Not showing snow where I live.

Clonmel1000

Happen to be in DCC this pm. Was dry and overcast up until about 4.15 but breezy and biting cold. It’s raining heavy since and is a thoroughly miserable evening.

Every month of the past 2 years seems to be the coldest/wettest on record, just a giant endless dark cloud of misery over Ireland, while much of the rest of Europe is experiencing the opposite, record-setting warming temperatures.

Covid and brexit have taken all the headlines obviously but is not newsworthy as well? Certainly plays a big part in the already deteriorating mental health being of residents.

March to June 2020 was some of the nicest weather I have ever experienced in Ireland. It was dry for the most part and we had lovely sunny days. The whole country was out walking or cycling. A magical time for the kids too.

Dublin had sunniest month on record in May with almost 300 hours of sunshine.
Highest number of daily sunshine hours recorded was 15.3 hours in Co Wexford

https://www.irishtimes.com/news/ireland/irish-news/this-spring-has-been-driest-on-record-in-leinster-1.4265574

This spring has been the driest on record in Leinster since digital records began around 70 years ago, the national forecaster Met Éireann has said.
Since early March seven weather stations have experienced an “absolute drought,” which is 15 consecutive days without rain.

Apart from the sunny spring though. I it has been pretty bad the last while. June-September was almost constant rain. Last winter was extremely wet and this winter is not much different.

Can safely say that was the heaviest rain here in a long time, field flooded beside the house, and was to much for the drainage pipes, lawns, and parts of the driveway around the house flooded, all gone now thankfully, finished up with 13.7mm, so 6.2mm fell in the 2 hours from above post

This upcoming colder spell doesn't look to provide as much interest as it looked pre Christmas. Also, we may be returning to mild muck early new year. Unless something comes out of the blue, the wait for proper cold goes on into mid Jan at least. That's what it looks like, don't shoot the messenger.

Can someone delete my post on the daily forecast sticky thread please.

Little snowy old me

It is all going the wrong side of marginal.

For those who want positivity regarding possible proper winter weather into January. SSW looks good this time.

BobbyMalone

Was there any falling snow last night around the Dublin Mountains? Coming off the M50 at Ballinteer, past Marlay, there looked like a dump of snow on the road (as if it came of a car) ... but doesn't look possible given the weather reports.

Graces7

Does substantial hail qualify ? Banked against the door out here … pelting down so not about to go out and take a photo!

West Mayo offshore

A freezing cold day here, the house is icy cold. There was a shower a few minutes ago but b;ue skies currently.

Gonzo

dry and clear here in Meath, might get a shower or two later.

Once we get tomorrow out of the way there appears to be alot of dry weather between Tuesday and next week apart from a few coastal showers.

appledrop

Nice + sunny out but Jaysus its deceptive, its baltic out there + there is a breeze that would cut you in two. Currently only 3 degrees.

Yesterday was pleasant enough for my walk but I think today is a relax at home day and try and get the place in order!

I was just looking at videos of December 2010. The word marginal was not in use back then! With this in mind hopefully that word will disappear again in January. We still have a reasonable chance of that something colder in the New Year.

Fingers crossed because the current cool/cold spell is a bit of a lame duck with not much happening over the next 7 to 10 days. Hopefully we will see interesting charts develop in FI over the next week or two.

SleetAndSnow

Chilly day in cork city. Heavy showers of sleet and hail at times!

Cluedo Monopoly

I had some lovely heavy snow showers while trekking above 200m in Galway.

more light drizzle here in Meath, you had to look into puddles of water to see it.
