2 hours just for 20 miles this morning. Roadworks,traffic, glaring sun, deadlines.
But a nice frosty, healthy morning though.:)

EDIT. Sorry Snowbie, I edited your post by mistake as I thought I pressed quote button again. This takes getting used to. :o

Crisp cold, the frost is disapearing the moment the sun hits it.

heh,I used do that a lot

Meanwhile..Very frosty here still.
I'll get my aws back working today hopefully,it's getting an overhaul.

I'd imagine by the thickness of the ice out there that there was a sub zero air temp last night.

Thats 0.5 or half a mile not 1 to 2 miles, but on the plus side the Garda operation go flow/no flow/no go or whatever they call it is in operation around here:rolleyes:

0.5C atm

Pipes have frozen. The temperature is still only 0.7C. It's hard to believe that despite it being so cold the rain will not be preceded by sleet or snow in some parts of the east and north.

Two main problems that I see, no decent subzero cold pool in the midlands to chill this down, and front moving too fast to cool enough before it reaches us.
Its going to be close but no cigar unfortunately.

Do I detect reverse psychology there? You will see a couple of hours snow at your location tonight,I'm certain of it-bar a significant warm pool appears from nowhere.

Meanwhile here... I've got my aws back working again so refresh the imagefor the 5 minute updates.

Well I always did expect a couple of hours snow here, was half hoping that it would be like the October 29th snow and the temp would continue to fall and somehow it would stay as snow until it passed.
The dew point is just weird and even though the temp is risin, in decent precip that should fall back again for a while hmm
Temp now 1.9°C

ninebeanrows

Snowbie is at 3.5c/-1.3c

Dublin Airport is better with 2c/-2c

I'm somewhere inbetween, 8 miles east of Dublin Airport.
