    Heavy Rain here in Rathdrum, feels cold enough for snow though...

    Lashing rain in Dublin 2. From a lampost watch perspective it looks a bit sleety but that could just be my view as I haven't been out in it but perhaps someone else could confirm?

    moderate rain falling the past half hour, had another look and It's turned to sleet now, so heading in the right direction

    Raining in Trim too but it looks a little like it could turn to sleet/snow soon.

    When the band moves off eastwards it should push the mild air away with it.


  • Registered Users Posts: 2,015 ✭✭✭John.Icy


    Well, unfortunately GFS was spot on for myself, along with much of the East, and south east. It said rain, and I got rain. By this evening, as the band starts to slide into Wales, the colder uppers will spread into the east and there should be a period of heavy snow, whether it sticks or not, is another thing. :D:D

    Snowing and beginning to stick here.

    A hint of sleetyness in my part of Malahide which is a good sign. Need the conservatory roof to verify :D

    Yeah, I'm 7 miles west of the town on a bit of a hill. Still pelting down with heavy snow here.


  • Registered Users Posts: 365 ✭✭TFK


    It started raining here earlier, it looks kinda sleety now (I haven't been out in it, just going by the lamp post outside) I could be totally wrong though but it's too cold to go outside :)


  • Registered Users Posts: 53 ✭✭Samash


    snowing away here the last 45 mins. its sticking too- a nice covering on cars and the grass :D

    Moderate sleet with a few wet flakes falling now, just need the temps to drop a little further and then I should have snow:D

    Anything to take the emphasis away from Jean Byrnes dress the other night...

    Still rain falling here but its turning colder so still a chance it might turn to sleet or snow.

    your even getting my hopes:), aren't you usually on the slightly more conservative side with snow predictions?


  • Registered Users Posts: 605 ✭✭✭ffarrell7


    Temperature has dropped 1 degree in Dublin 15 (to 2.6 degrees) but it is still raining..no sleet yet although it will snow I would imagine in the next couple of hours.
