Turning cold with Frost/ Ice and some Snow (Thursday night/ Friday/ Saturday)

Gonzo

no chance of snow for most of us I'd say, that map of Europe showing snowlines looks depressingly bad just about everywhere throughout Europe, not just Ireland. There doesnt even seem to be much snow on the Alps or Eastern Europe which seems very odd. Snow looks confined to high ground even in scandinavia.

That image of snow covered Ireland is great. Wicklow and Dublin really took a blast of snow! Hopefully everybody gets some this time around

Harps

Temperature has actually risen 2C here again, back up to 4.5C now, dew point was -0.9C now up to 1.5C. Not a hope of any snow here tonight by the looks of it

Back to mostly rain now after hail and graupel for the past 90 minutes

faktisperminute

had a heavy snow shower for 5 min .

That chart only shows the fresh snowfall for the previous 6 hours, not the total snow cover.

Tv3 about to show the snow from last year!

Harps

Finally something resembling snow here, small and very wet flakes which is pretty much what we've had all week already but a start I suppose. Dew point back below 0C and temperature on the way down again

arctictree

It's snowing here. +2.0c. Looks like a rogue shower from the radar. Also, I'm at 250M.

It was still a very mild day today, with 12.5 °C at Valentia and Sherkin Island, and even 11.0 °C at Malin Head!

Mint Sauce

Could be fun going to work tomorrow evening and away for the weekend.

Please dont snow, please dont snow.

Set it up somewhere other than the weather forum, add the words 'No Snow' and it'll get post of the day!

Below was taken around Christmas Eve last year. Yes, Clare (and Waterford/South Tipp/Cork coastline) seem to be the only places that show green. Awful if you were a snowlover in those places :mad:

Should add that one into the album. Got married in that last year.

Temp Rises as moist air from cloud flys overhead thats why you have a large fluctuation in temp.

The temperature's been like a yo-yo here tonight, up and down every time a shower passes which is every 15 minutes or so. Hasn't dropped below 2.7C though so the best we've managed is some sleety snow & graupel. Hail has been impressive again but becoming a bit tiresome at this stage, don't think there's been a single day in the past two weeks where we haven't had hail!

It's wonderful...

so white.

It snowed here in north monaghan around 1. Then i woke up at 6 and it had been rainin, now the ground is covered again in snow. It shows how marginal the snow was for lower levels.

Conrach

Just started to snow 5 mintes ago. A heavy shower which is lying on the icy ground.

kingshankly

snowing here in south Armagh this half hour or so and starting to stick

Noopti

I remember last year sitting where I am now, looking out the office window at the streamers hitting Dublin. Ah memories.

Hopefully we get some of the white stuff soon...

Caitriona

Ah, streamers. Good times! I don't think I got any work done for weeks.

Just had a flurry of white cotton wool here, lovely fluffy stuff, but it stopped very quickly. Still, hopefully if anything else comes this way today it'll be the same!

sq_forever

Perfect snow showers here in west Cavan. Starting to accumulate. About time too!

Sulmac

Snow starting to accumulate just outside Omagh!

redsteveireland

Car frozen for the first morning this winter.

A little bit of drizzle blowing around in the wind, and low blinding sun make for interesting driving conditions.

Even if conditions were right down here, the showers are not strong enough to even make it this far, fizzling out as they pass Galway city.

Brazzer

Will we see snow in Dublin this year?

pauldry

light snow near geevagh

Iancar29

I speak on behalf of everyone that hasn't got any snow......

Boo!!!!!!

I want snow!! (stamps furiously and throws toys out of toybox).

Seriously though - I would like snow today, complete thaw in the morning so my flight to Vegas isn't delayed/cancelled, mild for the next week while I'm away so I'm not jealous and blizzard as soon as I get back.

Now, will someone please get a move on and sort that out for me!?!

Not much chance of anything significant this side of Xmas.
January appears to be the month to watch.

3.7C at the moment with sleet showers.
Snow covered different areas around here last night but no snow covering at me.
