Feels Baltic in Dublin city today!!

Kermit.de.frog

Just to mention those showers in the north west will become more widespread and heavier later tonight so we could see some flurries further east later on as the snow level drops inland.

The little disturbance has a little warm sector with it, so the best chance of snow is probably on its back edge as it clears east early tomorrow morning.

It's a long shot. Most models have that pretty much cleared by 3 am. I don't expect anything other than sleety rain in my area and that's assuming we actually get some showers.

We have seen surprises many times before though. I wouldn't be shocked to see the odd flurry.

Could be icy too in the morning.

But on the Wicklow mountains and hills further south above, say, 200 m a dusting seems likely enough.

Stealthfins

Just had a heavy sleet shower in Ennis, just outside on the Lahinch road.
The temperature dropped 2° c in minutes.
The sun is out again. ..
An evening for the fire and lamppost watching :-)

Metmaster

More snow forecasted for Friday

A real Heinz Variety of Hail, Sleet and Rain here just outside of Naas

Just out the garden there getting logs for the fire, getting very windy and also quite cold, cant see it snowing though but that sky has that look about it, kids are doing their dinger as my better half was telling them it could snow:P

jamo2oo9

A bit of hail down in UL with some rain. Not very heavy.


Could've sworn there was some sleet earlier but it could be me imagining things.. :P

tylercollins

That's me all ready to head out after dinner for some snow chasing. Good chance of seeing the Aurora also tonight through any clear spells!

Thanks for that, watching it now

HighLine

There was heavy sleet this evening at the foot of Lugnaquilla. I'd imagine it will have a fair dusting of white at the top by the morning.

Green Fish

Some sleet in west Galway but it just seems 2 or 3 degrees too warm out there for anything decent. Hopefully the mountains will have a nice covering soon.

snowstorm445

Saw some very sleety rain (almost snow) on the way up from Cork this evening, around Abbeyleix.

Winter's arrived!

mallards

The clouds rolled in today in Tyrone and the blizzards started. only the mountain tops stayed white but I would say there would be some snow at lower levels tomorrow.

AnotherYear

Just got my first dose of snow this winter. Heavy hail shower which turned to snow. 30m asl in Donegal so the higher parts will do well tonight. I heard a distant rumble of thunder too.

To be fair, it seems the snow we got was in a shower around 5-5.30am, everything before that was rain.

Graces7

The high back mountains have a dusting of snow here in South West Kerry.

There were frozen flakes on my car this morning in Navan, so we did have a snow shower at some stage.

Met Eireann Friday: Very cold and windy. Sunny spells in the east and southeast but heavy wintry showers generally. Highest temperatures only 3 to 7 degrees in blustery northwesterly winds.

Clear skies in Limerick and it looks like the sun is setting down now. Nice orangle glow skies around

That wind is brutal.. lazy wind that goes right through you instead of round.. Life becomes focussed on getting warm... Heating big stones in the range for my feet!

Green Fish

Anyone living near Galtymore and if so, is there any snow on it?

Was up Kippure round 10.30pm last night. Roads fairly snowy and icy, 4WD was nice to have. Nice accumulation of snow on the top of Kippure, bitterly cold hard snow falling with 100m visibility.
