SNOW here - BLANCH

HEAVY AND VERY DARK

Gonzo · 31-01-2008 3:44pm

stoping now already, it started to stick but sun out again, these showers move along very fast.

squonk · 31-01-2008 3:45pm

Got very dark here and some precip just pased to the west of me very close by. Looked like we had rain here for the few drops. Hard to tell if the other precip was sleet or rain.

LookingFor · 31-01-2008 3:46pm

In south blanch here..there was a shower a couple of hours ago (hail), now clouding over again something fierce..dark clouds to my north.

update - now there's precip..looks like sleet to me at the moment.

lol, and a fierce wind to boot..managed to blow my window closed.

squonk · 31-01-2008 3:47pm

Update: It's come back! Sleet/Snow falling now! Yes!!!!!

kerry1960 · 31-01-2008 3:47pm

Woah... all hell just broke loose here in Blanch. W00T!!!

*EDIT* gone again

squonk · 31-01-2008 3:50pm

Got about 1 minute or a 90 seconds of snow there. Turned back into rain or light sleet then. Heavy enough shower but it's pushed off now. Promising however.

Trogdor · 31-01-2008 3:57pm

Was a heavy sleet shower in Booterstwon earlier around 1:00, I tihnk it fell as rain here though.
Temp currently 5.8C, dp -0.7C. seems to be a shower approaching from the North-West atm. It'd want ot be very heavy for snow though

darkman2 · 31-01-2008 3:59pm

lol I think we all got the exact same shower there - rain the snow (heavy) then sleet.

LookingFor · 31-01-2008 4:00pm

Thought the blanch shower was stopping because visibility had improved..but it's picked up again. Sleeting away, very poor visibility, dark.

edit - sheets of rain/whatever coming down now.

edit 2 - now a lot more snowy again. Heh. Seems to change ever minute!

peasant · 31-01-2008 4:07pm

There's a heavy sleet/hail shower almost every half hour here in Sligo ...and then the sun comes out again and it's all gone.
Still too warm for anything sticking. Wind still very strong as well.

Slaanesh · 31-01-2008 4:07pm

Blanch back to clear blue skies. Probably another black cloud on the way though.

Badabing · 31-01-2008 4:10pm

Okay after having a good luck around i believe that things are more progressed than first thought.

I would expect the occlusion to move into Ulster around 10pm tonight and to reach Dublin by 5am in the morning.

Lots of snow here in West Wicklow

smashey · 31-01-2008 4:31pm

No sign of any snow here in Letterkenny. We had a few hail showers and it is very cold. The streets are drying rapidly here.

Is this a good sign?

Trogdor · 31-01-2008 4:34pm

Proper fine powdery stuff here now temp has fallen to 3.4C dp 0.1C

Aye same here - the sun is out and everywhere seems to be drying up. I suppose it allows the snow to settle later.:D

squonk · 31-01-2008 4:39pm

Same here also. The ground stayed wet for a while but now it's blue skies, sun and rapidly ddrying ground. Seems to be cloud to my south though. Anyone getting snow around Swords, the Airport, Glasnevin, that general area?

Trogdor · 31-01-2008 4:43pm

Skies just cleared here, temp at 2.9C, dp stayed steady at 0.1C. The ground is soaked here but the hills just a few miles West have gone white
