Sounded like hail five minutes ago on the window here in Malahide but when I looked out, bone dry. Bah humbug.

Yeah, was expecting to have to deice the car this morning, but in Swords it was wet at 2C - it even felt warmer than some of the mornings earlier this month!

Some shower activity showing up off the east coast, but not yielding anything here in Sandyford

- 3c in Dromahair this morning! Hard frost You can bet it was a slow drive in this morning

Sligo town centre is around 1c at the moment. Have to go to Enniskillen this afternoon, there was some mention yesterday that, that end of the country could see snow by late afternoon, anyone any ideas about that this morning?

Thanks

This could be the case - by what they are saying on met eireann the widespread snow is to come Monday/Tuesday..:D Wow i'm getting to be an expert on this weather lark!

Pleasently surprised shower activity still going in Irish sea

Currently snowing very lightly here.

Model output this morning has us in really cold until 24th of December, after that models diverge on the outcome.

this snow event on saturday evening looks more like a northern part of the country event. is it likely to spread south at all per the charts?

The light rises but the temp falls, -3.1c here now
