Dreadful out there.

Raging gales and sheets of icy rain flying in from the east.

If only they were sheets of snow. All we need is 2c decline!

dont think were gonna get that 2c drop imo.......its to stay between 1 and 4/5c dependin on where you are overnight ...way to high for proper snow,maybe some very wet stuff but thats just glorified rain;)

ninebeanrows

Down to 2c/2c in Dublin Airport Now.

Rain definately icy here now when it hits the window but wouldnt class it as sleet yet.

Supercell

0.9 DP 0.4 , its getting there. Its gonna be awesome shortly/eventually

Mr.Boots

Temp is dropping slowly
Maybe another 2 hours and we will be where we need to be

Supercell

Snow level probably down to about 250 metres or lower around here now...and creeping downwards...

Mr.Boots

We have SLEEEEEEETTTTT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Aughrim co. wicklow

Villain

Temp rising again I think that short drop earlier was just a teaser, clould be midnight before things get down to where we want them now although it will just be wet snow falling on wet ground so apart from lamp post watching all it will do is add to what will freeze tomorrow night

Mr.Boots

We have SNNNNNOOOOOOWWWWWW

Full on blizzard a little north of you, i reckon we are gonna wake up to a winter wonderland!

Snow in East Galway, very wet for it to stick but if it keeps up like this it will. Temps falling back too.

rc28

Absolutely atrocious conditions. 2 trees down and other branches too. The icy rain pounding the windows all day is turning more to snow now. Lots of flooding unfortunately so any snow probably won't stick

Supercell

Snow settling on grass now, hope it continues.
AT whats it like with you?

Mr.Boots

My mental age has just regressed (it always does during snow):D

roryc1

Looks like that low is moving off to the west, at last

howlinwolf

yeah even if it does snow its sooo wet in most places that it will be long gone by the mornin,i think the real threat of snow will come in the next few days as the temp starts to drop ....only question now is where will it fall

What's up over there? It's back to snow now in Wellpark . Well, still mixed with rain, but huge flakes and great intensity!

Mr.Boots

Back to sleet now...this is like Ciara Knightly showing just a nipple.

Wicklow seems to be now in the trailing edge of the precip from the system.

I have a reply but this is a family forum

Plenty of flooding out there

danni2

Sleet has finally turned to snow here, the ground is soaked so I don't expect anything to stick but nice to see it snowing:D

DOCARCH

Very stubborn here at 2.4c DP 2.2c but good to see temp at Dublin AP dropping. Still icy rain pelting the windows.

You in the north county Dublin area? i was out around the same time and it was horrible - Sheets of icy rain is a bit of an understatment. :eek:

you're all mad. You should know we never get exciting weather in Ireland. Some snow showers in the Dublin hills and north west and the whole country goes crazy. I just cycled home in the worst weather i've ever experienced. Torrential rain and f**king full on east wind in my face. It teases us with snow on the hills and we all think it will come and it never does. Like in May or June when you all start wetting yourselves in here thinking it will be a long hot summer, what do we get? A few days of 23c outside (everyone thinks it's 28 or so because it hits that for a few seconds in Kilkenny), followed by revenge of the weather gods, i.e. record breaking rainfall in July and August. How dare we enjoy a few days summer like.
Anyway forget about it. There wont be snow in Dublin or Africa this Christmas.
