Don't worry - nothing in Stepaside. Snow on Three Rock from about 800ft upwards.

If that apartment block was 300ft high you might have got some snow on yer balcony. :cool:

The cars coming down from Glencullen are covered - so someone got lucky!

Got a text just now that its snowing in Newbridge.

The solar panels on the roof were hopping the past 2 weeks. Lots of free hot water, plenty of jobs getting done in the garden in t-shirts and shorts.

Complete opposite now with the fire going full belt and everybody back in warm clothes. I stuck my nose out yesterday evening to get some more wood in and the effect of the wind on the cold was something else.

Very glad that I resisted the temptation to plant out some veg.

And to think that herself suggested having a bbq last week !!!!

A few showers about to hit the north Dublin coast now. Should be wintry (hail/sleet/graupel) in nature given the low DPs

WIZE

Harps

Looks like winter's finally arrived if the 0Z ECMWF is anything to go by, mostly cold and windy weather for the next 10 days with an easterly setting in

Another freezing cold and miserable day here, wintry showers every now and again but lying snow confined above 500m

Hello Neighbour

Lucreto

Just a light skiff of snow this morning in Naas.

So are we heading back to normal temperatures for next week?

I want to plan my wardrobe for next week. I put my gloves away for the winter and I had to find them again.:D

So will I need my coat or shorts next week.:D

GARDAI needed the assistance of mountain rescue teams to rescue two men in Wicklow’s Sally Gap this morning.
Rescuers said the young men had attempted to negotiate the notorious route in a small hatchback car. The rescue took place at 4am.

OK.

Which of you clowns drove to Sally Gap at 4am?

I know it was one of you boards snow-bunnies - nobody else in their right mind would do that

Larbre34

Intermittent falls of 'precip' here in D15, somewhere between hail and graupel. Seems to be a shower track setting up on the NE'ly from IOM towards Nth Dublin. Just been out with the bins and its horribly cold
