Obviously the further west into the Mountains probably did better than the eastern side, but just a minor dusting around Roundwood (only the dry parts, not even all the grass). Was only twilight when I was heading in, but didn't look much on the likes of Scarr, Djouce and the other North Eastern Mountains from what I could see anyway.

Nice proper flakes falling in Lusk now - melting on impact but nice to see, I certainly didn't expect it. Bring on an easterly now next please... :pac:

What part of the city? I saw nothing on the southside when passing through Rochestown, Douglas and South Ring to Bishopstown.

not a great pic, but you get the point!

amen

Happy for all those getting snow but I'm in the West (Athenry) and no sign of snow at all. Clear blue skies.
I thought the snow was starting in the West and heading East ?

Kippure looked bone dry this morning, nothing at all up there yet. The Dublin mountains are certainly clear so far.

My sister sent me pic of snow in Ashbourne. I'm not able to post it

Light dusting of snow in North Kilkenny.

Snow here in Derry. Took me over an hour to go just over 8 miles this morning for work, a trip that usually takes me 15 minutes.

Tried using the backroads but someone managed to block the entire road.

Turned headed back into Eglinton village, took me 25 minutes to go less that half a mile.

Absolutely shocking.

Roll on home time

If you didn't look outside during a particular 10 minutes you probably missed it. It snowed briefly in Athlone and dissolved immediately - if I hadn't been looking out the window I'd never have known. Sun is trying to vome out now.
