Current Weather Conditions-February 2008

Paddy.1

Moderate to heavy rain/sleet showers. Feeling Cold, but not cold enough. If these showers were of snow there would be quite a covering. But they are not, and everywhere is flooded, just like it should be in the west of Ireland.:rolleyes: Hope others around the country are getting something a bit of snow anyway.

Temp now 3.3c, and rising. :mad:

yeah, perhaps i'm kiddiding myself. it is 2 degrees milder now than it was at 6pm this evening. the best thing would be if it cleared up right now for a few hours, the temperature would surely go down, and then for it to start snowing at five or six.

Paddy.1

Are you getting any lightning Nacho? just had a couple of distant rumbles here, they seem to be comeing from the west of me which is Mayo.

nacho libre

yeah we had some at 7pm and just under an hour ago.

Trogdor

Everything seems to have dried out after the rain earlier which is something i guess, but the temp has risen to 4.4C:(

Mothman

Clear sky, 3.7C northerly breeze, visible snow on hills appears to have thawed.

grellan1

It has just started snowing heavily, here in south Mayo. There was a light sprinkling of snow already on the ground.
No temperatures, sorry but it does feel very cold.
Lightly snowing now, after 5 minutes!!

A fine morning, cold but not in any way "wintery"

Mike.

Mothman

5.1C in sunshine.

fozzle

Snow is hammering down now in Sligo, and not a flake of it sticking.

*edit*
Flippin hell, most of that's hail, and it's hammering down. Opened the window and it nearly blew off the hinges. It's really really dark now too. The good news is the hail is sticking, so we might get a base for the snow. Although that'll make pretty treacherous driving when I've to head to work later.

littlebug

South Mayo and there's heavy snowfall just now

Gonzo

3C and sunny, not feeling nearly as cold as yesterday.

yes, some thunder would be nice if we can't get snow.

it's 2 degrees out now - certainly feels cold enough for snow, but it's just crappy light sleet at the moment. doubt it'll change to snow either.
