    Cold rain with a slight sleet mix in Tullamore. Everywhere is soaked. Horrible.

    Anyone in Athlone to verify the light snow report from the automated station at Custume Barracks at 9 am? It was raining all morning with temp/dp 2/1 but the 9 am report had it as snow.

    METAR EIAC 310900Z AUTO 12009KT 9000 -SN OVC007/// 02/01 Q0995=

    EDIT Now light sleet at 0930, though temperature has fallen to 1.

    Pretty much full on sleet here now. But rain, sleet or snow, this weather is repulsive.

    Sent the drone up a few minutes ago. 100% pure rain at my elevation of just under 90m. 50m higher and it's pure snow. Staggering!

    Yes, this sounding for your location for right now shows just how marginal it is.

    Thats my biggest pet peeve with these threads. People giving a weather report and not saying the location.

    Currently just rain here. 4 miles east of Athenry, Galway.

    I'm in Leixlip and there was a sleety mix threatening to turn to snow but back to rain now.

    Edit: few flakes in the rain now, weather really can't make up it's mind

    The rain has transitioned to sleet but below is the video I took from the drone a short while ago. At the time of flying it was 100% rain at ground level (just under 90m ASL). In the video, there was snow falling to as low as 30m above me!!!

    Snowing still Offaly but dewpoint crept up to 0 from - 0.2.fractional but it makes all the difference. This will probably turn back to rain in an hour.

    Just think of every possible type of precip and you'll probably get some of that today. Made some edits to details in today's forecast as it appears the mixing elevations are going to be somewhat lower, basically the effect of this nasty mix will be to leave a slushy mess on roads and paths, caution advised -- heavy snow could fall on higher routes, the sticking snow will likely be at least 200m and in some areas 250-300m above sea level.

    I would feel right at home after a week of similar nasty mixtures around here, it is what it is.

    Yep, got up early for work this morning and it felt the coldest day this winter. Was 1 degree and felt far colder than the mornings hopping in the car at -4 or -5.

    That "humid" cold is horrible, get into your bones.

    Nice. Maybe the weather gods got sick of reading the last couple of pages.

    It's chilly up at Howth weather station

    2.3/1.0

    That's cold with that breeze in from the sea but not cold enough, I'd expect nice bit of snow over the Dublin/Wicklow hills
