Met Éireann seem confident of snow tonight for Dublin and Leinster. “Snow accumulations possible on lower levels” Bring it on baby

Seems similar to what the garphics on BBC weather was showing at 7.15am

Beginning to stick on cars, roofs and frozen footpaths in Galway. Didn't particularly expect that!

Light snow in central Mayo at 06:45 as I left for work, settling on cars and surfaces, travelled to north Mayo then and snow was alot lighter and then none, bodes well for later on. Seems to be the edge of the front going by Met rain radar. 1c-1.5c.

Dry and cold here on the Laois/kildare border ...currently 2c with a low of near -4 over night.
No visible frost but the roads are still pretty bad in spots. Rain isn’t to far away. If snow does fall the ground conditions are perfect (dry and cold )

Starting to get heavier, just north of Galway city.
Snow that is.

frost thawing,starting to spit rain a little ,east Galway

No ice at all left in cork city so? Rain has surely melted anything left?

Black ice in Dublin 5 and cloudy.

Paths and roads in Dublin 10 are lethal. Took me 3 times longer to get to the bus stop so missed 2 buses!

Saw 2 people fall over on driveways due to the slope. -2 here and biting wind.

-8c in Katesbridge Co Down last night.

The -6c at Dublin Airport
The -4c at Casement are interesting

Whatever just fell in D12, like freezing rain. Roads and footpaths are treacherous...

Can second that paths are lethal nearly fell a couple of times getting a bus in Kimmage.

Dry so far in Dublin 15 but the overcut by the front has driven the temp up by 7 degrees in 3 hours, now just some dew on the windscreens that were frozen hard a short time ago. There'll be no snow for the Capital from at all today this below 150/200m im thinking, similar to Tuesday morning's snowline on the hills.

Absolutely treacherous even in inner city Dublin, got out of the car at Rathmines and immediately slipped on black ice on the footpaths.

Closer to home in Dublin 14, I woke up to a Graupel/snow shower mix and it stuck, you could hear the crunching sound as you walked. Hoping for some backedge snow later.

Can you divert via kenmare etc? I lived out that way and in frost etc would go the long way round easily ? Either from Sneem or cutting across at Blackwater

No, the Kenmare - Templenoe stretch is closed to traffic until March for pavement improvements or something, I would never normally go to molls gap to get near sneer but will have to this time.

Thanks for thinking about it though

Lashing rain here near Mallow. The front will retreat later so may see something wintry from that.

topcat72

Cold rain here in Limerick city suburbs, wind rising somewhat in last hour, no sign of sleety mix we had yesterday. Currently 4c by the car,( so admittedly unscientific,) but no wintry precipitation at all from this front as of yet..

Something more like hail than snow falling here near Rathdrum. To commute or not now is the question.

That sounds like graupel

Mr Bumble

You can take a left before you get to Molls Gap on the road up from Kenmare which will bring you onto the high road to Sneem without going near the gap.....

Graces7

Just seen this; we are fortunate here...,

Nothing at home near Roundwood. Light dusting on the roads from around Ballinastoe down the Long Hill, from around 250m asl I'd guess.

Ray Donovan

Bucketing rain here in South Offaly at the foothills of the Slieve Blooms.

Met E still talking about possible upgrade to warnings and snow at "lower elevations" weather forecast at 0758 on RTE 1 radio just now.....

Very little, was still some snow in my garden funnily enough when I left. On 96fm Fb page last night they were all freaking out about it being icy in the morning and schools would be closed and I was like “it’s gonna rain so I think it’ll be ok”. Someone comes back “but then it’ll be freeze, it’ll be lethal” “There’ll be black ice everywhere” - I said “it’s meant to cloud over with heavy rain” - this is what it said on the met forecast, they were dead right.

Oh bad luck!

You can get through from Kenmare to the avoca shop at the Gap then on to the straight road left to Sneem .

TTLF

I wonder where the "snow at lower elevations" is possible, probably the midlands?

Is there any hope at all of turning Red today or tomorrow morning? Dublin / Meath area.
