So, as expected absolutely no snow in Cork City - not a hint of it; if anything it was mild enough this morning. Hilarious listening to colleagues in work yesterday fully expecting to have a "snow day" today :rolleyes:

Heavy sleet showers this morning in Tralee , lot of standing water on the roads. When cloud cleared a bit could see a good coating of snow on the top quarter of the mountains.

In North Clare it's still raining.
East Clare is a hotspot for snow, always was.

Gone from grapple, to snow, to sleet, to now not quite sure in Sligo.

Not the most fun drive home, now in bed, wondering what I will awake to later.

Snowing in millstreet Co cork now. Not sticking yet but depending on how heavy and length of time I'd say it should be in under an hour.!! Could get a few hours of this front and then what comes later could give an extra few cms!! Could easily have a couple of inches by midnight I reckon.
