Harps

No sooner had it started than it cleared up! No rain for the first time since around 11am

NAE giving potential for more snow later but time for bed I think

Just started snowing here in Cork City

A lot more sleet/wet snow on its way to Kerry, Cork, southern and western parts of Limerick, and possibly west Waterford.

Drove to work in the snow there with Christmas FM blaring....nice. Sticking to footpaths in places but generally melting. My estate had a thin layer of white everywhere when I left though.

Sounds like lots more wet snow for the day looking at forecasts.

Well done Cork!

I lived in the Cork City for a couple of years and never saw a flake of the stuff.

Once it stops, dig it up, put it in buckets and freeze it for next year.

Check out Ballyvourney cam in west Cork. It's snowing there. Lying snow also visible in Mitchelstown cam.

One good thing about this morning's snow in Cork, Cork people might now stop asking 'When are we going to get snow like?"

irish1967

sunbabe08
