There has been no snow here, none thats stuck anyhow. I drove to Drogheda this morning and the far side of Collon from here (Monasterboice? Where Lavin Park is anyways) was treacherous, but in and around Ardee is fine.

edit : still snowing lightly here, is sticking to car bonnets and wooden fencing, but that's it.

Thanks Embee wonder what its like this morning. My car has still at least 3 inches of snow on it but the grass is starting to peek up through the snow. I have to head from Drogheda to Ardee this morning!!!
Looks like it didnt snow here during the night.

Feckin crappy paultry recession snow, can't even do *that* properly. All but gone in Dundrum and Dame St. Bloody joke of a country this.

Snow in Waterford is gone. The dumping we hoped for last night didnt happen. I've run out of vegetable cuppa soup, and the government want 7% more of my wages as and from this morning.


I want to go home and go back to bed.

Dunlavin, (South-West Wicklow - close to Kilcullen, for those who've never heard of the place) got absolutely dumped with snow last night. Still getting light snow right now. I'd say about 12 inches over the past 12 hours.

Will post photos in a while.

snow bucketting down in Wicklow

on the meteireann radar seems to be a quiet a heavy load on the radar in the midlands..is there heavy snow in Tiperary area?

Rain fest in Skerries overnight. Things never really recovered once the main precip arrived and just got worse. I woke up at 5:45 and had a look out and no snow to be seen and then I checked the WS console to see a temp of 3C and a DP of 2C so no surprise really. Sadly yesterday is actually looking like the better day in all this!

Dry now in Arklow.
Dewpoint has gone above zero as the wind off the sea has picked up.
Should rain here soon but maybe stay as snow out in Wicklow.

I am so PI**ED! My 'faith' didn't work! A light covering of snow on the rooftops and a little on the ground......:(

Hailing now in Dame St. Very very dark overhead.

snowfest in Rathdrum again, snowed in at the moment. Cant get out of my house. ahh well

There was a slight sprinkling of snow last night over Cork's southern suburbs (Douglas, Ballinlough, Mahon, Blackrock, Rochestown, Donneybrook etc) Enough to leave a bit of snow on sheltered areas and on the tops of cars and high ground.
From what I gather, a serious 'snow day' in Cork is about as likely as aliens touching down in a UFO on the Grand Parade.

It's cold and somewhat overcast with what look like snow-laden clouds though, so I'm sure we're going to have a few more sprinklings, even if none of it stays on the ground.

West Wicklow seems to have gotten everyone else's snow.

Totally snowed in here - roads absolutely impassable.

Bucketing down snow here at the moment, roads are very dangerous.

Cork City has a bit of a weirdly mild microclimate due to the topgraphy sheltering it from northerly winds and the huge harbour acting a bit like a giant hot water bottle. Once you get away from the harbour area, it becomes a lot more frost prone.

Rather more amusingly though, the airport (built on a hill to give the planes a head start) manages to be the only place in the entire city that's regularly fog bound!

Does anyone have any idea when the last time there was a major snow event in Cork City was ? There must be some record of one in the last century or so?
