Anyone any idea about road conditions tonight? Might have to drive from Sligo to Clare soon. Is there ice?

Good advice Oscar. Already encountered a few patches of black ice just outside of town and very dense fog patches. Watch out for more of this on the roads this evening and night guys and take your time if you are out driving.

Currently 1C in Galway city and the temperature is continuing to fall under clearing skies with icy patches forming on the wet roads. Just a light fog at the moment but its sure to become more dense as the night progresses. As DE said, take it easy on the roads tonight.

Wet evening here in Donegal ,stopped raining now and Im pretty sure its starting to freeze.
No fog yet though.

WolfeIRE

had an hour and a half of light to moderate rain here tonight. Temp was at 3c. dropping now that skies are clearing

Pangea

Heavy drops out there, think its sleet too.
Sometimes its hard to tell if its actually sleet, the drops tonight are quite thick like snow.

Hard frost here and no water.. Bitter cold and very still as light comes full

Very heavy frost overnight here in Cork. Was ice on car from 8pm. Still visible (16 hrs later). Where there were puddles there are sheets of ice in my garden. Must have been a good bit below freezing I am guessing. Impressive for early November......

Yes indeed, im surprised there's not more talk about it - perhaps we only got it in the South. Very very early for such a widespread severe frost.
It's past midday now and sheltered spots still have frost lying.
I dont remember such a frost so early in the year over the last 2 decades!

Does anyone know where ground temps stand at the moment ?
Are we below normal I wonder

snaps

Still only just above freezing here, light thin cloud cover and currently .9c.

Its actually dropped in the past 30 minutes, car has re frozen now the sun has passed it.

0.5c now????

Cold here in Donegal, I didnt notice any frost though perhaps I slept in too late, but defintley not as bad as it is down in Mayo etc.

Here in West Cork, every tree and blade of grass was snow white when light came today.. a beautiful sight. All outside water thick with ice. Warm sun all the day long.. and even a burst pipe here.... outside thankfully by the wee pump house. VERY impressive indeed.

It was really bad here, I was up until about 2 in the morning and had a look outside before I went to bed, everything was covered in that crystallised ice or whatever its called, cars were all white as well

Hasn't warmed up here all day, be surprised if it went above 3 degrees all day and its all foggy outside now so much be getting back towards freezing already

A dry sunny day in Castlebar.Mostly Calm.A few heavy shower clouds can be seen in the far West this evening.Turning cool again with a little Fog starting to form over fields/streams.2 Degrees atm.999.

Thats not that unusual???

Just back from a walk here in Donegal, there was a steady drizzle of sleet/ wet snow.
Defintely wasnt rain by the way it was falling.
Be interesting to see the hills in the morning.

Harps

Freezing cold here now, -3 according to the google, wouldnt be surprised if its even colder.

Really dense fog out now and everythings covered in a thick layer of frost again
