When did it start? Snowing out here in Kill since I got up 20 mins ago. As you said not a lot on the ground, hopefully it will turn into last Jan and snow for a good few hrs.

Since about half six. Looks like heavier precip is making its way southwestwards now. Hope the temps stay low.

Nice covering here in the snowy south east :pac:.
Only about 20m asl and 50m from the sea also.

Good morning weather watchers, or is it...?

Well, its cloudy, cold with a very ligh frost here in West Limerick.

Not the promising sort of cloud either, fairly low level murky stuff.

Oh well, in reality I know there isn't a snowball in hells' chance of the white stuff but since I was teased with a proper snow shower yesterday evening the little boy in me has been hopeful.

Wife thinks I'm nuts, as another poster described looking out the window every two minutes and wearing out the F5 key :rolleyes: The Met Eireann Rainfall RADAR never looked so interesting yet depressing :rolleyes:
