This is very marginal folks left Dundalk earlier nothing there came home just 12 miles away in south armagh to an absolute whiteout

not to be a d(%k but I grew up in New England where we get massive (1ft plus) snowstorms every winter. You have no idea what a real "whiteout" is

if it's within stick or broom reach - clear any snow on the LNB which faces the dish (it's the part that sticks out on the arm) - and it should work again.

A price worth paying I believe, get thee outside!

grass starting to turn white now! which is amazing considering the ground is covered in water.

you be suprised at how readily proper snow will stick to wet ground. I remember an event years ago, somewhere around 91/92, where it rained for hours and there were puddles and flooding everywhere. Then within an hour it went from sleet to heavy snow, flakes the size of pancakes, and covered everything, puddles included.

Sunday/Monday is a bit of a snowfest for the UK.

simply simple

mixture of rain and snow in santry, nothing sticking though

It's trying to snow here in swords, struggling i think. Will it happen ?

Just back from a trip to the hills here, a winter wonderland
Around 5 inches lying, and that wasn't the highest point
Heres my pathetic attempt at trying to draw todays date in it



Nothing on lower ground though.

Bit too early to say yet. Chances look better than today but might still be marginal in places and there may not be a lot of precip.

Cheers but not in reach tried the hose there but wind was blowing water everywhere

Supercell

Just back from Roundwood, big thaw on up there at the moment. Was 90:10 maybe rain snow mix. More snow higher up toward Kilmacanogue along the R755. Doesnt fill me with much (read any) hope down here in Loughlinstown for tonight at least.
Up by Sally Gap must be unreal amounts.

Yes Munster should have a chance could be marginal in some parts, but a lot better chance than today.

I'm very sceptical but i live in hope. We need to get the colder air in from the east and north.

i wouldn't say buried:) but should do well Munster and south Leinster would be the favored spots.

UKMO gives blizzards for Monday to all of us!!
Awesome run to 96hrs

ninebeanrows

Howth up to 1.6c after a positive fall to 1.2c

Indeed, a warm sector is involved with behind this front.

Lets hope it can stall and head south. The mild sector will be filled out over night by colder air.
