Anyone asking about flights. Our 12.50pm flight to Faro from Dublin was delayed an hour due to snow in London. It was aer lingus but aside from some turbulence all went smooth.

Roofs went white in 10 seconds here. Breef heavy burst snow/hail mix.

Cloud tops have heightened notably in the last hour.

Bit of a snow shower in Tramore, Co Waterford, pretty much stopped. Nearly sunny.

Not too much on Hirlam that I can see anyway except for the east and south east. Of course depends what you mean by the south!

Moderate snow/graupel shower a few mins ago. Some of the graupel has settled but it's been blown into mini-drifts by the wind. This shower alone would make this March better for lying snow than March 2013 here! I can see CBs over the Irish Sea at the moment.

The thing with March 2013 was that while temperatures were persistently below average which made it an extreme month overall in terms of the mean temperature, daily temperatures weren't all that extreme. Like, apart from the 11th, I had at least 4c on every day of March 2013, though I failed to reach 10c.

Gorgeous day in Athlone. Clear and beautiful blue skies and the sun splitting the stones!

Even the weather forum isn't safe from flipping Rugby

But it snowed for the whole match, that makes it relevant.

Light snow falling, cloudy to the east, the sun is shining from the west.
0.9C with a DP of -2.5C. North East Kilkenny.

Edited as snow picked up intensity.

Big flakes falling moderately now at Grange.

Blue skies appearing on the scene again as clouds clear, but not for long as cloud is not far away.

I have just returned from London (was there for work reasons - not the match unfortunately). This morning around 6.30 it started to snow and got quite heavy as morning went on. Nothing was sticking though in central London. On my way to the airport some evidence of stick on grass but nothing like a few weeks ago. It simply wasn’t sticking. Perhaps the snow that falls tonight will stick.

Had a bit of a shower a short while ago and the patio table has a white covering now. It's 1.0/-3.6C.

Yeah i know. I guess it's the urban heat island effect, but then it was not a problem a few weeks ago. So it must be the sun being even stronger at this time. If we had a few days of frosty weather before hand, it might have helped.

Casement reporting a DP of -9c. :-o
