Indeed, just back from a walk in it - tis very light.

Just wondering what we'll be waking up to.

Shops little & large have large bags of salt available & the main road through my estate has been gritted.

No fear of any gritting out Robertstown way, in 2010 we had to get the farmers with tractors to clear the road KCC forgot there were people out this way, send some of that snow this way please.:D

Temps the wrong side of Marginal here in Newcastle, Co. Wicklow. We had a heavy graupel shower in the past hour but it melted straight away. Temp at the mo is 3.5 and D.P +0.5, Met eireann mentioned the temps dropping below zero everywhere tonight.. That would be some drop for here!

I don't see that happening in coastal wicklow.
Temp has been on the rise for the last hour and there's no break in the cloud,not that that's what you'd want.

To echo what Docarch said earlier,this cold spell is a dud.

Looking at the radar so far today monahan must be well plastered by now.

very light snow shower here now melting on impact. Nothing is gonna stick anywhere unless it is heavy or we get some clear skies first with a frost to help the snow grains settle.

My wrists are sore from flipping from radar to radar to radar,

from this thread to the other,

from waving at the sky whilst doing my snowdance


and still NOTHING!



*But I am so delighted for those who have snow - it's so wonderful to see it, and be in it......enjoy!

As my mother used to say, "a watched kettle never boils" .
Maybe we should stop looking for the snow, leave the internet alone and use the traditional method of lamp post watching. Then IF it arrives we can return to the rested internet and upload our joyful photos.. ?

Lampost watching is even worse. You start hallucinating after about an hour.
Although I think I;m starting to hallucinate looking at the radar too at this stage.
