Mr Bumble

2 hours of moderate snow 5k inland from Greystones and it's only now heavy enough to stick. Tracks are from snow plough going up our hill which is as rare a thing as I've ever seen and probably means rain not far away. Decent lad to be up at this hour in grim weather tbf.
Roundwood and further inland must be getting walloped

Lightly snowing.
Firhouse Dublin 24

It appears to be wet snow but just dry enough to accumulate and make a drift against the front (east facing) wall of the house. 0.5c atm.

I thought it was all over for me but it is snowing heavily again with much larger flakes now.

A nice dusting in Firhouse Dublin 24.

In shadow here still. Light sleet/snow.

Nanometer of crunchy snizz on the patio here in north Kildare, everywhere else wet and gross, although I am surprised by the depth of cold, it’s freezenuts out there.

circadian

Very gusty with light sleet here in D9.

Lucreto

That Gif last night with the Kildare snow shield was accurate. Strong gusts but no snow.

I was hoping to walk in it this morning.

theunforgiven

Decent covering in North Meath. Front garden grass pretty much covered and the estate is white.
Very windy all night and I think it's lashing sleet/rain..can't be sure..I'm in bed listening to it hit the windows. 😂

Disappointing effort here and temperatures in Howth are on the rise. The fat lady is clearing her throat

Nothing in lucan, down the road is white.

North Wexford 100m asl

Light dusting of snow. Will pop up the local hill after breakfast to see how much is there.

light rain or sleet here now.

carltonleon

A few flurries in Swords but pretty much melting on impact. The wind is biting cold though, even the doggo thought twice about going out this morning. It’s a Strong wind as well

DOCARCH

Snow has gone fine/small flakes in Dublin 16. 0.5c atm. Wind is pretty ferocious....some very strong gusts!

brianthomas

Very strong gusts here in Clondalkin, Dublin but nothing in terms of snow. Looks to be a little left of the windscreens so something fell at some stage but winds are crazy out there at the min. Was hoping to wake up to a covering of sorts but not to be I guess.

Whiteout conditions

Chong

Just rain in Swords ;(

If you look at the radar runs, you will see a hole develop in the precipitation and me and you are in it :mad:

Gaoth Laidir

There is a wet thin layer of something on the roof of the car now but nowhere else (Celbridge). Not sure what that layer was earlier but it doesn't look like there was much here.

I see Casement reported light rain and sleet right through the night and Dublin sleet, apart from one report of snow around 5 am. Reported depth there was and is <0.5 cm of <50% coverage. Elsewhere, depths in Ulster are 2 cm at Thomastown and 1 cm at Lough Fea.

ninebeanrows

Lots of snow up in Louth by the looks of the webcams,

Lots of Dublin, Kildare missing out but a good bit of snow around

RobertKK

I’m getting a heavy sleety snow mix but I think it will be raining in an hour or so.
The snow on the ground isn’t melting yet but maybe it will be mostly gone by 10am.

Just want it gone at this point. A horrible mess. We were very unlucky with rain shadow.

King of Spades

Went to sleep a few hours ago to blizzard conditions and fast accumulating snow in central Meath but woken up just now by heavy rain on the window. Still a good bit of snow on the ground and it had started drifting but won’t be around for long with this rain.
