It's going to be seriously icy out in a few hours time!!! Northwood in Santry was like an ice rink right upto lunchtime today. Will be the same tonight. Already down to 2c at Dublin airport at 4pm :eek:

I was in Maynooth earlier and the canal was frozen. There was serious frost in the shade too. Looks like tonight will be leathal :eek:

rc28

Ground and puddles remained frozen all day. -6c forecasted for tonight and -1c in Carlow already. Certainly a much frostier start to Winter than in recent years.

highdef

And temp at Dublin airport is down to 0c as of 17:00. Was about 5c at the same time yesterday - not a night to be driving. And I'm stuck in work till god knows when!!!

Just wondering, with temperatures dropping so quickly and with pressure also rising and also that the winds are virtually calm, is there a much higher risk of (freezing) fog tonight?

-1.0c here now.

The damp/wet on the ground from yesterdays showers never got a chance to dry out today - just back from the shops and you can the ice on the roads already.

max 8.2c
Currently 2.0c but dropping quite fast.
No frost or ice as yet.

Supercell

-1.0°C here currently, guessing -4 is possible tonight

gurramok

Could it be -2C now?

Fog has come here, seems to be drifting rather than sticking.

Snowbie

0.6C atm

Some nice noctilucent clouds over to the west of me now. Few photo's of them came out terrible but one or two of them alright. Upload later. Anyone else in Dublin notice them?

It's a death trap out there tonight, a skating rink.

Be safe already -2c and everything as icy as i've seen it, path frozen over and impossible to walk on at 830pm.

Gonna be treacherous in the morning.

mickger

1.6c here in Waterford City.No frost here yet. Seems to be colder up the country.

Ruu_Old

-2C (feels like -9C), light snow falling and the same tomorrow. Expected to drop to -10 or -11 tonight.

Can't see anything from here Snowbie. Although I'm out in inchicore at the moment. Not looking forward to the drive home, whenever that may be!!! Ice rink outside. Little misty here in inchicore but looking towards the Phoenix Park (can see the park from the office window), I can see a bank of orange fog.....orange from street lights, of course!!!

nacho libre

down to - 3.9 here and there is dense fog.

Mullaghteelin

At Dub airport at 21:00 the temp was -2C, Dew point -1C, with a 107% relative humidity, according to http://weather.noaa.gov/weather/current/EIDW.html

Here its -1.3C. The chimney smoke etc has become trapped in a nice little layer just above the rooftops. One minute its drifting NW, then SE. Wind must be almost calm. Very rare for this location.

The moons too bright to seem much here, and streelights etc dont help. Funnily enough I thought there was an odd greenish tint to southeastern sky just after sunset, although it was probably nothing. :o

DOCARCH

-2.0c here now - everything crispy out!

ninebeanrows

Yikes!

-5c in Belfast at 920pm :eek:

nacho libre

it's going to be interesting to see just how low the temperature goes tonight. if it goes below -6 that's remarkable for this time of year.

Mr Benevolent

It's frickin' freezing in Bayside. Paths iced up, puddles already frozen and a nasty freezing fog. Wouldn't like to be flying tonight!

houseoffun14
