No fog though thankfully, lovely winters night.

Currently cloudy and 2.4c

Mothman

Now I know what stratus

Temp risen to +2C, grass up to 0C or slightly below.

Snowbie

Temp has gone from 1.8c to 2.4c too.Highest daytime temp was 5.3c for a time and likewise grass was still frosty in shade.

Lafortezza

1.5C at Dublin Airport right now, grass temp is -5.4C though.

ninebeanrows

Below freezing here, with a sharp sharp frost..

Snowbie

Low of 1.7c but ground frost was more extensive than yesterday morning even though it was colder than this morning.

Down to 1.1c already and dropping fast

dewpoint -0.5c

Snowbie

A balmy 6.7c with a lot of stratus about.

Supercell

-0.7C here and dropping fast.
Very frosty and cold outside.

6 degrees and rising! here in the midlands

SpitfireIV

Approx 4C in Carlow town

Supercell

Up to -0.3C here now but no cloud still.
Am guessing these cold pools are very localised in nature.

Yeah I am just back from Dublin and from about jack whites south the car thermometer dropped 5,4,3,2 1,0 almost by the mile.

I see an air frost on the Davis from 930 pm tonight at -0.6c but its back up to +0.8c now.

A lot of ice outside and of course everything is frosted over white.

Snowbie

T-shirt temps here

arctictree

22:32 pm : +0.8c

Going up and down all evening....

Thats some contrast.
I see Dublin airport and Casement at +7 whilst Kilkenny is -1c in the last hour on met.ie

Most of the country is on 7-10c except parts of the south east.

Even mothman is at +4.7c which tallies with my south bound trek earlier and the sharp drop south of jack whites.

Danno

1.4c here now. Maxed today at 6.3c.
Last night was 0c and the same the night before.

Supercell

Almost afraid to post..-1.1C here.

Clear and frosty, not making it up I promise!!

arctictree

8am : -0.5c

80% clear, lots of hoar frost

Third consecutive night frost...

I'm sure my nightly mins have been much lower - will have the equipment soon to measure this.....

Huge hoar frost here too-very white and very icy.
Overnight min was -0.8c

Currently plus 0.8c

Except that was my late afternoon temp, as phone was out of order till this morning. Check the time....
Temp fell sub zero soon after sunset and then varied between 0 & 4C till 2am, and then fell to min of -1.8C, with grass min a chilly -8.1C, just 0.1C behind Dec record.

arctictree

-2c at Calary (on RW to Kilmac road) this morning at 8:20am.

Top reservior 60% ice covered. Was about 10% on Wednesday morn.

mike65

Cold. Car said +2 at 1.30 pm in the shade.

Mike.

arctictree

17:04 : +1.8c and falling. Will be another cold one tonight.

Hoar frost hasn't melted here all day.

Anyone know of any records for consecutive frosts in Dec??

A

Frost and ice hung around all day here too in the shade despite a high of 8.2c

Now 2.7c

Supercell

0.0 here already, heavy frost everywhere , could make snowballs from the hoarfrost in shaded areas here.

Fascinating drive home, was 7C on the car thermometer on the Kilmacanoge turnoff for Roundwood with some stratus overhead.

Once at the top of the hill could see what was making the stratus, was totally clear to the west of the hills north of Devils glen, but the Devils Glen hills are raising the air enough to make stratus thus keeping temps higher on the other side.

At places between Roundwood and Annamoe the temperature on the car thermometer already was going to -0.5 which is a pretty massive difference to conditions on the N11.

I reckon this could be my coldest night so far here:)

Last night minimum was -1.9C

I was looking at that stratus to my north for much of afternoon. Sunny all day here, temp dropped like a stone, now sub zero just after 1730, similar time to previous days.

My min last night, -1.8C, you'll probably just beat me again tonight, though I do think it'll be colder.

Supercell

If conditions remain like this would reckon -3C is on the cards here maybe even a little lower.
Now showing -0.9C, getting cold fast tonight

1c here now

Supercell

Mothman,

Was just looking at your site , specifically at - http://www.iol.ie/~wicklowweather/Photos/inside%20screen.jpg

Has the wetbulb jar ever frozen over?, I imagine on nights like tonight the top of the water in the jar at least freezes ? How do you measure dew point in such conditions?

Sorry for going totally OT Snowbie!

Back on topic - temp here currently -1.4C

ninebeanrows

Amazing how cold these nights have been under what if there had been cloud cover would have been a pleasently mild few days. 850 hpa temps are as high as +6 at the moment. It shows the importance of the height of the sun during winter.. in a few months these conditions will lead to pleasent days with highs to 16/17c..

The story could of been oh so different, we are lucky were seeing any cold weather at the moment because the current synoptic is very poor with regards the prospect of an outbreak of cold upper air temperatures across Ireland.

No snow for the next 3 weeks anyway.

You got that right m8.

While this cold clear frosty weather is nicer than the stormy Atlantic mild stuff we've had this winter so far....
I'm a little miffed that i've moved up the mountains and there hasn't been ANY BORDERLINE SNOW EVENTS AT ALL this winter!!
How many times in the past have I looked wistfully at the mountains in white and wished I lived there...well now I fecking am and its still not snowing!!

Its early days yet so will just have to be calm and wait.

Oh , its -1.7C here now.

Supercell

Got down to -2.0C , now back up to -1.4C.
Once the temperature starts bouncing like this usually means close to the floor has been reached.

-2.5C is my best estimate for min value for tonight now (which is still the lowest since moving here so can't complain )

arctictree

Currently -0.5c here.

When did you move here Longfield?

Snow is really hit and miss around here. Some years we have a few periods of snow, others we have none. There is nearly always at least one snow event.

This is my first winter - moved here a couple of months ago, tbh i do realise that snow before January is pretty rare anywhere in Ireland, but had hoped for a few wintry type showers.
That said places in Norway and Sweden are having "brown" Christmases for the first time ever so cannot really complain.

Most winters in Ireland have late cold spells in March/April as the snow cover the continent reaches its maximum, I reckon even in the most crappy winters we should see something in march April even if it is short lived.

All I want is a "my snow is bigger than yours nah na na nah na!!" (with pics to rub it in!!) episode this winter
