Ireland Regional Discussions 17th January 2013 onwards

[The Eagle]

Atlantic well and truly back in by the end of next week unfortunately. Very confident now of breakdown to milder conditions with southwesterly winds and quite a bit of rain possible.

[snowydog]

Quite heavy Graupel shower here in Castlereagh .. ground is covered, snow mixed in (some big flakes)

[ronan]

Band of precip heading over the IOM towards us. Hopefully tomorrow showers merge to give some longer spells of snow. Hopefully I get to see some snow as it could be the last of the winter but who knows what February will bring us!

[Sparky72]

Ah well just seen cecelia on BBC breakfast. No snow this direction today either.

[mountain shadow]

Moderate snow at the moment, hopefully see more throughout the day.

[cold snap]

Light snow in Dublin cc

After waiting nearly 72 hours for the temp to drop we are finally in the game , however it's not settling particularly well

[grimrosco]

It is in Clonee now. Around a centimetre and still coming down

[Baltic Regions]

Forgot to mention we had thunder snow on Saturday Night. Fourth time ever seeing this. Impressive!

Snowing again here and more on the way by the look of the radar.

[snowydog]

Snowing here ... Building up the strength to shower after having the chills and sore throat all night. Not well at all but have to go in for meetin. Looking forward to the drive in the snow. Hopefully it continues all morning.

[markok]

[Rocheydub]

Snowing moderately here, not sticking though.

[mountain shadow]

Snowing heavily in Carryduff when i left for work

[Gentiana]

Beautiful snow here in Wicklow this morning. Moderately heavy atm. Big proper snowflakes, settling heavily on trees. A heavy shower at 8am added another 3cms. Getting heavier again now.

[ronan]

Not expecting much today if anything but it is snowing lightly at the minute in Derry.

[The Cashel Cockney]

Snowing here in South Tipp!

[gingercat]

Heavy snow in Glengormley co Antrim. Accumulation of 5-6 inches so far

[patneve]

Just had a graupel and wet snow shower. Temp 1.6, upper NE wind but surface winds blowing from the W (bodes well for snow). Another hefty shower or two and it shoud snow at sea level

[SMU]

Seriously? I was in Castlereagh hills - was snowing, but not really too heavy, not lying much ...

Now I'm in North Belfast and it's like sleet

Looks like a lot of precipitation. I'm don't think it will fall as snow on low ground though. It was snowing early this morning in Newtonabbey but now has turned to light rain.

[BornFromTheVoid]

Snow in Cork overnight, a covering on bins, roofs, cars, etc., nothing on the roads though. Sleeting at the moment.

[johnny1972]

Well as per the rest of this so called cold spell it is raining here on the east coast near Donaghadee. The odd bit of sleet and blowing a gale. For me a massively hyped cold spell that hasn't delivered at all here. No lying snow, no frosts, nothing. I know some have done well but it is nothing compared to previous years ie 2010 when streamers and frontal snow deposited 8 inches here. So far another very disappointing winter.

[mountain shadow]

Nothing at work in Moira however my childminder confirms that Carryduff is getting mullered.
