Fully wet snow now blowing in the wind and the flakes are settling on the car bonnet.
I can see clear skies to the east.
The wind is howling.
dp is exactly 0c and the temp is dropping 2.9c now

Trogdor

temp 3.6C dp 0.8C. I'm sick of hearing the rain lash the windows, I'm going to bed. Hopefully I'll wake up to a surprise but I'm doubtful:rolleyes:
Although my alarm is set for 3:30 just in case:p

If one was to stay up in the hope of something, how late should one stay up? Memories of the last three winters setting alarms to look out at a wet road :rolleyes:

Shower activity inland is dieing out now along the trough. Still alot of cloud though and that means temps wont drop too low tonight. That means higher temps tomorrow:(

nacho libre

Definately some lower level structure to that comman with some convection obscuring our view of it.

Sleet here now.

Water vapour imagery does show dry air being sucked into the comma, indicating a definate feature.

Jaysus, gone fierce quiet in here! No one getting any snow?

Think things have died down for the moment as most are getting rain. Everyone has gone to bed as well I think seeing as it's a school night! Working from home at present so I'm in no hurry and I'll porbably put in another hour or so anyway.

Yeah, guess I had better be calling it a night too (damn college!)

3.2c here now and a DP of 1.2c, the temp has risen, perhaps that mild muck infront of the cold front has finally reached me, defo wont be getting anything snowy though with temps like that! Wind still from a WNW'ly direction.

fozzle

*sighs* Stupid amount of hail here on and off all afternoon/evening/night, with some serious gusts of wind. I think my half-full wheelie bin took off across the yard earlier. Was well over an inch of hail lying on the ground about 2 hours ago, but after sitting for about 30 minutes it melted pretty quick.

There was me thinking moving up from east Waterford to Sligo would get me snow....


*crosses fingers in hope for the morrow*

Ah feck this for a game of soldiers...off to my leaba, not being sucked into an all-nighter for nowt again! Not even setting my alarm this time!!!

Good luck to all those in the 'favourable areas'

Arctic air my bollix. Was in Galway City all evening where showers were of rain. Took a detour home via Tuam, Claremorris then back to North Galway. Sleet in Tuam. Rain and Hail in Claremorris, And rain here. Temp in the car never fell below 3c, even in Claremorris. It was 4c in Tuam and Galway. Temp here now as I got in is 3.1c. Pressure is 999.1 mb rising slowly. The air feels cold, but is that another rain shower I hear outside?

What an anti-climax.

Edit, temp now 3.2c, so in other words, its rising.

Temp 2.1c Dry since approx 5pm.
