Cold Spell Discussion (Ireland): Cold/Frosty/Icy with Snow for some

DominoDub

Very light powder falling in the City Center (Pearse Street) for the last hour or so.

Looks like the Dublin City folk maybe covered by the "Isle of Anglesey Shadow" from these streamers.

Light snow and graupel on and off all morning.

Any update on Dungiven area? Might have to head up Benbradagh way a bit later today

Not actually there at the minute, but apparently its much the same as yesterday morning. On the way there now so I'll post if there's anything radical :-)

Lots of snow falling all morning in dublin mountains about 10 mins from rathfarnham. Really deep in places....great to live near Dublin mountains....always guaranteed loads of snow!!

Updated Taf for Dublin airport, interesting!

Translation - light sleet from 18:00 with a decent chance of it turning to light snow later on in the night (from 01:00)
Wind direction (ESE) keeps south Co Dublin mostly out of the fun zone before then.

Things should start getting interesting in the east around 3am.



And more interesting by 6am.

Teeny tiny snow in Ballyfermot, not convinced those clouds are snow clouds though...

There could be some light amounts that get that far east but these things can often be weaker than the models expect. Should get an idea how its going from watching the radar tonight.

Trogdor

Light snow here too, 3.0C/-0.3C

The Dublin, wicklow mountains seem to be sucking the precipitation out of the showers before they reach my area

Yeah it's very weak stuff at the moment. Drizzle, snizzle.

I'm very impressed with the Irish Sea today. It's even managing some light showers in the Anglesey shadow. Should be interesting later.

The Irish sea has really come to life! had a bit of grapul here about 15 mins ago, all the dew points seem to be good so I think it's a 'stick your head out the window day' toady

At least we're now looking at radar rather than checking the maps 48 hours + out!

1 of my pictures from 3 rock yesterday, well worth a visit if your near it

That looks brilliant. What are the roads like around there?

Yeah it is, was just talking about the east in that reply.

Dew point temps could be very marginal there tonight. I'd be expecting sleet and maybe wet snow at times in the city there. North of the county should see snow though.

Mr Cumulonimbus

Light hail shower here in Dundalk at the moment.

Temp 2.6, DP 0.8

Some nice stuff bubbling up in the Irish Sea and heading into the Louth/Meath area like last night.
