Sunday: Sleet and Snow - Connaught, Leinster, Ulster

Min

It stopped snowing here about 2 hours ago and turned into a drizzle and a nice thaw is on.
I need a thaw here so I'm happy.

Interesting.
I would say its very temporary.
2C near the coast and all that fell this morning has nearly thawed.

The thaw will be much slower inland especially as precipitation has nearly stopped, but I'm surprised that you're reporting snow still. It shows that being near coast I don't understand how different it can a bit inland and higher up.

About 2.5" here in rosenallis , thawing like mad now.

Mothman

BTW, the packed snow from before will be much slower to thaw

It's been snowing heavily here for the last hour. An inch or two has fallen on previously dry ground. I'm amazed at the fact it hasn't turned to rain. You'd know the temp was above 0 as there's bits of slush now here and there, and the car has some snow slipping off it. The roads are almost entirely white now however.

afraid not. it'll be just sleet at best, with rain and hail showers most likely for the rest of the day.

Still moderate snow here expecting it to turn sleety in the next 30 mins and possibly back to rain for a bit before clearing here.

Pangea

Starting to thaw a bit here ,was raining a while ago.

rc28

Stopped snowing but still 100% overcast. I don't want the sun to come out and take away all my beautiful snow:D

Moderately raining here for the last 2 hours.
Most of the snow is now gone except from the top of the car,the ditches and the garden.

Are we due rain?

mike65

Warm and sunny down here.

PRetty decent blanketing over here in Blanch, though it was raining pretty heavily about a half hour ago. Hopefully some of the good stuff inland will be blown this way soon enough, or else we're not going to hold out the rest of the day.

Mobhi1

Raining now. Temp 1.6.

Supercell

Snow coming down heavy here now, temp dropped a little in evaporative cooling presumably. Down to 1.1 from 1.3 earlier

pistolpetes11

In Newbridge there was a good covering this morning , most of it has cleared now due to two good patches of rain and rising temps

Gonzo

raining here in Santry, but am about to get the bus's back to Dunshaughlin, hopefully there might still be snow there when i get back later on.
