ok 4.15am snowing again and 'sticking' even on the coast(wicklow) at lower levels Id imagen a couple of miles inland has a fair dusting by now.

I'm a couple miles north of Wicklow town. Got 1.5mm precipitation overnigt. It has practically all thawed, though I can see a 5mm "drift"

A fantastic hale around the moon. Can see snow on the hills and some cloud to my north. Soe radar echoes ove rthe mountains but can't see those clouds.

Earthman is probably digging out his cows, or getting out his upstairs windows. I think he has had th biggest dumping.

Plenty echoes over the sea. Looks like a good line of showers through Louth into Meath.

Temp is lowest of night at =1.0C Dewpoint just below 0C and grass temp is now falling, down to -1C. Wind is variable.

Good deep powdery cover here 15 miles south of mothman and still snowing!!

road here is completely white with hard packed snow,if I had school I wouldnt be going

And as of last night the n11 wasn't treated,I'll bet theres war this morning about that

What a load of guff eh

One lousy 3 minute light hail shower at 6am was all the
precip i got all night :eek: :rolleyes:

billy the squid

said on RTE one that the sally gap is closed.

Mothman

Cloud moving over from north. Don't see any precipitation. A bizarre white cloud to my SW. Looks like white emulsion paint. I wonder if its something to do with lying snow.

Mothman

Looks like I'm just about to be hit. Shower approaching from north. Hopefully it won't slide off to my west.

ninebeanrows

Well i think the next 36-38hrs could be sensational plenty
of periods of snow possible as the cold spell swings into gear.

Already talk in Britain of drifting snow through Northwest England
and Wales, the frontal band is expected to affect areas in the
east tomorrow.

First this active cold fron approaching from North England

Mothman

Hail. Looks heavy to my north.

Sally and Wicklow gap closed and N11 is bad in places with overturned lorry on newtown'kennedy bypass.

Ground is white now with this hail shower.

ninebeanrows

Gone below freezing here now.. -0.3c
Variable cloud with something more threatening
to my east

Mothman

It's already stopped

I think the bulk of it did pass to my west.

This is unreal, you would want to see the snow falling in tullow at the moment, heavy very heavy, I could see it coming and it didn't disappoint.

We'll have over 3 inches soon, just not sure how long it will last. The footprints I made half an hour ago are covered back over again.

Lafortezza

Hail in Dublin Airport at about 0645, heavy shower for about 10 minutes. Nothing else fell really tonight, small amount of sleet.

snowing lightly again here now and very black clouds to my east - looks like that will be here shortly.The whole place just looks like a winter wonderland


Temp just below 0 wcheck if you dont see heavy snow showers today I'll eat my hat

AlienGav

Weathercheck!! There's about 2cm of snow in walkinstown, Dublin!
Excellent predictions, you the man!

I can ski to college now and not look like a prat! :cool:

ninebeanrows

Snowing hard in central Dublin although the heat from the city
is making sure it doesnt stick like earlier..

very heavy snow falling now settling well on top of the stuff that fell overnight

ninebeanrows

I'll laugh it off but all this is making me go mad :eek: :mad:
Temperature -0.6 with perhaps a light shower approaching
to my east

Villain

The shower in tullow is unreal, I haven't seen snow like this since the 90's. Huge flakes falling and the sky is grey all around. This is amazing.

ninebeanrows

Anotehr shower slips away south..

Anger is turning to fury :eek:

Mothman

Whiteout
That hail resterted and has now turned to snow which is getting heavier. Sticking quite well. Getting close to one cm lying.
Temp +1c. Dewppint at 0C

Just got light now, but no clearance in sight.

Mothman

It may be sticking , but it is thawing as well.

ninebeanrows

:eek: Honestly this is just an absolute joke!!

AlienGav

Good strong snow shower in Wakinstwn now! Bring it on!

Report from the world of To Be Confirmed:
Yesterday was a bit of a non-event, the precipitation that did hit louth was almost always hailstones/frozen rain.

Did very well Monday morning, snowed for 7 hours flat in some shape or form, stopped at 1pm. Melted by 3 pm:(

I woke up this morning (1 hr ago) to see a whiteout with 2 inches of snow!! It snowed further and it's now approaching 3 inches! Anymore and I could have a day off, because living in a hilly area makes for very dangerous driving. I dont remember depths like this since 2001, when my primary school was officialy closed:D and the roads further up the road had to be cleared with a bulldozer :eek: Snow has just stopped, leaving 3 inches in its wake:) Fingers crossed I wont have to go to school And more to come!!

ninebeanrows

Snowing about 1 mile south of here..yet nothing :eek:

Mothman

has stopped snowing. Now clear to my north. Thaw continues.

Completely closed in all round here now and very dull-snowing heavily :eek:
