    Just drove from Sligo to Ballyshannon and heavy sleet, grapple and hail from outside of Sligo to whole way down. Road turning white towards Donegal. Can't attach video so will attach screen grab

    So it looks like the action really kicks off after midnight here. There are currently clear skies at the moment but no frost unfortunately, so hopefully when the showers come they will be exclusively of snow and stick straight away. We could have a decent covering in that scenario.

    Hail in Galway. It does feel 'snowy' but we need to lose a couple of degrees to hit the sweet spot I think.

    What are they doing in the Hyacinth House?

    Plenty of showers approaching, a few sferics along with those hail showers in Donegal now.

    Want out in Sligo for a walk and wind chill would cut you in 2. Its unfortunate how many of those showers are missing us. The direction of them ain't good for here. Galway Mayo and Donegal could do ok in places. Maybe Tubbercurry and Ballymote in Sligo as all the flakes will stick there. A couple of cms possible in these areas. Donegal could get 5cm.

    Your house is probably 24 degree no wonder you found it cold.

    I have to say, I'm really surprised that even I'm getting frequent shower activity here in South Dublin. Shower rolls in every 10-20 mins or so!

    A proper snow shower here now to the east of Castlebar. Falling on a foundation of hail and graupel that fell about 20 minutes ago.

    Hoping for a right flurry of snow in Castlebar tonight myself. Nothing in between will do.! Otherwise I'm on the road to work at 6am in the morning.😭

    Showers gathering now out west. Many areas will get at least a dusting overnight but the nature of showers is hit and miss of course.

    Dublin/Wicklow mountains most likely.

    More than 50 percent of showers now have swung by Sw to NE with very little push SE bar the final part of the system around 5am. Then by 9am it will be 4c and rising so if anyone wants snow to play with get up at daybreak or before.

    I think it's two stations, each -1, where the screen has placed one over part of the other so it looks like -11. My take anyway.....

    Yeah, right now it's hard to see any precipitation, of any kind, in Munster with the current angle of attack showing on the radar.

    Just rain here outside Newport. Heard a few hail pellets hit the window but only lasted a minute and nothing stuck. Not holding much hope this close to the coast.

    A dusting here too. Hopefully I wake up to a nice covering. It will more than likely be the last of this winter.
