    Few flakes of snow in Dundrum mixed in with the lashings of rain. Not much to get excited about! But one can hope.

    I'd say its more like the day after tomorrow up around Roundwood right now, how i wish I was still living in Annamoe, must be over a foot of the stuff there by now.
    Meanwhile in Loughlinstown its pouring rain 32.2mm so far, current temp and dew are 2.6 and 1.9 respectively, settling snow far far away :(

    drove from Clougherhead to Walkinstown this morning .. the roads around drogheda were quite wet and little patches of excess water ... bits of sleet through ashbourne and then the M50 around the redcow was thicker sleet (if you can call it that) .... the return journey this evening should be eventful
