Significant snow Thursday Night/Friday/Saturday

rc28

Bigger snowflakes at last, 1.7c after 7.4c a couple of hours ago.
The ground is totally waterlogged and there's loads of surface water though, icy roads tonight.

squonk

Still heavy rain here so far. Can still feel the temps dropping though. Very cool stuff!

ninebeanrows

Big black clouds approaching from the west and very gusty just light rain atm.

Scubadevils

Wow, this is a surprise! Only rain here alright but amazing drop in temp in such a short space of time. Got very dark here just now too and feels much colder.

Kippure

Sundog from netweather is on the road from ashbourne , heavy sleet now falling in that area

rc28

It was full snow for 1 minute and now it's wet sleet again, maybe even rain.
1.4c

slainte13

Heavy Sleet

ninebeanrows

I hope that aint it! skies look brighter after that minute long burst of sleet!

squonk

Very heavy rain. Possibly a little bit of sleet mixed in.

Supercell

Rain almost completly died off now and temp at 5.4 steady. Looks like its not going to happen here.
Pressure stating to rise too, the front has passed.

ninebeanrows

The front has largely eased in intensity and become thinner

rc28

Light rain here with the odd small snowflake.

silverski

So is that the end of it

ninebeanrows

Yep looks like the wuest took all the juice out of her! Oh well!

Weather BOFH

Temp down to 2.0C now and heavy snow here for around 5 minutes or so, but it has now pretty much stopped, just a very light drizzle, brighter now to the west too.

Scubadevils

Talk about being kicked while we're down! Ah well...

ninebeanrows

If anyones looking for abit of hope grabbing, there is a decent cluster of showers out off the west coast, doubt its cold enough for snow though..

The front seems to be moving nearly SSW on the radar. No real temp drop here yet, has fallen from 8.8C to 7.8C in the last 40 mins.
EDIT: Just as I posted it started to plummet, now 6.6C

CM21

Wow Where did that come from. Heavy rain turned to snow in blessington and theres now a light covering on grass and cars.:eek:

squonk

Temp seems to have dropped gradually here as opposed to the 20 minute drop that was posted earlier. Still just getting a bit of light rain out of the whole thing now. Think that's me done anyway for the moment.

Trogdor

5.8C now. I reckon I might just get a bit more rain/sleet as it more comes up from the South

Mobhi1

Dropped from over 7C to 3.0C now in about the last half hour or so. Although it seems to be stuck on 3 now. Haven't noticed any snow though.

arctictree

I think the cold weather is just arriving here now. Longfield is at 4.2c, I'm at 5.6c and Mothman is at 6.4c. Lets see how this changes in the next hour...

Temp seems to have leveled off at exactly 5.0C here. I think that may be it for here

patneve

2 deg at Dublin airport and 1 deg at Casement....why am I at 5 deg?

Mobhi1

Looks like that's the end of precipitation for Dublin and Wicklow according to the radar. Extends a good bit further west north of Dublin and south of Wicklow but seems to have died off in between!

Takeshi_Kovacs

Just had a wet sleet shower here, and now it is breaking into a very nice blue sky. Looks like kerry1960 got another light dusting of snow again from it.

JanuarySnowstor

Well it's all down to those showers off the west coast now
Imo we have a decent chance of a widespread snow event tonight
As always it may not happen and is very marginal but a definate chance

Of course there is a chance of winning the lotto too:D
