Got a similar gust here Nacho is that last shower, certainly impressive. Hail as well, got a right pasting holding up my little wind speed measurer outside just now. 5.7c.

Wertz

Intense, blustery/sleety shower in Dundalk right now...lasting a good while too.

Paddy.1

A squall just passed through again. Clouds look tornadic. Visability much reduced in hail. 4.9c. 980.0 mb and rising rapidly. Some impressive looking Cb's out west.

As I write, rainbow just appeared!!

Supercell

Dew points rising in showers here, sub zero before and above zero by the end (that will change later though), very frustraiting!
Mountains will be white by morning I think.

nacho libre

978 hpa. currently between squalls
i'll be disappointed if we don't get a gust or two of 70 mph out of this during the night.

Snowbie

Gust to 36mph so each shower that moves through the gust is a little bit higher from downdrafts.

Otherwise just a moderate breeze blowing.
981.4mb rising
Air 4.3c falling
Dp 1.6 steady.
Wind westerly

Snow shower here now, must remember to take camera with me driving into work tomorrow, mountains gonna be covered nicely .
Try looking at the radar sequence on the Met Eireann site - the showers are really rocketing across the country!

Snowbie

You can expect more with those upper winds whipping them across to you. Should be a covering there for you later.

Supercell

Maybe about 150 metres up from here it will, dont think it'll drop much below 2°C here tonight so unlikely to settle, it is beautiful to look up shining my 1 million candle torch up into the sky

Good to hear that!! So we've had quite a few days with snow falling this year - just havn't had the conditions to settle. BTW - I'm in Germay today (Frankfurt). Drizzle here with a temp of about 8c.

Pics or it didnt happen or get a halogen search light out in the yard so we can see some rare mountain snow from Annamoe on your webcam:p

Sleet here
Air 3.4c
Dp 0.3c
981.5mb
Gust 36mph

Supercell

Lol, just a slushy mess on top of my car roof is all thats left here, wouldnt have to go much higher for proper coverage i'd bet.
I'm keeping my eye on the sat loop, looks like there may be more substantial stuff later that may well give a covering to lower levels.
Best snow I've seen all winter though, 3.6mm/hr = pretty decent snowfall

nacho libre

recorded a couple gusts of 70 mph over the last 90 minutes. the showers have completely died out, though. Which is a pity.

Snowbie

Temp rising now at 4.4c
Dp falling at 0c
Clear

Some belt of Precip marching across the country also.

you will probably get some real winds later snowbie as the low tightens gradient over the east; the winds here are strong and sustained, but not earth shattering, I expected better to be honest.

nacho libre
