Same here, 2nd dusting this season. What is notable is that in the last 30 years I'd be aware of the weather it has snowed here once or twice in December, to such an extent i thought until last year it would never happen again, yet twice this year, never mind last years massive event,

One other thing, it's only a dusting, but I have often found that snow kicks off at dawn, has to have something to do with the sun rising and a tiny lift of air somehow triggers it, anyone else notice that? Early morning and you see a few flakes, then as the sun rises it starts to get heavy?

Very happy to see it anyway, looks very festive out there :smilz38:

Lad to hear that some of you have snow this morning! Nothing at all in Derry but there is sleet in Antrim at the minute.

That should have said glad! Stupid predictive text!

It's trying it's hardest to snow in Antrim now! A bit of elevation would do the job!

[ronan]

Moderate snow now in Antrim so at least I'm seeing something!

[jello]

Snowing in Antrim, Heavyish. Sticking on cars

[jello]

Heavy here now in Antrim. Going white

Very icy roads and paths in Cork this morning. A few sprinkles of snow on grassy areas and cars.

On the boards.ie weather feather forum, someone mentioned a pic in the Irish Star yesterday of impassible roads with a few feet of snow near Coleraine! Could frostyjoe have been telling the truth all along!!!?

[stormforce 10]

a good fall of snow here in roscommon overnight. a good inch of snow laying on the ground.

[gingercat]

Very heavy snow here, but ground too wet for it to lie.

[stormforce 10]

snow melting quick now, very little left, a slushy mess.

[ForeverPomeroysnow]

A bit of snow here this morning, freezing hard atm looking like a cold night for visiting Santa with the weans :smilz38:

[ronan]

Roads are like a bottle here!! Current temps is 1 degrees! Had a shower there and was surprised that it wasn't snow as its so cold!

[A Winter's Tale]

Currently a band of "stuff" over Ireland. The question is, "Is it Snowing!?

[stormforce 10]

lashin rain here. if skies clear roads will be treacherous.

[BIG LAD]

very cold day here. max of 1.7c. snow hasnt melted away from the sun and now refroze. temp got down to -1.1c earlier but cloud has rolled in and temp up to 0.6c with dew point of -1.2c

[Juuyoku]

Its just raining here too. Im surprised it didn't snow as well, absolutely freezing! Frost had well set in by 6pm!

[mountain shadow]

Unfortunately as the cloud moves over the temperatures. Hard frost here already, might get a few flakes.

One year ago tonight was my best memory of last year. The cold front pushed down through the early evening introducing -10oC upper air. Once it dug it in, it soon started building massive prolonged heavy snow showers.

I remember looking at the radar and seeing the massive blobs and feeling elated that it was all snow. Brilliant night.

[BIG LAD]

temps have risen to 1.7c under the cloudcover and frost has lifted. no precip.
