nice... the joys of being on high ground.

here it's still sleety. met eireann were right when they said the showers would turn sleety on lower ground during the day. it looks like we might get some more snow on lower ground, albeit briefly, on sunday.

Not too much snow on the Galtees, but I didn't go as far Galteemore this time, which would certainly have had a bit more. Still, it was nice to see a little snow.

First lying snow I've seen this winter!

Nice forest scene

A bit more snow and some views

How it was at around 700m

A snow shower to cap things off

Hopefully there'll be better opportunities over the coming months!

12z F1 becomes just what we want to see( some proper height rises to the north). Let's hope for a trend.

I can't remember why, but I know that Stratosphere warmings are good for potential cold spells, but I also know that a lot of other factors have to be favourable too unfortunately.

Maybe someone with more experience could fill us in a bit more?

too.

The pic that you posted is in FI and looks good.
Allot of other details would need to be correct, to sum it up.

It might hit, just another side of the world.

There's snow sign of the white stuff here, but possible snow in Naas? My sister rang a while ago to say that on her way home there, she saw a car with a sprinkling on the windscreen.

Gerry 'shleet' Murphy just gravely announced conditions were to get 'more and more wintry' In the coming days on 9pm RTE weather report.

Apparently the unthinkable has happened. Murphy has outramped Boards.ie

There's a glitch in the matrix
