Another snow shower starting in Cavan town but its just falling on wet ground.

It will take an hour or so to stick depending on how heavy and how large the snow flakes are. If the temperature drops, then even better.

Thargor

Rain and snow in Bray, nothing sticking, absolutely horrible walk into work, nice views of snow on the Sugarloaf whenever the clouds clear a bit though.

eastmayo

Sleet has changed to snow in kilmovee east mayo..light enough.seems to be dyeing out on the radar?

flanzer

Travelling to work this morning (Back roads of Portmarnock and Kinsealy) and the roads are extremely flooded. With the saturation levels on the ground, surely it would take a monumental shift in temperatures in a downward direction for any snow to stick in Dublin and surrounding counties?

And sticking to roads and grass. Ground must be freezing as it lashed rain there last night.

Calibos

Bray, first road back from the prom, 11m asl, snow mixed with rain.

Hopefully optimistic for the weekend tbh.

Crimson King

Light snow fall in Sandyford now. Not going to stick though but interesting all the same.

cherryghost

DP has been falling on M2 bouy and temperature steadily rising since about 6am this morning.

FREETV

Getting lighter here but the wind will help to dry the wet ground more quickly.

Clav

06 GFS is a slight upgrade for the East coast I think. Uppers seem further west at least.

maquiladora

Just looking at the IWN map most DP temps seem to be hitting a plateau around 1-2. So unless something happens to change that later its going to stay mostly sleety at low levels.

rc28

Met Eireann have a warning out now - never saw them mention "blizzard conditions" before. Meanwhile, here in Meath, despite the bursts of heavy snow earlier it seems to be light sleet again.

Larbre34

Still here in Dub T1, Aer Lingus to Bristol cancelled, our Ryanair flight to same is pegged for midday but Id day we've no chance. Hearing announcements that all UK inbound planes are severely delayed which will knock-on here all day. Any hope of a clearance of snow band??

Patch123

2.4c and steady / dp 1c in Clonsilla. Rain.

Read there was a minor earthquake in the UK this morning http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-england-21073263; didn't this also happen during the Big Snow of 2010 IIRC?

Just sayin...

Spindle

For all that won't see snow today just look across the Irish Sea.

They have got 6 inches of snow so far in the Valleys in Wales. With another 6 inches due to arrive in the next few hours.

Live coverage is on the BBC, so at least you might see some falling

Hail mixed with a bit of sleet suncroft co kildare,winds have really started to pick up also

Elmer Blooker

the wind has suddenly died down? Only a bit breezy now.

PauloMN

Temp rising again here, yet another washout!! Just a normal ****ty, windy, grim winter's day. Doubt Meath will see any snow this weekend.

Sorry if anything its going to stall

Snow was sticking on the Little Sugarloaf between Bray and Greystones (about 100m asl) at 8am. A couple of cars with about 2 to 5cm of snow on their rooves in Bray as well.

maquiladora

Yeah I just noticed that. Have my doubts about low levels though.

Severe Weather Warning

Falls of sleet or snow today and tonight over the northern half of Leinster, Ulster and North Connaught and also on higher ground in Dublin and Wicklow. Blizzard conditions in places for a time today. Accumulations of 5 to 10 cm possible, highest further north and on high ground.
