dont have a little weather station..

Cheers Tristrame, the sleet is on the way

Bone dry here
Thats either precip thats not reaching the ground or just south of here.
Roslare is reporting rain despite a dew point of -3c though their temp is very high at 5c

Looks like a light band hitting south wicklow around now.

That looks really heavy accross Munster. Should be hitting me about 9/10pm.

I'd say we'll have some snow event here in Roundwood.

I'll be online for most of the evening and will report on events!!

Sorry for going more than 24hrs there,I promise the rest of that will be in the appropriate thread.

Meantime,its still dry here but precip is very very near,its going to be rain I'd say
