The Big Freeze ( Sunday 10th January )

GoneHome

It's bucketing down snow here in North Cork (between Mallow and Charleville) and has been for the past few hours, no traffic on road which is a very unusal site in itself.

Yea thats deadly stuff, you had the bonus of getting all that precip last night and it not thawing today at all (being that 30 miles inland)! Thats like what 6 inches? Looks cool.

We had 2/3 inches last night but now almost all gone

Just heard that the severe weather warning issued for today has been called off, any snow will be light and what was expected has missed us.

Ah well, back to normality!

Was in Cork yesterday and was supposed to come home today but because of the forecast I decided to come back last night

Kind of glad I did now

The forecast apparently is for this band to only slowly edge north and reach the border around midnight and intensify as it pushes north, but what is a forecast worth these days!

1458 An iceberg has been spotted 1km northwest of Arranmore Lighthouse in Co Donegal.
It is 40 years since an iceberg was last recorded off the Northwest coast.

The Curragh is epic , slight thaw going on , but there is hundreds on people up there , all sledging from the hills .

An amazing sight.

Temp 2.2

Well our snow (or whatever it turns out to be) is coming from that direction with the east wind so I suppose it is important - good to see it sub-zero)

Big flakes of snow falling in Ferrybank area of Waterford City. Lots of them too, a lot of heavy low clouds too, hurry up and drop temperature!

3 hours of good snow here. At least 2cm on the ground. Made a snowman for the kids at last. Best snow i have ever seen in Cork, since moving here in 1998.

At last, some semi decent snow, light/moderate fluffy stuff.
