Grand and mild down here, a few spots of hail left in the corners of yards but calm and pleasant.

A snowy scene here this morning.

Maybe an inch and a half of snow here in the northwest, more on higher spots. Most people unable to cope on the roads this morning but clearing well now🙈

Bright, nippy morning in the SE. Sunshine and blue skies. White tops to the higher hills in Wicklow. Lovely Spring morning.

I have a dreadful ability to have storms/bad weather anytime I have to travel. Am flying at the end of this month & the end of next month so it's probably guaranteed I'll be stranded somewhere!! :pac:

I drove from N Kerry to Cork city this morning and that map was spot on. Clonkeen to Macroom was very very interesting across the county bounds.



I was stuck behind a woman driving on top of the snow between the cleared spaces where all the rest of the cars were driving and every so often she'd hit the brakes at random when she thought there was a car too close or coming the other way and start skidding until she regained control.


I'd say I aged about 10 years during those 20 miles:(

Mooooo

Cork county council put out a tweet saying they gritted all major routes, they did in their hole, roads were desperate all over the shop

One of my hobby horses....i just can't stand the COP out nature in some circles when weather difficulties arise...not impossible or dangerous conditions, just ones where a little time and care will get you to work.

Schools are the worst, and it's a horrible message to be teaching kids..

7 or 8 degrees here today and mostly sunny with little to no wind.
No snow yet thankfully

I had that attitude last year in the snow.
I drove 20 miles in a front wheel drive car no problems where only 4wd's and vans with snow chains were travelling.
I was getting quite cocky at this stage about my rallying skills and I took a different road home. I passed out my neighbours in their car when they couldn't make it up a hill even with a 4wd quad pulling them along.
Just up at the top of the hill the cars wheels started spinning and then sliding and then I burst a tyre and then I couldn't change the tyre because the nuts on the alloy wheel were too worn from the use of air guns.
I had to abandon ship and leave the car for a few days till a service van got to it.

I wouldn't have got any further on that road anyways as a 10ft snowdrift was just around the corner.
If I had of waited one more day the roads would have been fully cleared and no burst tyre or abandoning the car on the side of the road.
I was only going to the plumbing shop for water connections that were burst with the frost and when I got to the shop it was closed so i decided to take a "better" road home.

Hahaha I remember the snow of 2010 driving along (at slow speed and on a clearly emply straight wide road ha) with the handbrake on for as long as I could, car would be fishtailing around and the challenge was to keep her pointing straight for as long as possible before you'd be forced to quickly drop the handbrake before the back end would totally step out. Well obviously I got caught out once ha, and the back end totally stepped out and spun the car into what thankfully was just a very shallow roadside drain. However I was proper stuck there, eventually thankfully a car drove by, and 2 lads jumped out and helped me push out the car, but they were properly like how in God's name did you spin the car there on a straight part of the road you absolutely idiot. The joys of your early 20s lol.

No they're clear atm.

There was a little dusting on them yesterday but they're clear today.
Just looking at the forecasts there now and it's giving rain here first tomorrow with snow then in the afternoon and into Friday morning.
No doubt there will be idiots driving up to see Mt Leinster tomorrow and Friday.
I honestly think these people should keep a bucket of snow in their freezer. Because they seem to quickly forget what it looks like.

Light dusting of snow yesterday, heavy frost last night, was -5 when I was out.

Last 5 units in milking parlour frozen over. Had drained water out of them yesterday evening. I obviously didn't drain it all

Raining here

Worst day of the winter so far. Icy wind blowing from the East, cattle huddled around ring feeders and humps on them. Still no snow, only the odd shower of hail.

greysides

A cold rain falling in the SE today, bit windy too. Yesterdays sun and blue sky seems a world away.

Beautiful evening here, still bright and very calm. Very few clouds so I'd expect a heavy frost tonight.
