Are you prepared for snow like we had a couple of years ago? Hope so. I'm always hopeful of a repeat of such weather:D

There I go not posting a pic!!! Oh well, best wait until we have snow on a widespread basis

Evidencia?

Great call from Su on the lack of cacks on our Abbeyfeale friend! He doesnt miss a trick

Although, if it were really snowing would anyone go to the door in their jocks? Could it be warm snow??

More than mega huge TBH.

What was that we were saying about knickers?

ch750536

That does look funny but I'm actually wearing black joggers as I was getting ready to go out for a walk but the weather changed my mind for me.

On other topics, has really warmed up now & sunshine is lovely.

Re: Cork Snow, nothing showing up on the radar

Heard this morning from a work colleague that her sister said it was snowing in Blarney this morning briefly - before turning to rain....but it still snowed:P

Think Mallow instead of Cork, Mallow is 25 miles away to the North

It did show sleety showers at about 08:35 mind....

It was snowing here 2 miles from mallow, unfortunately my photo isn't great- but it was snow, not sleet. Sun shine now

bkelaine

It was snowing here 2 miles from mallow, it was snow, not sleet. Sun shine now. Have pics but can't upload them for some reason

Showers will become more widespread as the day goes on. Some bands of showers now pushing into the west coast. Most will be of rain or hail. By the way, I have heard other reports from Mallow and they said it was a mix of hail, sleet, snow, rain, frogs. A comment just posted elsewhere from someone in Mallow: No snow in Mallow, plenty of frigging rain though

I was between home and Mallow this morning, we are living about 10km from town and it was just rain in the town but as I headed out home there was a very heavy shower of snow, big fluffy flakes which even stuck around until the sun appeared... couldn't take a picture as I was driving... the car temp gauge read 2 deg celsius.

I believe you. Sorry, wasn't doubting. I am just saying that it depends whereabouts you live in the Mallow region. The snowline was obviously 150m or less asl.

For what it's worth this was kilfinane (limerick) at 8.45am this morn

I think Dromahane at about 110m and as bkelaine reported they received a bit. What's Kilfinane about 200m?

Very isolated showers around, a local radio presenter said it was bucketing down on his way to the studio, I'm within three miles of him ~ absolutely sunshine all morning.

Only 150m ??? :eek: I thought we were relatively low at 180m.

One of those?

By the way, he/she would not be the only member of the Irish media to talk through their behind when it comes to exaggerating the weather. Many overemphasise weather events. What happens is that the public then plays chinese whispers with what they heard on the radio and soon an isolated snow shower in mallow is "did you hear Cork was covered in 6 inches of snow this morning".
