    Indeed, if we had just one village at 1000M, it would have near constant snow this winter.

    You mean you haven't?

    Bit more to the SE. The far right edge maybe. Centre of the pic would be around Mallow I guess.

    Middle would be Killarney, SE of my location, about 20miles straight line.

    Ah that would explain a lot! Generally when you get above 500ft asl, weather changes quite a lot say from sleet at sea level to snow at that height and above.
    This is especially true when several miles inland too.
    I presume you are adjacent to even higher ground or mountains? That also helps a lot especially when you have the height that you have aswell.

    So what generates the text reports? And what use are they if you can't believe them?

    Computer generated and to answer 2nd Q, no use!
    IMO it would be much better if they didn't report. A bad report is much worse than no report.
    BTW, this is all my own opinion as I've no inside info/proof whether they are computer generated, but the amount of rediculous text reports from the automated (A) stations that I see makes it plainly obvious to me.
