Still no snow here in south east Dublin

Yes, very dramatic. It was to be expected but still spectacular when seen like I can see it now. Thundersnow or graupel - that's the question. Usually thunder = hail in these situations but we shall see.

Continuous thunder and lightening here in Newcastle Co. Wicklow, snow has eased off a bit, roughly 1-2cm of snow settled on the cars here

murrayp4

Plenty of lightning in D8

Interesting mix of fast falling hail and drifting snow falling in Dublin 18 right now. Lots lightening, but too much cloud cover to see it properly.

It's such a toss up, I want to see the lightening, but the cloud cover is providing the snow...

Definate thunderstorm cell headed here.

snowww

DominoDub

I see some fresh stuff bubbling up in the Irish Sea beside Holyhead ..but that main band over Scot / North England is breaking up .

Finally, some flakes in D18, very light and sparse so far though, can only see them within a few feet of streetlights

Bray is absolutely snowed in, cars being abandoned, hardly got out of it myself. 20mph down the M50 from Bray to Dundrum, not a tap of snow after that.

Loads of thunder and lightning. Have some pics will upload tomorrow.

Getting very cloudy here in Waterford Hopefully a nice sprinkling of snow to follow though.

You can keep your thunder and lightning - horrible stuff

wild handlin

Hi Everyone,

Well, after over a weeks absence old wild handlin is back!!

Currently snowing lightly here nr. Enniskillen, was pretty heavy snow from around 20.00 - 21.00 which left about 3cms on the ground.

Looking at the radar we are in line for more showers; infact that system which was over Scotland/N England is heading towards us!!:D

I'll try and keep you all updated with the weather conditions over the next few days

Yes!

ninebeanrows

wow blinding flash of lightning there big roar, close by.

Real streamer into Bray/ DunLaoghaire such representations on the radar would suggest really intense falls of hail and snow.

Expect some decent accums near 6 inches.

Harps

Crazy increase in the wind here, its been dead calm all night and literally in the space of a few minutes its gotten to gale force. Thought it was thunder when I heard the first gust but looked out and its as if we're in the middle of a storm

Certainly here it hasn't been nearly as heavy as it looks on the radar actually, but it has been constant light-moderate i'd say most of the time. Probably heaviest so far right now, proper powdery snow.

Looking out my attic window into the sky and the clouds are just that bit too far south!!!

alentejo

In all my 38 years of existence, i have never seen frost as well as thunder and lighting.cool

ffarrell7

Still nothing here in Blanch/Castleknock. Part of the sky very dark overhead but has been like that for past couple of hours. Maybe tomorrow if wind goes more easterly. Raining in parts of Kerry and sout-west England.

Konata

I'm in Sligo atm - doesn't seem to be much happening.

Is there a chance of us getting thunder/lightning? I really, really had thunder/lightning >_<

thomasj

Another massive flash in blanch

ollie1

I have never heard thunder so loud in my life sounds like bombs going off and the windows are proper rattling I love it

Weird, thunder and lightning in Dublin 16 but no precipitation.
