Snow Watch: Ireland

[johnny1972]

Well, im on the coast and im tellin yeh there was real snow here. The beeb and the MO don't care about Ireland (of course they can't forcast south of the border but anyway) - they never forcast accurately here. It's England centric.

Couldnt agree more - my sentiments exactly ! I hope NI/Ireland at some point this month gets the mother of all snowstorms that'll make the snow in England look like a dusting ! OOO ive just woke up and had my cornflakes - must have been a dream lol !

It continues and the stuff falling in Dub now is the purest you will ever see. Can't wait for the heavy stuff later.

[The Eagle]

Snow again here - purest in years - it's the real deal though still light.

Had first proper snow shower, disappointingly wet.

Lay but melting now.

Temp is 1.9c and Dp -0.5

Should be lower than that! GULP

blizzard of snow grains now!

[Matty M]

We are having a mix of heavy fluffy snow and heavy snow grains.

Leading to a wetness on the tarmac.

A small covering on cars and grass

Just started to snow at around 330

But heavy snow grains = wet tarmac if not filled up!

Temp has fallen to 0.9c since the snow started falling = good

[Matty M]

Stopped snowing and snow seems to be slowly melthing.

Some shower trains just off the coast going by radar

[The Eagle]

Saw the snow (hint of hail at times) but yeah stuck to grass and cars.

[trogdor]

Nothing here, although the temp is rising worryingly fast . Up from 1.9C half an hour ago to 3.4C now

[Globe]

Looks like any other winter morning here in Lusk... cold and wet outside!

[minus86BriJ]

its been belting it down here for 20 mins with a little light snow in between. All surfaces are covered. I havent seen this for years!

[Matty M]

My dusting on grass,cars and bits is beginning to melt i need a top up!!

[The Eagle]

Couple of flakes here but waitin for another shower.

[Globe]

Bucketing down here now!

[John Cox]

Good covering here in Palmerstown. Radar looking good.

Woke up to a couple of cm's here. Going into town for college now- I se on the webcams that snow has actually stuck there too which is very rare.
