Light hail, snow and localized thunder/lightning in Bayside D13. Whee, just what we need to chill the ground a bit.

Heavy hail shower now in Rathfarnham..ffs..Where is all th snow gone??!! Clouds very dark still though...:)

Mothman

I had 1cm lying this morning with a thaw but this shower of big flakes, heavy at times has mostly settled and added about 1cm. I'm one mile from sea, and one mile further inland has seen much more settle from the overnight showers.

0.9/0.1C

BBC weather shows promising snow for Ireland.

did you not get a dusting last night Chicken? Snowed here for about 20 mins and topped up things. Was about 4am or so

Hmm. There doesn't seem to be anything on the met's rainfall radar behind the current two 'clumps'. Gotta feeling it might die out here shortly...

Thunder followed by huge heavy hail:D:D:D:D

Can hear a faint rumbling here in Malahide, most of the car patches covered again but not fully. Bit dissapointed!

It's been a mixture of heavy sleet/snow and hail so far but I'd say the temp is well above 0 because it's dissapearing from the car and drive already.

Rumbles of thunder in north Dublin.

i thought i was hearing something rumbling, i'm in dundrum though so not hearing anything big yet. we're having heaving hail/snow at the moment. lots of heavy snow about an hour ago, but i hope more is on the way

unfortunately i'm on the couch in my PJs with a big box of tissues, nursing what i'm hoping isn't swine flu after some friends of mine caught it! so there won't be any playing in the snow for me today

didn't look any different this morning, so no I don't think so.... just another heavy frost.

I think what we are getting at the moment is an outlying spiral from the system in the Channel, rather than just Irish Sea generated stuff. Once those lumps pass I think it will quieten down.
