Sussex Jules

Some snow in shower that just went through the higher hills round here have a dusting of snow from earlier.

Oh it's amazing compared to what I'm used to. Well when it's not cloudy!

Two black dogs at the ready. Any tiny flakes should show up well!

Having only recently moved to Ireland in the past 6 months have yet to experience real winter weather here yet. looking forward to radar watching with you guys. Streetlights don't exist out here in the sticks and haven't got round to getting the security lights sorted so torch will be at the ready for flake watch.

Must admit it does look very interesting especially for further north of the island but even down here in the hills of Clare.

East Clare reporting in. Snowing here, had a lot of rain overnight but it's settling on the car and vegetation just not heavy enough for the tarmac.

Good luck for the white stuff everyone. Not very hopeful down here in Clare but driving up to Sligo on Sunday so may catch a glimpse.

Met Eireann have awoken from their slumber http://www.met.ie/nationalwarnings/default.asp Was reading the social media this morning and all that was saying was that Monday was going to be windy, nothing like the Daily Express headlines. I'm about 45 mins from Shannon airport with good access to M18 if anyone wants board and lodging!

Have seen very little in Irish media about this. Ireland going to get caught unaware or is it just being hyped up too much. Thankfully sheltered here from the South although from the South West wind could get funnelled up the valley.

Couple of rumbles and some big fat rain drops which meant had to dash out and rescue furniture that had been left out overnight. Wasn't expcting to receive anything today hence leaving stuff out overnight. Second shower just come through a bit heavier and a flash just now.

Hey guys just lurking in here, currently living in East Sussex but just starting the process of moving over to Co Clare. Hope it's ok to lurk in here from time to time. Good luck all for tomorrow

Good morning fellow Shammer. Can guarantee we'll get something as I'm having new turf laid tomorrow. Can see me hosing off the snow to make sure the turf gets it's daily water quota.

I always thought that Hants belonged in South East thread. Welcome to the mad house!!

Hi guys Do any of you know where I can find what sort of climate is usual in an area in Eire? Currently thinking about a move to Co Clare and know what West Clare is like was wondering if it was much different in East or North East Clare.

Just been issued. Anyone got a boat handy?!

Gone very dark and lots of flashes and rumbles
