Snow watch until Sunday 24th (N,W,SW most at risk)

Gonzo

looks like were done here for the night. Turned out better than expected but not too far from reality. About 1cm to 1.2cm here, enough to make a small snowman. Skies are clearing here now so hopefully the drip sounds will stop and a frost with keep the snow intact for tomorrow.

After a solid four hours at +0.2c here in S. Laois, the wind has switched SSW and dragged in slightly milder air from Kilkenny.

+0.8c now

Those wild wind (and hence temp) changes are giving me a headache this evening in West Clare. Often occurs here too on frosty nights.

All over the place here this evening, the range since just midnight is +4.1c to +1.7c.

Galway city getting a dusting now, ground getting white despite the wet, hovering about 0 to -1 degrees, would suspect it's only a short flurry in which case the ground will recover but may freeze on other surfaces

Looking at the loop, it seems this system is coming together (rolling ashore) in Galway bay. Interesting.

Also looks like the band off the Irish Sea will dissipate to wales, don’t see it piling back onto the east coast

Though the centre of the lp will likely be around the se of the country during the morning so it is possible for something piling back into the east.

Heavy hail shower now in West Clare, currently 2.2 degrees, streets coated white.

I don't think the band exiting the east coast was ever envisaged as returning ashore, I think the east coast will get showers and more organised bands of precipitation as soon as this low sinks SEwards and peps up an Irish sea shower train, its all about the low's northern flank for east-coasters now.

Looking at the rader it looks like the low atm is around east connacht?

Same story here, snowing steady for the past 2 hours now. Models were miles off with how far north the precip would get

ongarboy

I've never seen such a uniform temperature across large swathes of the country as at 2am. It's practically 0C everywhere!

Gremlinertia

Stopped a few minutes ago, ground snow thawing quickly, galway city east

Good to hear. How deep is the snow there?

Models and radar miles off. Is there anywhere I can see a radar that's accurate. I got 0.2mm of light mist from this event in Sligo n 0.2c temperature too.

As bad as 2018 if not worse

Gaoth Laidir

Got a slight top-up here in Celbridge but still <1 cm. Casement didn't report any hourly snow depth but Dublin Airport did.

Midnight - 0 cm
1 am - 2 cm
2 am - 2 cm
3 am - 1 cm
4 am.- 1 cm

How is this coming along?

Gaoth Laidir

Snow depths at 4 am. The Met Éireann stations (apart from the airports) don't report snow depth but the NI ones do (automated).

NIMAN

Zero precipitation in North Donegal tonight (well at least in my locality).

nacho libre

No snow since it stopped at 10 pm. It was foggy for the last couple of hours, which has now cleared.

ninebeanrows

I wonder will we see anything return to east?

Roads are treacherous out, slushy melting snow has now frozen

Main routes look ok though

Galway Traffic: Clifden impassable due to snow

Netweather radar is best for my location. Met office probably the worst lately. Met eireann has improved but not as good as netweather for me at least.

pistolpetes11

Fairly poor sprinkling in Newbridge , has pretty much melted off the roads , and a sugar dusting on the grass

That blob of the Irish Sea seems as if it might push back into the Dublin region especially North Dublin....

davidsr20

Nice little coating here east Galway.

The activity in the Irish Sea is definitely pepping up now and moving back into North Dublin area soon. There could be snow in an hour or so in the east.

Snowing heavily around Newry and Lisburn close to Belfast.

DOCARCH

No snow evident this morning in Dublin 16 (despite light snow falling last night for at least 30 minutes).

Eyes down now to see what the Irish Sea might produce.

Woke up to fog here with temps hovering around zero. No real sign of melt yet which I am surprised to see but 'compacting' in evidence.
