    Anyone think it will be snowing tomorrow, I've to drive from Mayo to Wicklow tomorrow.. wondering what the conditions will be like.

    Unless the road takes you over 1000 ft at some stage imo you should be ok , any lying hail/snow on low ground wont last too long after sunrise, + road temps are still quite high , then again those wicklow lads are a greedy lot :pac:, wouldn't surprise me if they were still hoarding some since the last time :D

    Good to see the first report of snow. Hopefully the showers get well inland.

    Put a weather pointer to my head and i would call this as a connacht/ ulster event , an odd light shower in west munster and dry for the rest .
    so there......:cool:

    nah it's not. it's currently clear now, but the temperature is above freezing and with the wet ground i'm not confident of seeing snow cover here either.

    Temperature is 3.4C so it's not going to stick here either - still nice to watch it falling though:D

    Strong winds also roaring now.

    Hibernation time:)

    Light sleet and snow now. :) Wasn't really expecting this. Not sticking but nice to see. Caught glimpse of white Dublin Mountains between showers.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 6,466 ✭✭✭Lumi


    There was a spectacular hail shower here at 04.15AM - set off all of the car & house alarms and followed by heavy snow showers.
    Its all melted now apart from in a few sheltered corners in the gardern. Current temp 3.2C.


  • Registered Users Posts: 4,329 ✭✭✭arctictree


    Heavy snow here. +2.5c. Not sticking yet. Mountains will be covered after this one.


  • Registered Users Posts: 2,671 ✭✭✭Darwin


    Light covering of snow here this morning...very ominous looking sky on the horizon right now moving in a westerly direction.


  • Registered Users Posts: 5,565 ✭✭✭Pangea


    Yeah just a covering of hail here! Very bad night , Im afraid the sneachta stayed away.
    Doesnt like there will be any tonight either.


  • Registered Users Posts: 823 ✭✭✭kakee


    snowing heavy in tipp town right now


  • Registered Users Posts: 16,851 ✭✭✭✭nacho libre


    very heavy snow here now. unforunately none of it is sticking, though.

    I woud have awoke to a nice covering if it had snowed like this last night.


  • Registered Users Posts: 15,431 ✭✭✭✭Supercell


    Moderate snow here, not sticking thankfully.
