about 20mins ago had a slight bit of sleet and a tinkle of snow and some hailstones , by the look of the clouds in the sky we might be in for some more.

I am currently in Sandyford Dublin 18

TBH - I was disappointed that we didn't get some snow here last night. I mean it was a cold easterly in early January!

Just looked at the GFS and there is another snow risk for Tuesday night, especially in the North East, not sure if any will make it here.

Also, a frost day for some tomorrow??

is the weather broken?:mad:

I was always told an east wind at this time of year would put the fear of God into ya! :pac::pac:

Like Roche's Point and other ME stations, the NRA stations are automatic, so don't believe the text reports.
Apart from frost, there was no precipitation in Clonmel this morning

I meant to ask, seeing as it was automatic, how it could determine that there was snow on the ground (presumably it's a guess based on temp), or rain for that matter.

Well I think the chances of snow is gone now, looks like staying dry but cold for the next few days with severe night frost, by the weekend it's a return to mild atlantic weather.

hopefully we'll see a few flakes in February, so far this winter has been just as crap as others so far in terms of snow but at least we've had some really cold temperatures and frosts rather than 4 continuous months of mild wet muck like we see other years. So far this winter ive yet to see a single flake of snow (altho it did snow at my location end of October when I was away).

Shame really I hate the Atlantic Weather.

Heard on Morning Ireland there this morning on my way into college that this winter has been one of the coldest winters in a decade. I have to agree that it has been very cold, and especially tonight as they predict the temp could plummet to -6C. Pity about the snow, but as far as frost is concerned, we have had frost nearly every night now since the end of November. The last time I can remember a lot of frost was probably back in 2001. I hope though that we do get some of the white stuff before January runs out as February will pose a lesser chance of us getting any.

I suggest some sleet/snow possible towards tomorrow 6am along the east and northeast.

This falling after the coldest night for years.

Going to get down to -5c in Dublin Airport tonight.

I could be wrong but I think this is the most frost ive seen in a winter since 1991, that year also the last real proper prolonged snowfall we had. We've had about 25 nights of frost over the past 6 weeks and about 4 ice days. However Ive yet to see the insides of our windows ice up from the cold, havent seen that since the 80s.

Not sure of the exact temps here last night, but some lakes nearby froze solid overnight and remained frozen today.

The last time that happened was in the early 90's!
