Fierce Cold Spell from Sunday (February 1st)

Gonzo

The snow shields still have a strong grip in Dunshaughlin, showers going north, south, east and west of me, about 90 seconds of snow so far today, skies alot more threatening now so hopefully something decent will finally come and last longer than 2 minutes.

It started snowing in East Limerick county around 20 mins ago - although it has died down at the moment.

Looks like it's starting here again too - most consistent cloud cover all day and wind is picking up - yup, just as I type, it's starting.

DM you seem to be just a couple of minutes ahead of me in what you're seeing

Met Eireann are forecasting snow for much of the country tonight.

Snow showers in Leinster and Ulster will spread to many other parts of the country tonight. More persistent snow is likely to develop in eastern areas before morning. Fresh to strong, northerly winds generally, with penetrating frost in most places. Lowest temperatures 0 to -3 degrees Celsius.

And also tomorrow.

Don’t get too disappointed yet, I find SkyNews to be pretty reliable.

I really hope so!!

Coming down nicely in Blanchardstown now, looks like it's starting to stick.

I was going to do overtime tonight til about 8 but am wondering if the roads will be a bit dangerous by then??

Bog Butter

Isn't it going to turn to sleet and rain tomorrow?

Heavyish stopped now still clouds to east.

We need more heavy snow to keep this on the floor.

Sticking to Grass, roofs.

Nice shower now in d15, and sticking. We should have seen the last of sunlight too, so hopefully this will be a good foundation for any more overnight.

Alot of snow has fallen here in the last half hour - stuck to grass, rooves, soil, patios etc. It's still going and nearly has a grip on the roads. And just as it finishes here comes another shower:D

Finally snowing in Cork! Small flakes but powdery and sticking.

patneve

Moderate snow in D15 now, actually sticking to grass and paths which I'm surprised at, thought they were much too wet from the earlier hail then sun.

Edit: Massive flakes here, and heavy. Wooohoooo!!!

Can't believe how quickly it's building up. Everywhere has a covering of white now. Decent flakes this time as well.

Not lasting long enough to stick properly but temporary stickages!

Don't worry trogdor, those streamers seem to be moving south slowly, so if your north or south of one you'll have one one over you again for a while again.
That is before the main event kicks off around 23:00 then all bets are off.

Villain

Watch those roads if anyone is heading to Carlow

darkman2

WC you see that streamer just to the north of you? - that's what im in. Fantastic snow. Bit of hail at times but in a way it's helping it to settle. And it is settling.......
