Wish it was falling a lot faster and not flatlining!

Yeah the NAE is going to be completely wrong by the look of it.

Front is as weak as my granny atm. If this continues, will be over by 12.

Let's see of it intensifies.

200motels

Clear and dry here in Waterford City.

Had a great night listening to the gale and the lashing rain, and boy did we get some rain. Going to bed my rain gauge said 17mm and my collectors said 20mm ~ WS this am now says 30mm of rain.

I'm trying to envisage that in snow, need help thanks.

Sleet has turned more to moderate snow here in Meath - not a chance of sticking for a while yet though. I wonder if the front is weakening more than expected. Really raw and miserable out there - wrap up!

Slashermcguirk

Sleet and bits of wet snow driving towards fairview in Dublin. Defo more sleet than rain

BLIZZARD7

Van in front has a covering of snow! Clonskeagh Road...

Roughly 30cm, all depends on the type of snow though. Wetter snow equals higher accumalations. So 0c better than -10c

Front dumped 45mm of rain in Waterford city.

I think 1mm = 1.2 cm of wet snow - it's less for dry snow.

Could be wrong, though.

Snowing, here a while now outside Balbriggan.

How high up are you? inland or away from the coast?? Is it sticking?

Swords, north dublin. Just got into car for the commute. 2 degrees and heavy rain with sleet mixed in.

Tabnabs

Just saw a car coming off the road up to the Ballinascorny gap in Dub/Wicklow mountains, car was covered in snow. Was I wrong to let out a cheer?

channaigh

I've a feeling it's all going to fall apart

Johnny1999

Bit windy here a little bit of rain. I'm in Moville now but heading to Kilkenny in about 4 hrs, hopefully the roads won't be too bad!

patneve2

Rain and sleet, still mighty gusts of wind. 2.8 deg

It's no more snowing in ballbriggan than it is in Spain. Pics to prove it

cherryghost

Anyone know what models Sky News works off? They are forecasting snow in Mayo and Galway as well as parts of the midlands later on this afternoon but I can't match any models that reflect this.

have the choice of staying in bray or heading to sligo for the weekend, any idea where i'm more likely to see some snow, in the east or in the west? still raining here in bray.

Hendrix75

3.5C in mid ulster, very windy and raining. Does feel cold though. Our weather office still thinks we are in for a dumping of it later today - excited and curious.

Big Nasty

Very light snow in Ticknock now - it is sticking though!
