    It is. Wexford might even get a flake going on radar. A shower also approaching Kildare town. That far inland they won't need big showers to have a dusting due to pretty much freezing conditions.

    Yes... It made a light snow shower at about 10pm in Northeast county Galway. Then it turned to sleet, and then to rain....

    You should get something pretty soon given the Southeasterly track of the precipitation.

    I am pretty sure he would, since it seems odd that snow is being reported when temp is 4.0c at the station with a Td of 2.0c. Similar to a report from the same station earlier this morning as well when snow was reported under similar readings. Only explanation I can give is that any snow was very brief and occurred during an intense downdraft or something. (with a high gust of 49kts this is a possibility) so I doubt any snow observed lasted any more than a few seconds if at all.

    I don't think anyone is in a position to disregard any met station. Snow has been reported at sea level. Simple fact as far as i'm concerned.

    I am sure he will be equally interested in the report from Harps aswell.

    Wouldn't bet on it. Thought I'd check outside one last time and the current hail shower has covered the driveway and my car. Who knows what's in store!

    I am not disregarding the observation at all, just trying to give an explanation as I just think it is odd that snow (recent snow on actual report) was reported under such readings.

    Down draught is probably the most likely explanation as you said.

    Thermometer is showing -2 outside here (just out of Waterford city towards kilmeaden), not a cloud in the sky though.

    This is about the UK the last two winters, but it really is a very interesting watch - http://www.channel4.com/programmes/britains-big-freeze/4od

    Finner Camp reporting a 45kt gust, a temp of 4c but a lower Td of 0.3c, and reporting rain. Odd.

    Currently 5.0C, dew point of 2.8C in Cork city. Doesn't look too good right now, but there's always hope.
    Should be heading to the gym at around 6:30am, so I'll report back around then.
    G'night all!

    EDIT: Valentia tephigram showing uppers around -4/5C for midnight.

    Depends on intensity of the shower aswell. Maybe just a light shower without a down draught. It is very windy off the west coast. Near gale force wind in fact.
