Thick frost here in cork city on the cars tonight, chilly out and a bright moon. As above, been a while since I’ve seen a night like this.

Hope you are right but GFS shows it as rain and having flicked through a good few other models only euro 04 in any way supports snow over low ground (and very patchily) so not a convert yet....

Yeah the Bbc forecast not great for daytime tomorrow, looks like a cold damp/wet day in the north wind.

Haven't seen a frost this hard for a long time. The grass is very crunchy. It'll be interesting to see the grass minima in a few hours.

Lovely day i mean night out.
Temp outside showing -1.5c now, up from -3 earlier. It feels colder now though as theres a slight breeze out now.

Yes indeed, the moon and moolight is just magical this evening and it rose as far to the NE as I have ever seen.

I no longer care if it snows with this image and experience in my heart and mind.

It is the reflection over the wide ocean... Cannot see for tears at the beauty.

Blessing the straying cat as it was so cold I would not have gone outside!

On a practical note; I was able to replenish fuel supplies yesterday and am sure that boardsies are keeping a "weather eye" on old neighbours in this bitter cold.

It really is harsh tonight.

Thank you.

Thinking there may be some snow in south Ulster and north Leinster this morning, then mixtures by mid-day when the showery precip is further south, snow retreating to higher ground but some could still fall briefly at any point, including overnight into early NYD. Hit or miss at best though.

Ninja snow in South Laois this morning. Wasn't expecting that.

There's a band of ppn moving South tomorrow that has snow written all over it!!
Hit or miss but South Midlands looks the sweet spot to me as it does weaken as it moves South.
It deserves a warning far more than last night's affair did.

Sub 528 thickness >
Uppers of -4 / -5
Ppn heavy at times
Offshore wind

I'd lay my last dollar that this one will catch Met Eireann on the hop!!

Snowing in Cork now!!
Nuffield said lol

Supercell

Snowing in Loughlinstown, love the ninja snow!

Humberto Salazar

Flurry stopped now but enough to whiten the grey frost. Need more to make a snowball though, my criteria for a measurable fall...the cloud has risen the temp to just around freezing from - 2.

munsterlegend

I confirm snow in North Cork near Mallow. Ninja snow.

Lovely snow shower in Cork city at 8am.

Photo taken from my house of the snow clouds over Dublin. Looks light though. But delighted for anyone that is getting it. Actually that's Bray but I assume same weather affecting Sandyford
