As the newly nominated thread correspondent I bring bad tidings

The dreaded "drip drip" has set in here already, snow stopped about an hour and a half ago and thawing already

The news might be better to take if I was on video with a mental hat :pac:

When the cloud clears the temperature will dip sharply over the snow fields to -6/-7c

Nothing in Cork City yet! Hope to awake to a blanket of white.

Any chance, you think?

All over here in Rush.
On a positive note, my satellite signal is back to full strength.

So what's the next few days meant to be like in Dublin? More snow, freezing conditions etc.?

Have a football match in North Dublin tomorrow at 12 o'clock. Will the snow have melted by then or is it to get colder? Cheers.

1.5cm of snow here and still snowing, roads are very slippy as a lot have not been gritted round my way, Dundalk - Carrick road is very bad.

NufcNavan

About 2cms of snow here in Navan.

zenno

well you were right "weathercheck" loads of snow has fallen here in swords. plenty more to come i'm sure.

Sierra Oscar

Seems to be a slight thaw on here! Just went outside, and could hear water falling from the trees!:(

Gonzo

thaw on here too, snow falling off side of car and dripping from trees, i'd say once the sun comes out tomorrow it'll be gone in a matter of hours.

zenno

the snow should stick as the temperature will keep dropping over night. i just watched the weather on rte recorded from 9:30 and they say it is unusual that the jetstream from the last few months is way down south instead of where it should be up near ireland. is this a naturally occuring thing for the jetstream to be so far south ?

zenno

gugsy

Heavy fog -3C.

snaps

very thick freezing fog here in mayo too, -3.7c.

Looks like that Atlantic front has pushed much closer over night. A lot of shower clouds off the Ulster coast as well.

Congratulations to those of you who got snow. Unfortunately not a flake fell here. In fact looking at the radar last night I think met got it all wrong. It was supposed to to be heaviest in the south and south east but it all went north to you guys. I suspect waterford and wexford - which were the shoe ins - got none either. As this was the forecast right up to last night it just shows its completely a nowcast situation all week.

TheFairy

Any thing on the cards for the country today?

Couple of inches here.

Not a bit in Galway city.

Fog very heavy though.

Anyone any news on Galway city - Limerick road conditions?

Yeh about 1-2 cm of snow fell here as well yesterday evening. There was a bit of a thaw when it stopped snowing, but it got colder, and now there is freezing fog, so its still there for now.

Is this atlantic front expected to arrive in the next few hours ? I guess all we can expect from it is rain, and some more rain..

MammyNotSpammy

Almost all gone now

Ricky91t

Got abit of snow here in North Kerry too!

Maybe an Inch max,Fell about 8pm lastnight,Had been snowing/sleeting for alot of the day but didn't stay!

Rapidly thawing here....

well after seeing the largest snow flakes ive ever seen in my life,I jumped out off bed like a child this morning to go out and play,only to draw the curtains and to my absolute horror its gone!!!!!!!!!
cant believe it after an hour of rainy sleety rubbish,the heavens opened and the snow pelted down for roughly one hour,it dumped 2.5cm in that hour(can you imagine what it would have been like if it kept on for a few hours)
hard to believe it really did snow....did it? or did my cans of Guinness and my childish love of snow make me see snow :rolleyes:
oh well that's the Irish weather for you,bitterly disappointed i didn't get to make my traditional snow man


on another note this week is looking very marginal for sea level snow,away from the northern part of Ireland.
