Light snow now again in d15..

Not sure if it's pure snow or not..but definitely not hail or graupel in there anyway.

Ah FFS my DP is now up to 1c here. I'll be lucky to hold onto the white stuff on the ground already at this rate!

Left Naas at six. Arrived in Blackrock at 7:45. In the thick of the snowfall. It was fine after the Tallaght exit..

Edit: That journey is usually 50 mins less.

Snow is coming to cork, Snow is coming to Cork WOOHOO! Sorry i'm ever so slightly excited at the prospect of a winter wonderland when i wake up in the morning - i'd better not be disappointed!:D

Starting to snow here now

CarList.ie

Some light snow has just begun falling in Milltown

Scubadevils

Can't believe this could be over before it ever really got started! Oh where oh where did it all go wrong I ask?!

Looks like a miserable bitter wet sleety windy night for east coasts.

How far from the coast would be a safe bet for more snow tonight do you reckon?

The snow here in d15 looks very fine-grained, powdery at the minute.

Is there any way to say for sure if this is main-band stuff, or..?

Snow completly bypassed Athboy, Trim made it onto 6-1 news cos of the snow. Cars were passing through Athboy with 4 inches of snow on the roofs and bonnets while the street was bone dry:mad:

i'll believe it when i see it...have a bad feeling about it reaching us!

ninebeanrows

Met probably updated that because theyre is 10cm+ lying already in places.

Beginning to snow/graupel heavier here now.

DarkJager

Its bitterly cold here in Limerick, but I can't really see it being cold enough for snow

danni2

Im about 70 miles inland from the east, so do I stand a good chance for snow when the precip arrives here?

Snoddy

Don't think Dundalk will get any at all. We had a few fleeting moments of sleety snow earlier this afternoon. Just a light sprinkle that's all I want. It's just cold and gusty here.

jaffa20

Stopped snowing again. It needs to last for hours for it to land properly. Hope the main band comes by 10.

ninebeanrows

Can see this giving something inland alright.

Passes in heavy sheets of graupel/snow and then breaks for a few mins. So for here = wet mess. Inland could = Snow accumulating.

COME ON MUNSTERLEGEND HAVE FAITH!! From watching Sky News - the heaviest showers for munster look like they're gonna happen between 6am and 12pm - i always find they are fairly accurate. I'm telling you I will be having a serious rant on this thread tomorrow if it doesnt happen!:D

LookingFor

Some more pics just in case the snow goes bye-bye





It's literally like someone's tapping icing sugar down right now though..very light fine powdery stuff.

Dunno why this isn't lying with your Weathercheck..i'm in d15, closer to the coast.

darkman2

No graupel here - just snow atm supprisingly. Edit yeah actually there is graupel. Certainly will be fully snow inland though.
