Yer right Ronan a really raw day

[Rocheydub]

At home today and it was 8 degrees, but we were out in the afternoon, north of Ashbourne for a few hours, the temp dropped, and it belted snow for about 10 mins… Was lovely to see! 

 

Back home now, and it's 5 degrees, but feeling raw in the wind.

Sleet and rain today, though I was in Cork most of the day for my graduation ceremony. Hopefully the chilly weather early next week remains in the models so I can some snowy hiking done.

Soon focus will be shifting toward conditions for the eclipse too!

[ForeverPomeroysnow]

Yes Born, really looking forward to that, please weather Gods be kind for the eclipse

[ronan]

Things looking good for snow Monday into Tuesday. Better uppers etc. Fingers crossed anyway!

[Abyss]

Yes Ronan. Talk in the model thread of this being the most potent pm blast of the season. However they said the same for the last amber warning and it failed to deliver for a lot of areas while others done well. It's hard to know with pm blasts. Sometimes they're pointless at sea level and then in January many areas in the NW had well over 6 inches from a South westerly of pm origin. I'd like to see one more proper layer of snow this season. The Slushy dusting do nothing for me

Let's hope it's buzzing in here on Monday/Tuesday with snow reports ⛄

On a side note. Wind warnings in force from tomorrow afternoon/Evening from met Eireann and the met office.

What a miserable day rain torrential, hope we get one final decent snowfall Monday and Tuesday before Spring kicks in

[ronan]

This storm is really packing a punch! Some serious gusts here now! Its actually pretty scary! Lol

[BornFromTheVoid]

Worst of the rain has now passed and I 'd say there's some flooding about, haven't seen so much surface water here in many months. Surprisingly, the snow line on the Galtees is already down around 300m, so there must already be a decent covering, with more to come over the next 3 days. The plan is to go for a hike up there on Wednesday, when the winds have eased but the cold is still about.

[bobbarley]

Lovely bright day here, bitterly cold though and I see snow clouds to the north already!!

[snowmore]

Was not expecting this!!!

[Sparky72]

I see the weather warning appeared for NI now.

Going from past warnings I guess it's definitely not going to snow here now!!

[Abyss]

Nice James. Yeah I believe that front was expected to stay off the south coast but pushed a lot further north. No one forecasted snow for this time down the country that's for sure. Beauty of the weather always surprises no matter what the forecast. Enjoy

Met office snow warning released. 2-6cm of snow possible for low levels this evening and overnight

[ForeverPomeroysnow]

Was up around Malin Head and the five fingers yesterday very impressive waves and spray, could watch the sea all day when it's like that. Anyway I think it is really cold today but that could be down to my awful hangover

[bobbarley]

Very quiet in here is everyone fed up with snow and just want spring weather?

[ronan]

Probably liven up later once the snow starts. I'm off to the pub but I'll be keeping an eye on things. I love a Monday hangover. Lol

[ForeverPomeroysnow]

Some brief snow showers pushing through, nothing too exciting yet. Just thinking I have seen snow every month from November onwards, not too shabby at all!!!

[bobbarley]

Hasnt been a bad winter for snow at all here but better not rub it in, plenty of areas south and East have received very little!

[BIG LAD]

some nice snow/graupel showers up on sl beagh this evening.place starting to turn white just before dark. should be some lower down by morning.

[ForeverPomeroysnow]

Looks like we may enjoy it until Wednesday then it looks like spring is a calling

[ForeverPomeroysnow]

Snow showers starting to pep up and stick now

[BornFromTheVoid]

Showers are either dying out before they get here or the Galtees are stopping/deflecting them. No showers since about half 11 this morning!

[sundog]

Had a nice unexpected fall of snow (fairly wet snow it must be said) this morning.Snowed from late morning till early afternoon and left a covering on all surfaces for a while then thawed pretty quickly,just a few very small patches on the grass now remaining. It was the most snow i had seen falling all winter and it didnt hang around for long but it was a nice surprise.

[Abyss]

Shower started out as rain and thought here we go again. Quickly turned to snow
