I just whispered to myself 'I love snow' while standing looking out the window. Hopefully none of the family saw me!

The Met Office/Netweather radars are very different to the Met E one for a front once again.

For the 6/7th of January frontal event the radar to use was Met E. The UK ones seem to have a lot of extra precip on the leading edge of these fronts.

Could this be a rare case where Galway got just a little bit more snow than Mayo? Don't worry, nature will address that imbalance in its own time. Easing up here again now anyhow.

I just looked out the window again!! It has gotten quite heavy and it's sticking like goodo. Time to go out and enjoy it for a bit!!

Jaysus I’d love if we got something like that this winter again.

Must be starting then. Twill be cold enough for it. Radar has it over us for a while now but it isn't reflected at ground level. Better check again.

It was typical Atlantic slop in my garden, the type that disappears when you step on it. Only snow worthwhile getting here needs to come from the North or East.

Raining with a small bit of sleet in cork city really and not expecting anything else, around 1.9 degrees.

Edit: a woman just slipped outside on the footpath so looks like the floor is icy, must be freezing when it hits the ground.

Would agree. The met.ie rain forecast app does have sleet for 5am to 8am and has a snow symbol for this time tomorrow night for an hour but think our chance came and went. A nw aspect to the front rather than pure westerly might have helped. Most of our snow comes from that direction. We get more of a land track that way in Cork. Knife edge for East coast, ye need to get the precipitation there intact first, then its in the lap of the gods as to what falls. Could really work out though if the stars align for ye.

Down to -1.3c here near Arklow despite the cloud
That doesn't happen often

Wetbulb is -1.6c
Dewpoint is -4.6c

Slightly within parameters at the moment here I would think

Why has radar lots of precipitation over Sligo but theres nothing. Its dry. And the phantom precipitation has nearly cleared if it was rain it wouldnt show and it would be lashing here

Went for a walk, lashing rain, not even sleet really. Some of the ice from today is still on the paths, it's pretty deadly. If that freezes there'll be no one move tomorrow morning, glad it's a Sunday.

Raining away in Cork still.
Just goes to show uppers are vital and they were the one missing ingredient!!

Back up to 2.2c, those showers dropping nothing but a rainy sleety mess. Need some big showers to get the snow going.

I used GL'S coin method- there is well over a inch on the ground now. jeez if we could get 3 or 4 hours out of this there would be a really good covering!

TheMilkyPirate

Down to 0.9c now. Band seems to be turning increasingly to snow as it heads east hopefully it stays intact

madalig12

None during the day today but plenty from last night high up in Letterkenny

Yep Atlantic fronts always the same down here. Need an easterly or north easterly.

Probably not that great a method for situations like this. Celbridge, tomorrow morning...:pac:

The crunch underfoot ðŸ˜

Fantastic to see the white gold in Galway. Will there be snow showers all night or is this the peak?

RedPeppers

Had about an hour of heavy snow that's just eased off here in north galway.
