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

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.

My car had some frozen flakes on it this morning, around half eight.
That's out near Rolestown, outside Swords.

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.

is this wintry showers for east and southeast ??

Nope the west

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!

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

light enough coating.

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.

Thats not how the internet works, none of what you said makes sense without photos

Mycroft H

Sorry! The phone wasn't up to much. DSLR is knackered. You'll have to take my word for it! Twas cold and you couldn't even see the mast lights right at the gate.

Was there snow at Military Road level or only up the road to the mast?

Mycroft H

At 10.30 there was snow at military road, around 8 there wasn't. I'd say there was snow up the road to the mast from the early evening. There was bootprints around the bridge about half way up. On the way back it petered out near glencree and once you climbed towards the feather beds there was a covering of snow again.

On the top there was enough to cover the grass entirely and throw a few snowballs about. I'd say about 1.5-2cm

From Ian k. Fergusson on Netweather- First tentative whiff of height rises over/near Greenland in EC 12z clusters beyond circa 21 Dec (and out to T+360) with resultant hints of possible northerly flow regime for UK. Baby-steps....We expect there to be a possible lag period before this sort of outcome emerges further in EC with any stronger definition, but still too far off to warrant anything 'excitable' by way of forum reaction, I stress.

Are you KIDDING?!?


This thread was started in *August* ... it would want to be 30C outside with no clouds and STILL someone here would be saying "I think there's something interesting building off Norway"!

Nice input

I'm back for my yearly snow roller-coaster. Looking forward to it.

Perhaps a bit early to warrant a thread of its own but if the GFS is to be believed then there is fairly decent chance of widespread snow on Thursday evening and night. Going by the latest charts it would appear that there could be a fair bit of lying snow in many parts of the country on Friday and maybe Saturday as temperatures are currently forecast to barely get higher than 0c on both days in midland, northern and eastern areas, away from coasts with corresponding very cold nights which would undoubtedly also mean treacherous road conditions.

Anyone else think that something interest could be afoot?

I seriously think this winter is f**king with me!

I bought a jeep and various other bits and pieces for snow chasing about 3 weeks ago and the head went on it last week and it's currently in the garage being fixed
