First bit of white stuff sticking tonight - it's white and a surprise but it's not really snow - more like a hail splatter after the storm

But I'll take it!

Nice and clear here. I love the clearness. It feels empty and lonely. Like i'm missing out. D13 area. Fml

The term 'blizzard-like' really has been overused IN this thread, a flurry of snow for five minutes that melts in 10 isn't a blizzard lads , for feck sake.

The midlands are looking good for some action soon. I'm sure our Tullamore correspondent will accurately report accumulations in the morning.

I'm old enough to remember the excitement of waking up to an unexpected covering of snow. Now it's 3 days of weather warnings followed by 48 hours of an addiction to the weather forum on boards.ie with 5 minutes of a snow/hail mix followed by cold rain. Then it's back to FI forum to see when it'll start all over again. The good old days really were the best.

I loved those olden days too, but I also love the modern thrill of the chase.

Nice blob of snow ( if the radar is accurate) moving down the midwest.
Looks fairly heavy.

Yep the mild sector has fecked off now so precip inland should be leaning more towards proper snow.

Birr would be a good place to be right now, living up to it's name

If the giant blob of snow currently over the mid west made it to Dublin that could be interesting .

Ha. It won't though, it'll head off into the sea off Waterford

A night of sudden squalls then silence again. Snow landscape clear in the moonlight.

When I closed down, it was snowing hard at this level and showing signs of sticking ,but thankfully it has not.

Mountains are a fine sight but good to look at not to be stuck in. Best of it here,

Lovely that so many of the little ones got to enjoy the rarity; some beautiful posts and photos

BITTER BITTER cold.

Man with van has confirmed his arrival so all seems well

Sleep time again here

Blessings and peace

Wet sleet mush falling now in NW Cork. Stretches of road >230m are white, with temp hovering around 0C. Below that it's a slushy mix on the road. Not nice for driving on at all.

Its over for the time being.... roll on the Beast:eek:

Surprise(kinda) fall of snow here, hope it's not frozen onto the car.

Up feeding the baby and the velux are completely covered with snow so we had more during the night! Amazing. Youghal/Dungarvan area.

Nothing like frozen snow and black ice to make the morning commute more interesting!

Slight dusting overnight. Offaly. Will take a pic and frame it because it wil be gone by 8. Could be it for this winter. Reverse psychology and all that....

Going to bed last night there was a good dusting outside. This morning about 35 mm and the whole place is white. 600 ft asl between Beal na Blath and Colleen, Co. Cork.
