    Yeah I'm in Lucan just now, clumpy sleet went to graupelly sleet to decent snow content. Brightening up again but these showers are dragging the ambient temps way down so as we get towards dusk the showers could be problematic in rush hour.

    Lots of graupel out of that shower in Sandyford /Goatstown/clonskeagh - roads went white and slippy very quickly.

    0.8c currently in D14.

    The tap may be turned off for Dublin fairly quickly after sunset. We should get a couple more this evening though.

    Yip....wind has dropped noticeably in the last hour. Big shower approaching Dublin from WNW could be it!

    What’s the prognosis? Are we likely to get more showers?

    Ditto in Dublin 16. Looks like something more substantial on the way.

    The possible last hurrah big shower has fallen as 99% rain in D9. Surprising as the last two showers were rather heavy snow at times.

    Part of the roof of Dooagh National School here in Achill was blown off this morning. Still very gusty here now.

    We are having a relatively calm last hour here in north Donegal, but it was really rough all day , in fact from the early hours to about 7pm.

    I don't remember a sustained period of crappy wet and stormy weather as this. Storms usually come and blow you to bits but leave fairly promptly. This is hanging around for too long, and looking at the forecast it might stay rough enough for days to come.

    Yeah, it can just rack off at this point.
