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

just missed it, keep popping the head out the window every so often to see if any more falls

SO EXCITED!!!! white stuff has been seen falling from the sky here in the past 2 minutes!!!! gave one final look out the window when heading to bed, all fired up now again!!! there may be snow after all! It's a wonderful life

P.S the white stuff is microscopic snowflakes, no settling, could stop any second but don't care I am happy!!!

How can you even consider going to bed when it's going to snow? I'm going to be up all night I'd say, alternating looking out my front door with watching this thread!!

I FAWKING LOVES SNOW!!!

per met eireann earlier its not till later in the night that the organised front of showers spread south so hopefully!

Latest radar. Plenty of showers going to spread south overnight. Just how far south is the question

LOL, I was heading there in disappointment, but now will prob hang out for another while, then to bed, but up around 6.30am to check on cm's!!! will spend time productively designing snowmen!!! :D:D:D

(nothing falling since last post, but fingers (stapled) crossed that they were just a brief advertisement to say YES, there will be snow, near you soon!! Because when its gone, its gone!! x x Harvey

Well I saw a first tonight - Snow falkes falling heavily in Bray Harbour ! yep never ever seen that....

& then the deck in the scout house froze over - always too mild for that in the harbour....

Absolute bitter with the wind down there

Great snow up Letterkenny direction. Big flakes and its lying too.Though I live up a mountain and we always get snow when the town dosent!

Going by radar return, looks like precipitation is picking up alot as front moves across Kerry. It will be interesting to see if it gets cold enough, because Dingle peninsula could get plastered

Had a light dusting there in Enniskillen, roads are a death trap do watch out!! Frozen over here, making for very trechous driving conditions.

That rain today radar is very accurate over Enniskillen.
