This is good for tracking where the front and precipitation will go. Looks good for the east and south east later this evening which is what Met Eireann are thinking.

Temps gone up to 3.5c in Laois and light rain as just started to fall ...just cold and miserable now.

With a hard freeze forecast tonight roads will be truly treacherous after all this precipitation. If snow sticks anywhere after rainfall the place will be like an ice rink.

Yup. Which makes the fact that many schools in Cork are closed til 11am today particularly bizarre. This decision was made late yesterday afternoon. By then it was obvious (and this isn't hindsight, I posted this immediately yesterday) that this morning would be fine for travel in Cork but Friday morning could be lethal.

Mortelaro

Bone dry in Arklow
SE wind off the sea gusting to 40kmh
Dewpoint has fallen in the last hour to 0.5c
Expecting rain here with that obviously but heading inland and high wet ,snow

Very lite rain/sleet in Kilbeggan/Ballinagore.

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.

Only real hope is when the sun sets I'd say.

No mountains, no snow falling, just a bitter wind... cold through and through

OK you know best; thought it was the other side would be bad... stay safe whatever! towards Killarney with the bends etc. would never drive past avoca in bad weather

The junction/peak at avoca looked very dodgy yesterday, lots of sheet ice, I didn’t see it for myself but saw photos.

Also I’ll be towing a trailer and not too happy about driving on icy roads with it.

Dark,cold and breezy here outside Sligo town.
Very hard to know what its going to do.

Roads around Sligo town decent.. but car parks and estates still lethal.

Don't really want much more snow as have to drive to Knock Airport tomorrow and despise driving in icy weather!

Automatic station. One would hardly give any credence to the precipitation type versus a visual obs.

No fresh snow in Castlebar when I left but there's a cm or two on the ground in Claremorris and it's still coming down heavy.
