Nothing here for two hours now, no showers due any time soon looking at raintoday either. The temperature's risen and the snow from earlier is melting.

Think we've had our (brief) fun here already for tonight

Nothing to report from Offaly Westmeath border. Distinct lack of midlands people on here tonight, but it's a clear cold night here and i do not expect anything sadly.Hopefully I am wrong, we might get a stray shower from somewhere....

Had a very wet sleety shower a while ago, but mostly rain. Stopped now, but looking at radar, looks like Dingle peninsula especially Brandon Mt are getting plastered.

Carlow Town, it's freezing out. Frost on the car already. Not a dickybird of a bit of snow. Clear sky so far.

dbyrne

Its -.5c here at the moment, cars froze over about 2 hours but the skys are clear., its bloody freezing.

Was on the motorway between Galway and Athenry just there. Very heavy snow. Hard to see, flakes were huge.

Traffic at a crawl at 30 mph. Right hand lane completely white and still lunatics bombing past.

ltdslipdiff

Delighted :rolleyes: to report the massive snow shield over Waterford is working a treat........

That'll be me in 3 hours, hope it's not freezing over by then though

Anyone else catch some sheet lightning out in the Irish Sea in the last 30 mins?? Was just out for a short run here in Swords and saw two flashes - first one caught me blinking and scared the bejeezus out of me (didn't know wtf), but the second I was running right toward. Lit up about big chunk of the sky a kind of mustard yellow to the northeast for maybe half a second.

The bizarre thing is there's no cloud over there - stars were clearly visible (just under Auriga if you're curious ). It was low down though so probably a good bit out. Anyone else see this or was the cold playing tricks with my noggin? Looks from the rainfall chart just posted that there's something out there alright.

You have to pay for that one

Hail shower here just now that only lasted about a minute. Really wish it'd make up its mind already, I'm sick of these 5 minute showers then an hour of nothing.

Pangea

No show here, its been snowing lightly past hour and its stopped sticking ,roads are very wet now.
Hopefully there will be something to report by the morning.

Elsewhere it doesn't even amount to a dusting yet.
