Another great forecast, love the detail https://www.facebook.com/metoffice/videos/10155579421269209/

This is the coldest winter I have experienced apart from 2010. Hot water bottles, blankets, duvet, hairy man beside me. I am just freezing. Maybe I'm getting old. Lols. Hail and lightening a short while ago.

Showers should be turning to snow now in the western half of the country.

Not far off here in Dublin 2.5/0.3c

CrowdedHouse

Recent snow shower Roscrea, reasonable dusting. 0.7C/-1.4 C

calistro

Nice covering here near Virginia, Cavan, and still coming down.

King of Spades

Was snowing here. All surfaces white. Wasn’t expecting it. Bitterly cold wind. Tara, Meath.

Lucreto

Standing at the train station in Sallins and it started snowing.

Hopefully a precursor for more this month.

Pangea

Yes plenty reports of snow on Facebook around Donegal and a few cms on some routes by the looks of it

Gaoth Laidir

Knock Airport this morning is reporting 2 cm of snow cover, but the code used to describe the character of cover is "snow covering the whole ground, deep drifts". Not sure what classifies as "deep" but I'm sure we're not talking 1982.

Gonzo must have a dusting by now.

mojesius

Snow in Ratoath! She's sticking!

redsteveireland

After some violent hail showers, the worst of which was around 01:30, we had some recent snow and a light covering.

Maybe. If it holds together and maintains some intensity. Good wind direction for us normally though.

Just missed one in to the North county.

Think somebody in ME should alter the forecast - looking at the Obs.

It was obvious there was a snow risk this morning and most of today for at least 3 days. How they miss these things I don't know.

Snowing heavy in West roscommon. Roads and grass are covered.

sparrowcar

Snowing in swords, light to moderate. Decent size flakes.

Kermit.de.frog

Light snow here at the moment.

ninebeanrows

the southern portion of the Dublin shower has weakened but would expect north dub to get some mod snow

another shower near Ballinasloe could approach in 1hr.

Gaoth Laidir

Light snow in Celbridge, small flakes melting instantly on impact.

Bonzo Delaney

Another good snow shower in mid/north Kildare breezy too

That shower is coming down really heavily here in Meath. About a cm on the ground now.

Can confirm that West of celbridge, the snow of heavy and sucking to all surfaces. Was not expecting this at all!

Gaoth Laidir

Snow grains in Newcastle.

lapua20grain

light snow shower in Kinsealy, nice to see

ninebeanrows

Shower showing good returns but just easing to the south so might miss city centre.

Should be decent fall from Blanch to Howth north.

Kermit.de.frog

Snowing now, beautiful flakes. I'll probably miss the heavier stuff though.

highdef

Complete covering of snow on all surfaces here in North Kildare, near the Meath both. I see another shower on radar to the west heading this way (and maybe Dublin too). It's currently a North/south orientated shower and it's south of athlone at this time.

Snowing in Drogheda
