Yep , very wet i'd say , trying to settle on the car roof and not succeeding much yet. Seems to be a mixture of snow and small hail(graupel?).

That house at 380 metres is surely seeing the good stuff now !

God I'm frozen, keep running out and in with my torch hehe

I may arrive with some interesing news in the next few minutes..

Remember that that sub -40c 500hpa air is to our north, the flow is deeply unstable, we must try and be positive as the situation will change very quickly!

Heavy sleet here now 2.0c but the flakes are very wet. Hopefully we'll see something better later tonight/by dawn. Given that this organised band of showers came out of nowhere, who's to say we won't get another surprise later?

OK - Just looking at the radar, what we are experiencing now is nothing compared to what is on the way. The heavy stuff seems to be hitting NW Dublin. Temp down slightly to 1.7c

Light snow now in Annamoe

Send it south.
Remember the thunder I sent up to you during the "summer".

Fair exchange is no robbery.

2.5c here
dp -0.9c

The 10pm radar seems to be picking up "more intensive" precip out west compared to the 930pm - I remember hearing that the radar can "overdo" snowfall? Could it be turning to snow there?

Rain starting here now. Reasonably heavy.

Supercell

Temp falling now and snow getting heavier.

Okay godammit im just gonna say it, i have spotted an interesting cloud formation to the NW of Scotland:o

Comma shape

Danno

Pity MetE do not have a radar in the NW, say Belmullet. You can see nothing off the Donegal coast. Are them radars dear kit?

admiralofthefleet

Dew point up to -1.1°C ..this could turn back to rain ...hope not.

Danno, you need the cursor to be in a text field first, otherwise you are not sending text commands to the puter.

Well whatever it is if it brings snow we all could be happy!:cool:

Ground is soaking wet here now-might inhibit any snow from sticking later. Sleet is pretty heavy still.

ninebeanrows

Probably nothing

Supercell

Almost stopped now, hope that wasn't it!

Drag00n79

Just rain and hail in Ballina.

Danno

2.6c here now, wind has gotten up... hope this is the mild sector before the precip arrives, and that mild sector has gone when it does arrive!

Supercell
