Sunday: Sleet and Snow - Connaught, Leinster, Ulster

rc28

2.5 inches on the ground here and snowing lightly. The snow is reallly dry and doesn't melt in your hands as much. Absolutely perfect conditions for it though with that hard frost on the ground when it arrived.

snow, snow, snow, snow, snow. just out with the dog in the lovely snow... does it get better than this? was up during the night and there was no snow and when i got up there was snow. its like a winter wonderland. all i need now is a hill, a sledge and an other few feet of snow..

Yeah it is isnt it!
The wet bulb is sub zero which means dry snow!

Currently +0.1c here
DP -1.1c

Wet bulb -0.4c

Thats a rise of about a degree in everything since 730am

Woke up this morning and I looked out the window and got a shock when I saw the snow. Was outside last night with the dog at about 3am and the skies were clear. Didn't expect this :pac:

Seems to be falling as rain here now though (Killester)

DOCARCH

Snow has stopped here and skies brightening with patches of blue to my sout west. Delivered about 2cm here on top of the existing snow.

Looking at the radar there should be some more light stuff heading your way, just a temporary gap. Snoing lightly and completely overcast here still.

Yea snow almost stoped here at the moment.

Really very little precip must have fallen! But stil a cm on the ground!

Everything stuck.

That could be quite serious actually-though it's likely to be a high ground event only.

still snowing here
Big flakes now

are you in ballina, in mayo or ballina in tipperary?

starting to rain again and it is getting sleety. i wish it would just stop at this point as i don't think it'll go bak to snow now.

Supercell

Temperature and DP rising rapidly here up to -0.8°C from -3.9°C earlier. Could easily see this as a snizzle to drizzle event in the afternoon. Alternating here between snizzle and light snow for the moment.

The gas thing is that this situation normally wouldnt even be marginal! It would be RAIN!:D

How times have changed!

well considering last night they only mentioned rain on monday. i wouldn't rule anythng out- and as the radio forecaster said yesterday you can never turn your back on snow:pac:

shamwari

We've had about 2cm here so far and it's still coming down. It only started some time after 8am. Met radar suggests it will clear in an hour or so.

Trogdor

Stopped here now as well and brightening up. Bout a cm or 2 on the ground

Excellent point WC, I wonder if the same thing could happen with tomorrow nights precip if it does track over Ireland and not pass to the south. Could be major disruption if the same effect tips the balance from a normal rain/sleet event to a heavy snow one, hmm.

irish1967

Donegal Town : 10.00am - 2 inches of snow and still snowing! Was Clear when I came home at 3am... I guess this won't be reported on RTE... lol

Going for a walk to get the Sunday papers now... photos to follow when I return

Most roads aren't actually that bad, expect local ones in estates etc. the traffic on the main ones have kept them clear of snow

ninebeanrows

Looks like the stuff on Monday night is going to track to our south at the moment!

Lets enjoy what we have at the moment!

About a cm and the snow is extremely light.

Cutie18Ireland

3.5 inches in Kells and still snowing. Gave up on trying to get to work in Ashbourne...

Furp

we have about 1.5 inches in Navan and is does not look like its letting up.

Looking at the radars at the moment, is it strengthening again in the midlands?
