Nope, nothing sadly.

Looks like some of those showers may be beefy enough to make it through to Dublin, but, more likely to fall as icy rain/sleet if they make it.

Just had really heavy snow shower. Sticking to grass but not to roads yet. Roads will be fun at 5.30 in the morning.

Gonzo

frosty outside, but light rain/sleet shower here now.

mountainy man

Starting to settle properly now, it was too wet before, cat not impressed

eastmayo

Heavy snow near knock airport the last 10mi.starting to settle as well.

RobertKK

It is snowing heavily here (Kilkenny's hills should be all white when the sun rises), everywhere is now covered in snow.

The moon appears between the dark shower clouds

Any snow expected to reach the East Coast over night?

No, but I wouldn't rule it out.

very little if any. I doubt there will be any surprises like this morning. The south and south-east seems to be doing much better. Most of the east is bone dry at this stage.

Those showers up in the NW are much beefier than I thought. I'd say some of us will wake up to a winter wonderland in the morning. I wouldn't even rule out Leinster

Quite a sleety shower down here at the moment,local hills will be white after it
I'd certainly expect inland west Munster,lots of Connaught,mid and north Leinster and much of Ulster to see flakes during the night to varying degrees
Settling in parts
There should be lots of posts and pics here in the morning

Current DPs.

I was in Liscannor earlier and it was snowing,lahinch was all white too.
It melted quite fast though.

mountainy man

Just had a long lasting snow shower and its left me with about 3 inches lying here. The showers overnight were not nearly as "Beefy" as they looked on the radar.

Will take some photos when it gets bright.

Rainy, sleety, graupally, muck here...on the plus side I don't have to de-ice the car. Looks like I am just on the edge, Athlone showing nice returns for Snow on the radar.

hotwhiskey

Left the house at 5am with a mixture of slushy snow on the road but has i headed towards Cavan town roads pretty clear, On my way to Monaghan now raods very slushy and wet snow in parts. There is a right bit on the fields it looks lovely when the sky clears with the reflection of the moon.

Snowbiee21

Is this the end to the snow for a while ?

Eamondomc

Not a significant event, but our first dusting of the season. It'd skin a buck out here this morning.

And a very odd sky looking west here this morning.

mountainy man

A few pics as it was getting bright, taken with my new tablet and they are not great :pac:

Darwin

Almost blizzard like conditions in parts of Laois this morning, not really settling so an easy enough drive to work.
@MountainyMan wow, that's proper snowfall

The envy is killing me ...
Great pic BTW..

mountainy man

Ha, I wouldn't be too envious, I'm not sure ye soft Dublin folk could hack the crap weather we get up here the rest of the year just for a few days of snow.:D

Gonzo

got nothing here as expected, not even a frost.
