because mr warm front temporarily makes it too warm, high up in the atmosphere, for snow. we should hopefully see more snow if the colder air is successful in moving back in over the weekend.

You might get some in a few hours, some of it seems to be cutting off that way but might break up over land

Highlight of the night so far!

Heavy graupel in Dun Laoghaire, at last!

Pj!

I followed these sort of threads last year and can't remember the word 'graupel' ever being used.

It has to be the word of the day today on boards.

For all intents and purposes, its like very small, but light hail. Usually lands on the ground looking like tiny balls of styrofoam / polystyrene.

Nice moderate proper snow, perhaps a little close to melting though, in Dublin 2.
