I know, I've over 70 pics, selecting a handful was tough. Hopefully this winter we will get a similar event.

Definite shift NE on the latest radar. Or am I just hoping too much.

oisingeogho

Just the odd graupel shower every 30 mins or so nothing to heavy in Blackrock S dublin

BEASTERLY

Temp 1.1C DP: -0.5C. Snizzling away.

The great snizzard of January 2013, we will remember.

I noticed that too. Glad to know I'm still relatively sane. Or maybe we're both losing it?

Light snow in D14

Very light sleet in Slieverue now. Light coating on the shed roof.

Would air temp of 3.3 and DP of -1.1 be conducive to snow? Anticipating that precip coming towards East Coast and those are the current conditions near coast where I am....

Torque.ie

System pushing NW over UK over past hour would be tidy if it continued as is & made it out over Anglesey & beyond

I don't know if I like the shift though. Just as the showers from Wales were getting going. Hopefully short term pain for long term gain.

Is there any good radar to watch?

http://www.raintoday.co.uk/ is what I use for general idea.

Snowing lightly 5 miles outside Killorglin, Co Kerry

Which side of killorglin are u at? Killarney , glenbeigh or Tralee ?

Graupel

Should be a definite switch to NE winds around 2-3am. Not expecting much till then if even.

Don;t worry about wet ground. There seems to be a myth going around that snow will have a better chance sticking to a dry ground than a wet ground. It's completely untrue. The wet ground is a symptom of melting snow, not the cause. Correlation not equal to causation and all that. Get proper snow and the temp low enough and it will stick to anything!

there's hope so ! all we need now is a belter of a blizzard . we can dream I suppose .

I say every bloody year that I must buy a weather station!!! The app on my phones tells me its 3c in Rush (I'm in Lusk however...), the wind has picked up a lot but no sign of precipitation of any description, doubt it would be snow anyway with that temp, actually feels milder out too since earlier today - I do always remember though my Mother saying its gets milder before snow :pac:

How's South Tipp looking for a covering tonight?

Where are you exactly irishfeen?

About 8 miles SW of Mallow, its threatening to get heavier but only spitting a few flakes, just back from Mallow town and nothing at all to be seen in there. About 2degC of a difference between Mallow town and here.
