Rain has turned to sleet/Snow in Dublin 4, temp was 4.5deg when
I got up this morning, it has since dropped to 2.5deg now.

Same in D8, changing to snow. I'm not a meteorologist, but I'd guess the air moving in from the Irish Sea pushed some air ahead of it that had been warmed up by the sea (which should still be about 8 degrees or so), and that warmer air has now run out.

The weather is suffering from a personality disorder here today. It was thawing this morning, then it rained, then it snowed, then it rained again then it got windy and now it seems to be both raining and snowing!

Rain in Dublin City Centre has changed to snow now too, Is the rain that fell going to turn into ice now :eek: scary

Jesus, it's belting down again. Please someone tell me the end is in sight.

Got another 3 or 4" in Castledermot last night.
All my weekends work digging out the car was for nothing.
That spiral over Dublin could play havoc with today's weather.
Only slight thaw from roofs.

There is a good chance that any 'end' will only be a few days of milder weather. It's more likely than not that we could be in for another cold/snowy spell from about the middle of the month onwards.

laois gael

channaigh

IS THIS COMING BACK IN FROM THE EAST AGAIN???
