Snowing quite heavily in Carrigtwohill, Cork now. Not sticking so far, seemed to have been mixed with hail for a while, but just snow now.

Donegal seems to be getting a right pasting with plenty more heavy stuff on the way looking at the radar, should be some big depths and drifts in the hills by tomorrow morning

Meanwhile it's 9C, damp and grey here in Essex

Barnsmore Gap has had very heavy snow, but reamins open. McGorys Brae though, a few miles down the road is blocked. Really a place for an overtaking lane, lorrys struggle there on the best of days.

Still getting occasional heavy showers in Sligo Town, but none sticking since earlier falls around10am.

Snowing on and off at powerscourt, enniskerry. Co wicklow

Frostybrew · 13-01-2015 2:46pm

Heavy wet snow in Glanmire, not sticking. Clap of thunder in the distance. 15m ASL

Hooter23 · 13-01-2015 2:47pm

Were getting the showers in Galway but mostly hail/sleet and a light flurry after each shower...

Samsgirl · 13-01-2015 2:49pm

Got very dark in Waterford for a while but.sun shining now. I haven't seen a flake of snow yet.

leahyl · 13-01-2015 2:52pm

Stopped snowing in Cork City (near UCC) - it's moving east judging by the posts above.

Dr. Kenneth Noisewater · 13-01-2015 2:53pm

It's been threatening to do something serious in Tralee all day but bar 4 or 5 short flurries of very light sleet and snow, nada so far.

Rumours flying that we're gonna get it tonight but I wouldn't hold my breath:rolleyes:

No snow where i am in south east Kerry,Brief Hail/snow mix around 9.30 but currently sunny out,Mountains here have a good covering but nothing out of the ordinary 110m asl.

Kermit.de.frog · 13-01-2015 2:57pm

The snow accumulation risk at low ground is a good 20 or so miles at least inland from the west coast. That's the problem with an onshore breeze across thousands of miles of ocean.

I'm starting to think that Cork's Snow Shield blew up to Dublin during last years storms!!!

:(:(

tegerman · 13-01-2015 2:58pm

Limerick's snow shield still functioning. Nothing here.

Steven81 · 13-01-2015 2:59pm

Snowing in Athlone, just got thunder too

highdef · 13-01-2015 3:01pm

An enlarging and intensifying area of precip is currently heading for counties Meath and Louth....perhaps a bit further south if it keeps developing. With temps in these counties generally around 1 or 2c with no precip at present, I think these 2 counties in particular could be if for some fairly nasty conditions in a short while. This is assuming that the current track and intensity does not change or diminish

lenoude · 13-01-2015 3:01pm

Thunder snow and hail now in moate, westmeath

What if your at the end of a narrow bay like clew bay or Galway bay? Surely you wouldnt have to be 20miles inland from the end of Galway bay?
I noticed a 2C drop driving 6 miles inland from Oranmore this morning.

RuthieRose · 13-01-2015 3:03pm

This fell in the last 20 min. Before this nada.... Check out behind the house!!

Frostybrew · 13-01-2015 3:04pm

Stopped in Glanmire. What meagre amount settled has already melted.

some heavy stuff on the way in... watch out Sligo!!:eek:

Gonzo · 13-01-2015 3:10pm

north meath and Louth could be in for another beefy shower, here in south Meath it's been almost unbroken sunshine since 9am this morning, similar conditions over Dublin as well.
