Cold Spell - Feb 7th to 13th 2021 - Chat

Seems like the approaching front dragged some warm air in from the Atlantic. My temp increased from 0.1C to 2.5C. Back down to 1C now, hence the more defined flakes

SleetAndSnow

We really are getting a mix of everything in Cork today. Was raining 10 mins ago, then snow, then sleet, then a hail shower, some graupel, back to sleet, back to snow and now drizzle. Add gusts of wind to that too

very heavy again now claregalway

According to radar the front has begun passing over us here in wexford Town but we've zero precipitation at all.. Am I wrong in assuming this front doesn't hold as much moisture as previously shown by forecasts??

Also seems to be similar to the previous three days, windy with high cloud, strong wind and no precipitation??
Temp currently 2.5

A nothing comment really.

Even if you did, good luck catching a flight. None to be found.

Was thinking this....sorry for posting a weather post in......a weather forum !?!? Anyways, back to the snow reporting

konman

Light to moderate snow, starting to stick from the start. Still some snow cover on the north side of tuam from the brief streamer on Tuesday morning.
5k south of Tuam.

This was about as exciting as things got, a wet, miserable slushy mix, mid Cork 200m ASL. Well, think it's time to start looking forward to Summer :pac:

Raining in cork city.

Throw some milk up in the air and it might look like snow as it falls back down

Radar picks up precipitation not reaching the ground
Common in snow
So you're all good
Please keep us updated

Slush is all we have in South Kilkenny disappointingly.

Snow sticking readily here. There really is something special about watching snow build up during daylight hours.
Outside Westport on the coast.

Only windy in Athlone so far.

redsteveireland

What's falling is light but settling on most surfaces in Athenry. Wind blowing it all around.

It's just not cold enough nor does it look like getting cold enough tbh. Thursday and Friday will be wet, windy and generally horrible and that's about the height of it.

This was more accurate than most

Looking at the radar sequence, there are a few funnies going on. There's interference or some sort or error occurring intermittently. Going back in time a short period to a radar return that looks correct, it would seem that the precipitation has not reached Wexford town yet.

In any case, for Wexford town I would expect falling but not sticking snow as being the best case scenario if/when the precipitation reaches you.

Not really settling in Oranmore, if the wind dies down there might be a chance

Lucked out here!

Blizzard like conditions, vicious gusts, west mayo

The west getting hammered this morning... East not so much

Chicken Run

East Clare / South Galway blowing huge flakes in all directions - had to bring ponies in...sticking like a good 'un !!!

Front has slowed. Hit a brick wall.

I still refuse to give up hope..... and I reckon I will eventually admit defeat around Monday(ish)

This is why snow beats stupid rain. Nothing here yet in north Dublin but I’m enjoying the pictures. Anything to make the lockdown easier, and add interest to the day.

(I could work I suppose, but let’s not go crazy).

Fragmenting as it pushes northeastwards. Not looking good for the Dubs..

No shortage of moisture here sadly! As above we've had rain, hail, sleet, graupel, wet snow and dry snow - the one think we haven’t had is any dryness! Your only concern is that the entire county of Cork sponges up too much of everyone else's moisture!
