    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.

    Yep, Finner reported just trace while Belmullet reported 0.5mm.

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

    Nothing odd about that really :confused:

    The Belmullet observation sounds odd of course. But as has been mentioned already, probably due to downdraft for a short period of time.

    ****observer looks out window and notes snowfall .... writes "recent snow" in notepad and goes to PC to update observation**** .... meanwhile ... sensors send info automatically at either predetermined intervals or in some cases (wind) on average and updates the same database for that hour ..

    Or something, I'm not feeling eloquent right now :P

    Not odd in itself of course, just that Finner's readings at the time would have been more conducive for snow than Belmullet's readings.

    Oddity is a relative, rather than absolute concept in this case I think.

    I get what you mean by odd now DE :o

    the diff in the temp and "DP" (stop saying Td, it;s just gonna piss people off lol) with rain falling...

    well I suppose that explains belmullet too .. the atmophere is unstable below 850hpa and swirling on every axis?

    There seems to be a stream of showers heading for us Konman from the NW at the moment, any hope we have would be in them before morning. Temp is 1.8c here in town so fingers crossed.

    and also above! :)

    Edit: Just remembered that Finner is also a fully automated station so observation was not observed by human eyes (if that makes sense!)

    Temp was sort of yo yoing here all evening and still is within a very small degree, back up to 2.2c at the moment. I don't think the flat terrain of the landscape is helping us either as most of the snow reports seem to be from hillier areas. Anyway, just got very windy here again so another shower moving in. We may be luckier with this one.

    Wrong.

    Once you're sub -5 you've got one of the main ingredients for a delicious snow cake.

    The snow is falling where the 850hpa temperature is below -5 therefore all the ingredients in those areas are in place (just about). It is forecast to get colder again as the night goes on in your part of the country so you have a chance. Anyway those who see snow enjoy! Night.

    Well ok, if you put it like that, that makes more sense ;)

    Sorry, I couldn't help myself :o
    And seems like Su is writing the Mace Head observations :D

    Seriously though, I know they're both automatic stations, but "freezing drizzl", come on :P
