YES YES YES YES !!!! FINALLY

Snow has reached Sligo - wind picked up and is coming down at a nice pace here's hoping for a good flurry of activity.

very fine, powdery stuff ...you'd want a long spell to get anything decent out of it ...but raintoday shows a few more showers coming down, so there might just be a nice result in the morning

Kerry, West Limerick, North Cork lads might be in for some snow in the next hr by the looks of the met.ie radar. Whatever snow I have seen here is coming your way pending you're not living on Costa Del Valentia

Snowing again here, not as much as before but heavier flakes if that makes sense.

Just started here in Collooney. Not very heavy but it will freeze. Hopefully some heavy showers later. 0.1 C

plein de force

really hoping for some lying snow but all we got was lashing rain and some hail this week
ground is soaking wet and the skies have cleared

maybe something will happen in the east but i'm not holding out hope:mad:

No rain (or snow even) yet though

Clearance gradually moving south with stations in top half of the country below freezing now.

It's trying very hard to snow here, at the Cork/Limerick border (near Charleville).
Very light flakes for the last 30mins or so!!

Fingers crossed that it'l get heavier overnight, would love to wake up to a blanket of white tomorrow morning.
