Indeed. Really surprising the snow made it all the way to the west

This is how confident I was 2 days ago replying to another poster.

Ah jaysus I’m all over the place now. I don’t know whether to be reading threads, looking out the window at lampposts, refreshing radar data, getting upset about an Easterly that hasn’t brought snow, wondering whether tomorrow might bring the odd streamer or getting super excited about possible snow event from Thurs. Now GL of all people has suggested the possibility of 24hrs continuous snow later in the week & MT mentions 24-36 hour event in the same post as possible comparison to 1982 set-up. But then that could all go pear shaped by the morning & everyone’s upset with everyone again. I need some sleep!!!

Welcome to the rollercoaster my friend. The best part is: its a free ride! :cool:

Moderating influence of the low pressure and its associated occluded front off the southern coast.

certainly not from the donegal postman/weather man.

I heard a "funny" story about the donegal postman. He was burning rubbish outside beside his shed. He went inside his house and when he came back outside the wind direction had changed and his shed had caught fire. For someone who claims to predict the weather months in advance he couldn't predict the wind for 5 minutes. Allegedly..whether its true or not I do not have a clue. Funny though.

My favourite.. 'if the bees are humming loudly in October, it'll be a hard winter'.

Maybe the bees were just in good oul form!

A few hardy flakes have made the journey to central Mayo. Snowing very lightly at present. What a pleasant surprise!

AFAIK nothing out here but I am not planning to go out and check just now...My cats are ferociously hungry with the cold and I might not get back.....intact... lol

I will check …. later. Maybe the far mountains will be ghost-dusted. Maybe the turf fields next door will be softened and graced by a white. soft coverlet. Maybe... in Maybe land all this can happen...

Reading the last few pages here I think snowmadness has set in... lol.. But there we are .

It is bitterly shockingly cold. That is MY certainty. SHIVERS!

Photos from family member show an absolute plastering near coastal Louth.

Drogheda area looks like it's getting a nice bit of snow alright on radar. Should keep going there for a while too. Dundalk looks good too.

It would do. It was written for it.

Tyrone212

Brightest echoes on the radar are south of malin head. Not in the warning area but would imagine there is a covering in places there.

Scuid Mhór

It's pretty cold and my radiator isn't working, but snow will be a nice distraction for a few days from the liminal life we have found for ourselves recently.

Longing

Very odd not to include Cavan in the warnings earlier. Clearly not the right decision.

Kevhog1988

Coming down hard In North kildare. With fair wind too.

Oh I'm in Dunleer and there's nothing! Hmmm

Donegal Ken

North Donegal is the place to be non stop streamers. Looks very heavy also. Pity the Met Éireann webcams are gone from there site only in the last few days too would of had a few from the Malin head cam.

Yes reports of snow on the ground in places up there coming in especially across Culduff.

She looks like she's happy about the prospect of snow, like many of us here..

I've never seen her before, but is she always that wiggly?!:)

I’m 5 mins outside of dunleer and nothing here either, even though it’s showing snow falling all evening on the radar.

hopefully later tonight and tomorrow we will see streamers with the intensity that is currently in the far north of Donegal, those look like the real deal.

Being grapeling here in Dunshaughlin for several hours now and the 'depth' has barely changed. If this was snow rather than graupel we would have a decent covering by now.
