When it reaches my part of country, keep an eye on Longfield's station c8 miles to my west and my station. There'll be a few minutes when the cold front will be between us.

Darwin

Was raining/hail for about 20 minutes here, then almost as if someone hit a switch it's started to snow! Edit: spoke too soon, now turned back to sleet

colmranger

Thanks for the text Mothman, I was tucked away in my nice warm leaba listening to the howling wind and lahing rain outside until now.

Danno

Wet snow/heavy sleet - temps dropping like a stone - 0.5c drop from 2.0c in 10 minutes!
WOW - We were not expecting this!

rc28

Heavy rain is here now, temp has quickly dropped from 7.4c to 6c

I am completely disappointed.

Since Thursday we have had NO snow at all, well 2 minutes worth. Kilkenny City outskirts north is drowning at the moment in pouring rain. :mad:

Danno

Pelting it down now - transition from rain to snow takes 20 minutes
look at them showers on the west coast right behind the front too!

Speaking on MSN to folks in Johnstown, Co. Kilkenny - pelting snow there too - so it's on the way to you lad.

Well, if it does there's no way it'll settle, we're surrounded by swimming pools of rain.

PS. Just got back from under 6 hurling. My boy scored four goals.

Countryfile forecast for the week ahead on BBC1 very soon now. Channel 141 on Sky.

Do you think you'd have forgiven us, if we didn't get you out of your beauty sleep.

I was going to start a thread for this cold front, but reckoned that most of us are keeping an eye on this thread.

I think I may even see snow here.

Danno

Heck - 11am reports. Birr 1c, Kilkenny 8c. Thats some difference.

Supercell

I just texted Snowbie the joyous news, evil, moi ?

Danno

Back to sleet now at 1.4c - There must be some right mixing of air mass going on overhead.

Supercell

I asume the boundary is that gap on the radar between precipitation areas. So the rain should die off then should be a rapid drop in temps, then the fun begins.
Rain dying off here now...current temp 6.6°C, DP 5.0°C

rc28

the break in the rain you can see on the radar has reached here, still 6c
The next spell of rain looks pretty thin and stations west of birr are reporting rain. Am i likely to see any snow?

Briefly

Back to 1.5c and heavy snow again. Ground is far too wet for settling.

i cant comment on dew point/wind strength etc but im happy with acc of my temp readings,have a mid range weather station backed up by 2 sensor tech digital display therms , curr 3.1c with sleety rain, i'd say any snow for ye in the east will be fairly wet and short lived.

hawkwing

sleet here,grass kind of white but stopped now,south tipp,2c in car

Kippure

Current tempeture 8.5c As the front passes through it will drop off like a stone.

Heavy sleet in Monasterevin now... if only it was a few degrees colder the place would be covered in no time.
