Haven't seen any precipitation in Dublin city centre at all today.

Had a light but proper snow shower here around 9am this morning, lasted about 5/10minutes but that's all (so far :rolleyes:).

There's another shower cloud now to the north of me - that must be near enough to the city centre?

I see that showers in the Irish Sea (over IOM) are moving south west wards - could be interesting??? Actually probably not looking at 16.00 radar!

Current temp. here +2.4c with dp of -0.7c

You could keep an eye on the Galway webcam

heavy snow shower in Limerick city, sticking in sheltered areas only though, we are in for another shower in the next ten to fifteen minutes

front lawn @11.30am.......''now whats this funny colour''

Heavy snow shower here again. Any snow that did lie earlier is gone, so I wouldn't consider this current shower a top up or anything.

clear sky now. i think the showers, if there are any, will be scattered from now on. damn you ridge of high pressure. damn you to hell.

Here here. The last snow shower here just evaportated into nothing, Sky clearing now. Temp 0.8c and pressure 1009.8mb. Hope we at least get a good frost tonight. But I can't see my 2008 record of -6.3 being broken, here in the west anyway. Midlands and east might do better.

A brief flurry of snow here at the moment!

Some monster clouds going over north kerry at the mo, darkest of the day. Wonder where they are heading

Saruman

Very heavy snow in slogo from just before noon. I left in the afternoon driving to Mullingar area. Was still pretty heavy snow when i got home to Rochfortbridge but it stopped shortlyafter.

Sierra Oscar

Snow falling where I am at the moment, Murroe Co Limerick.

Paddy.1

Temps just now reached 0.0c. Lowest it has been in a while. Sky almost clear now, though I can still see shower clouds over west Galway and the Mayo mountains.

Snow shower at Casement at 0C - that should stick although I'd imagine it probably didn't amount to very much - can't see it on any radar!

Donegal to silgo a bit of snow today. But from sligo to athlone via carrick on shannon...holy lord! Very heavy snow from about noon onwards.

What a terrible cold snap, about as bad anyone could have expected.

Downgraded to almost nothing...

And the medium term outlooks is dreadful

Sorry folks

nacho libre

it's snowing lightly again and it's sticking now because of the frost beforehand!!

Aye it looks like the Stacks mts got a nice bit of snow. A lot of snow fell during the day in Tralee as well, but none stuck, ground is way too wet. I'd say there must be some amount of snow dumped on the Dingle peninsula as well, Baurtregaum, and the rest of Slieve Mish were covered in cloud nearly all day.

tralee and surrounding area must be one of the warmest place in winter in a very mild county.......the last time snow was lying in town i,d say was 1996........anyway speaking of mild current o.1c......todays snow will be just a memory by sat pm.......and i dont expect to see another snowflake down here for 3 more years.....

every flake that falls is sticking now- however, the showers, when they come, break up quickly.

-3 at the moment.

Pics or it didnt happen!

Some really good conditions now in the west for snow. Temps around 0 and showers peppering the western sea board. Just a matter of luck now if you live in that area.

Just saw the RTE forecast. I'm tempted to predict a hour of snow as that front arrives tomorrow afternoon but its just at the wrong time - ie warmest part of the day...

yep ur right it'll be a wee bit too warm:mad: if only we had a similar situation to the 4th january (precipitation arriving in the morning) then all areas would be hammered for a few hours, but alas, the precipitation will arrive when most areas are at 5, 6 degrees Celsius:( Damn it I wanted a white six nations opener
