Looks like all snow is fizzling out by the time it hits a line from South Drogheda to Youghal :mad::(

Thunder, lightning and heavy snow now - Tuam.

icesnowfrost · 13-01-2015 1:50pm

Light snowy sleet now

Total whiteout conditions in Donegal. Snow cover was pachy this morning but 2 inches plus has fallen this past hour.

Nice and white now in Castlebar

acassells80 · 13-01-2015 1:50pm

Any chance of this front
reaching east coast this evening

shedweller · 13-01-2015 1:54pm

Another decent flurry across Slane just now. Got some snow under my winter tyres for the second time in 3 years! Yay!
Oh, and it started as hail but turned to proper snow to a depth of about one cm with little teensy drifts against the back door of about 6cm. Its sunny now though but i can see the clouds towards the south as they roll on by, dropping their white goodies!

Westernyelp · 13-01-2015 1:54pm

Snowing away in Castlebar, roads are dangerous, had a few skids driving home

bb1234567 · 13-01-2015 1:55pm

Friend living just outside belfast sent me some pics of a little patchy covering of snow in her estate

So nice to see Met Eireann reporting moderate/heavy snow in Knock Airport...wish I was in Mayo

patneve2 · 13-01-2015 2:01pm

Not surprised by the strength of instability over the SW, West and North West...-40 degrees at 500 hPa always delivers...and there is still 12 hours left in the event.

Yep, looking very wintry out there; thunder, lightning & snow - the perfect combo

Graupel in goatstown, d14.

Nice blob heading straight for cork on the radar.
Hopefully fun and games in about 20mins

Nice cloud covering Waterford City, temp and DP dropping, but no sign of anything falling.

Saganist · 13-01-2015 2:05pm

Dublin not getting a sniff.

:P

Are we expected to get it?

Baggy Trousers · 13-01-2015 2:11pm

I went outside for 30 mins and experienced hailstones, sleet, snow and thunder.
Interesting day in Galway city.

We were included in me yellow weather warning for possible snow and wintery showers. Guess we'll have to wait and see, wouldn't hold my breath though!!!
