Snow and forecasts.

Yeah it was snowing nicely with some light hail too in UCD around 3pm when I was there.
I caught another light snow shower here when I got back.
Thats the beauty of a -5c dp!

Snowbie

Recorded a dewpoint low of -5.7c and low RH41% which are both record lows for my station.
Currently dp -4.5c

Edit:My max air temp today was 7.7c and low dp(-5.7c) where recorded at the same time thats a dewpoint depreciation of 13c which is a huge temperature difference or extreme.

Some nice showers heading down the Irish sea on the Radar - seem to be just missing us!!

Not a bad winter overall in my book.
8 Days with snow falling
5 Days with snow lying with >=1CM @09:00AM

Wouldn't be surprised to have a few more days with snow showers this winter/spring, but lying snow is unlikely till next winter.

Did you count this event in that?

1 (In Jan) + 3 (8th Feb) + 1 (yesterday) = 5

Had some snow lying here at 9am on Sunday - probably about 1cm

The air flow straight down from a completely snow covered lugnaquilla got my DP down to a min of -6.7c and the RH was as low as 38%

This time last year in the cold snap with the wind also off lugnaquilla, we had dp's here of -8 and -9c iirc and RH's in the low 30's so not as good today but near.That was the day of the snow storm moving down from the NW that gave ye all a little covering including WC iirc.

Heres todays and yesterdays stats for here anyhow.

Yep, pretty much exact same but was Monday I had roughly 1CM lying at 9AM, I had to leave a little late for work (was working unfortunately!!) as the roads were pretty messy here until about 09:30 by which time the sun had done its job, was a nice last hurrah though.
You're a little higher up than me so maybe you got an extra day?

Showers dying a death in the Irish sea, more than likely thats our lot until next winter. That said I haven't had snow like this winter since the 90's so cannot complain at all

Going to be v cold tonight, dry still air = pretty low temps, reckon -2.5°C is a fair guess

I have to double-check everything but I have 3 days of snow >1 cm at 9AM and 4 days of >1cm lying at any time. I think there was 5 or 6 days of any sort of falling snow this season.
