heavy snow in galway city, begining to stick

hawkwing · 29-12-2009 4:26pm

I'd say it's 90%snow 10% sleet coming down now in South Tipp,Slievenamon must be like Alpe D'Huez.Lisa Burke on sky said it would be turned to snow in Ireland by 1800 earlier today and i think she is correct.Not sticking yet but looks like it will shortly.:)

any chance of that band reaching ni for 12am because it is at the borders region already...

Gonzo · 29-12-2009 4:31pm

cold rain here, if its gonna snow here theres gonna have to be many hours of heavy snowfall before it will stick, everywhere here is saturated. The rain seems to be easing off now and becoming patchier over the East.
