    Ballycullen, heavy at first but went back to moderate. Sticking easily. Roads have a good pasting but seems to be turning to rain 100m asl.

    The models picked this up about 48 hours ago right? I remember you posting charts and thinking "nahhh, way to far out."

    Kinda incredible really.

    Snowed away for a while north wicklow / south dublin, basically sea level, anything that stuck is gone now. Grounds soaked from it so I'd imagine the morning will be a bit iffy with the black ice

    Some very decent coverings there.

    After a good start, this fizzled out for my area. Doesn't really bode well for over the weekend as the cold pool won't exactly deepen so any switchbacks in the wind to more NE'rly Sat/Sun probably won't fall in my favour again, especially seeing as we had offshore winds tonight which gave us the best chance - though it was a close thing!

    Drizzly rain continuing here in D9, occasionally turns to something more wintry but the sticking snow has passed, for now.

    A right mix of wintry conditions over the next few days . Snow showers , freezing rain, hail , some isolated thunderstorms possible tomorrow into Sat, fog and freezing fog becoming more evident inland.

    Went down to -1.9C here near Tralee tonight and paths are icy around the house being still damp after this mornings rain and fog. I see rain is expected here again early tomorrow morning but might be able to get to school and work before it arrives, an early commute before the traffic starts I reckon.

    With the low day time temperatures roads will only get worse over the coming days, talking to a bus driver that got a skid today and he saw a truck skid too, got away without damage so lucky.

    Very wet snow in Stepaside. Much warmer than earlier. Clearing sky now to make it nice and crunchy for the morning.

    Flakes the size of dinner plates fell here in D24. Was glorious 🙌

    Really heavy shower around 10.30 and left a decent covering. Stopped the last 10 minutes or so

    Raining away now unfortunately as I've arrived back into Bray. Slim margins, 10 mins up the road slightly higher they've had a decent covering

    I'm closer than that to the coast and also have a decent covering, I'm D14 side of UCD so usually fairly exposed to the sea effects vs further inland Dublin. A mix of snow and graupel here, the snow is fairly wet but stuck to every surface. Back to just a few flakes falling now.

    Very impressed with the high-res models, will be keeping a close eye on them for streamer potential.

    Great start to the cold spell anyway! I would say it bodes well for the weekend/next week.

    Latest Buoy Reports - Met Éireann - The Irish Meteorological Service Online

    At 10pm the M2 Buoy is reporting winds backing more towards the northeast, bodes well for more of the east coast. It was 13deg at 9pm, then 33deg.

    Great to see snow even just for the hour or so. Nice to look out at.

    Heavy again now in D24!

    Proper decent flakes, going to be an interesting drive in the morning 😁

    Sky overhead is full of snow as well so I'd imagine more to come

    Snowing heavily here now a few km east of Roundwood. Temp up to -0.3c. Looks like we caught a streamer as the radar is empty a few km south.

    A magical hour of snowfall in Stillorgan. Huge flakes. The inner child had a great time.

    The adult in me is not looking forward to the early start and 5 hour drive ahead of me tomorrow morning down south, my car is not really suitable for ice and snow conditions. Praying the gritting is done well.

    I'm always amazed of the difference in a hundred miles.

    Absolutely lovely here in Clare, bit cold but nothing major.

    What?

    There will be about 2 cms of lying snow in Dublin and Kildare and dry and frosty on gritted roads beyond that.

    Nobody should be changing any journey plans tomorrow, just leave some extra time to allow for the generally poor standard of driving in poor weather in Ireland.

    Come to think of it, its poor in good weather too.
