Snow/sleet REPORTS - 23/11/2010 onwards

MayoForSam

Couple of heavy snow showers this afternoon in north-east county Galway, about half an inch or so fell. Very large flakes, the real thing. We've already had more than all of last winter around here

Driving home from Galway city earlier, only sleet for around 20 miles, then suddenly I hit a white out, made driving quiet difficult.

A few more showers tonight and if it freezes later on, the roads will be lethal.

Looks like a good start to "Snow Watch 2010/11"

Nice one, nothing like that here yet.

Just looked outside and everythings frozen here now, wasnt like that for the last shower half an hour ago and raintoday has a nice looking shower due any minute so hopefully this could be the one!

Edit: Sticking!!

Chicken Run

Irish thats a funny link ,I had a job finding my car in Letterkenny last year with the snow, it was a nightmare in the car park!

Snowing here now in Donegal Town... light but the nicest snow shower yet.

Pangea

Another shower here now ,seems to be more Graupel than snow though, still the place is turning white.

Harps

The last shower here was graupel for the first 5 minutes then changed to really heavy snow. The graupel sticks better so its a good base for the snow!

No shower here now in a while, still about half an hour away judging by raintoday and the stuff from the last one has melted again in places but its sticking in other places and the footpaths and roofs are all white. Hopfully gets the chance to freeze now with the clear skies

Hail here at sea level on the east coast. First bit of precip of the day

interesting, cos like i said i didnt see any and the roads were ok, must have missed it

no snow in Dunshaughlin so far and wont be for hours more. Clear Skies all around and very frosty.

The snow in Galway must have been heavy when it fell because the velux windows upstairs are completely covered but they clear 15 mins ago
