    There are ways. But we're not allowed to tell you. Google is your friend ;)

    It's ridiculous that people in Northern Ireland can't watch RTE online.

    The BBC block us, but two wrongs etc etc.

    Under normal clear sky conditions, the period around sunrise is usually the coldest time of the night.
    Snow is being reported at Cork Apt at 9pm. You seeing any Leahyl?

    Cork airport is a bit of a microclimate that is rarely indicative of what's going on in Cork City. There hasn't been anything other than drizzle in the city so far.

    She said there is a possibilty of a white christmas as this front encounters very cold air on Christmas morning. She showed HIRLAM showing the rainband heading for -4c overland. It will be brief, but what better could you ask for than to see snow on Christmas morn? :)

    I was just out and about in the Limerick suburbs - freezing hard again tonight! The snow that fell on Sunday is still lying on the ground as if it fell a few hours ago.

    Some of the roads in the estates in Castletroy are like ice rinks, deadly.

    RTE serve the nation and as such RTE is available in N Ireland. However:
    Residential BT Broadband customers in Northern Ireland cannot currently access RTÉ Player as residential BT Broadband customers have a variable IP address that changes every time you turn on and off the modem. This variable IP address incorrectly states that users in Northern Ireland are from England or Scotland. If you go to http://whatismyipaddress.com/ this will tell you what region it is incorrectly claiming you are from. Due to this fact the RTÉ servers are being told you are not in Northern Ireland and you are not granted access.

    The only way to get this changed is for customers to make official complaints to BT to get this changed. If you contact them they will originally tell you that it is not their problem despite the fact that it quite obviously is, however you can then ask to register a complaint. If enough people do this they will have to take action and make an arrangement with RTÉ to allow NI residents to access the RTÉ content.

    I can confirm that. The airport is a few hundred feet above the level of the city so it doesn't surprise me its snowing there. Theres a small amount of sleet in the rain at sea level.

    I'm just a few miles south of Cork airport and only slightly below it. I'm at 115m asl and the airport is around 140-150m asl.

    We are getting snow drizzle on and off all evening. Landing away but very light covering. Assume just at the snow line and the city is rain/sleet.

    Seeing as I've seen SFA snow so far, this afternoon I flew from Weston to the Mullingar area. I planned on going up to Leitrim etc but got delayed so Mullingar was as far as I could get.

    As I passed Kinnegad I found the landscape turn more and more white, with visually no thaw all day (this was at 2pm). It was amazing to see some small lakes frozen solid, and some larger ones starting to freeze around the edges.

    Below are some photos of Mullingar and Lough Owel areas (taken from 6,500 and 3,000ft)

    It hasn't snowed here but today everywhere was white with frost and it stayed like that for the whole day.

    Tonight it has rained lightly two or three times, the water on the ground froze within minutes, and now everything is coated with a dense layer of ice.

    I walked out to the road, and I could barely keep my footing on it. It would be practically impossible to drive on it without ending up in a ditch.

    The forecast earlier was something else, it said on the forecast on met eireann that christmas morning could be severe with snow in places!
    This weather has been magnificent, it was -5 earlier in the car temperture thing here in donegal! Cars are abandoned in places because the roads are so bad.
