A band moving across about to hit west Wicklow soon,heading out to 300m asl for a walk now,perhaps first flakes of the season?

And the result in Wicklow... Any snow?

We got a small dusting of snow on low ground here in the midlands today, very pleasantly surprised to be honest. I thought it was only forecast for the west and north on high ground?

Was out at home about 8:30, snow was localised as I drove away a couple of miles there was none.
But here's what it was like as I left home.

Mullingar and Moorepark had -3.5 on Friday, haven't checked Thursdays ME data, but Saturday was a bit milder.

Edit just checked Thursday and it mostly was milder than Friday, so I'm guessing the above was the "peak"

Thanks for that. It didn’t amount to much in these parts so was interested to see where it did.

Well, the Met Eireann trigger for a Yellow alert for Snow/Ice (which is why we end up with these 'event' threads on Boards most of the time) is fairly vague and probably one of those things that'll be in place for a lot of winters:

Slippery paths and roads due to accumulation of ice on untreated surfaces

Was well warranted to be honest when you see the amount of car crashes it caused.

People in this country can't drive in any weather that's not ideal!
