Looks very dry in Cardiff for the match

You would imagine an Easterly wouldn't favour them at all unless the low makes it that far.

2.9c/-1.2c @ Howth (Down from 3.3c an hour a go)

Graupel in Dublin 4, melts quite quickly on the ground. Ground temps probably a few C above 0.

Dry as a bone in Offaly, cold wind and a dropping temp of 3.1C. Nice early spring day.

just back from my walk, it really is bitter out there. Some random snow grains and ice pellets blowing around in the wind.

Pics?

I would need to be a very professional photographer with incredibly expensive variation of lens and cameras to try and take a picture of them. They are random pin head sized flakes and ice pellets. They are blowing around in the wind more than anything else and you have to be outside for a few minutes to even notice them.

Not meant to snow here... temperature starting to drop.. all animals birds gone quiet..sky full of a blanket of low grey cloud...mountains dissappearing into a veil of grey...errie silence.. maybe we will after all due to geographical situation get some localised showers....but of what!
Thankfully I am not still renting the 100+ year old house will no insulation where I recorded -12c+ about 10 years ago....that was crazy... I would have been better off in an igloo. Blankets on top of curtains... carpet over exposed water pipes... radiator moved to keep others above freezing under the sink... ice on the inside of the windows...huge fireplace with crane going 24/7 and burning the knees sitting so close...the bed layered about a foot with duvets and skeeping bags..fingers cut off gloves for the cats feet...breaking water in cups in the washing basin in the morning...enough static electricity I thought I start a fire...hair raising.. thankfully had a friend home from Alaska to give advise.

Stocked up so not too worried about this cold snap..only to keep an eye out for neighbours and with everything going on at the moment that is more important than ever.

Please CHECK ON YOUR NEIGHBOURS especially those who are elderly or younger if they live alone and have health issues..if things do kick off a bit worse than expected localy especially later on in the week.... thanks.

Same on my walk in Dublin 15

Wet-bulbs at 3 pm. Light sleet reported at Dublin Airport.



Snow depths fairly meagre in England. Just the odd station reporting anything to measure.

Wet bulbs hanging on in there...

Don’t expect much today.

Gonzo

I say it will be tomorrow evening or night before we start getting dustings, then maybe some light to maybe moderate coverings in places on Tuesday before it goes quiet again on Wednesday.

Reminder of the frigid air over us this week!!
We don't see this every year, likely 0 to 1C best on Wednesday

at this point, this is my 5th snow grain shower since about 2pm... different intensities but interesting to see this happening way earlier than I thought.

Still don't think much of anything very good will happen until Monday evening here but then again I was surprised this afternoon already. :rolleyes::D

There was some heavy snow at a racecourse(Musselburgh) in the East of Scotland a while ago. I'd love to see snow like that on Thursday:)

Is that you grace?

Just joking. Have lived in similar and with ice on the inside of single pane glass windows and wearing everything plus a wooly hat to bed. Didnt help the next nearest landmass was Iceland
