Morning.

Kilkenny City outskirts..

Temperature: Current -1.1 °C High -1.1 °C Low -3.7 °C
Dew Point: Current -1.4 °C High -1.4 °C Low -4.0 °C

Nowhere near as cols as last night. There was a small shower of snow during the night, as the cleared areas on the drive now have a thin covering.
When I started typing this, it was just snowing very lightly, but now it's heavier.

Still think met.ie should adopt the % system.

E.g chance of snow 10%

Works in other countries.

I think people are getting their inches and centermeters mixed up!

No 6 inches, its higher than the big kerbs, can't make roads from footpaths out here in Tallaght at the foothills of Dublin Mountains. Its over the ankle when you walk in it with boots on. If you wanna see some snow take a trip out to Tallaght Killinarden OR Kiltipper area.

Blizzard conditions in Galway (NE part of city), and by the radar it's gonna get a lot uglier. Don't get into your cars if you haven't done yet so!

School Update. Aylesbury Old bawn, Firhouse, Springfield, Jobstown, Killinarden, All junior and senior schools closed, no bus services to these areas either, roads are impassable. Power outage in Bohernabreena and Parts of Kiltipper. Gritters are out according to SDCC but can't get up some of the hills at the top of Tallaght, i.e Kiltipper Killinarden and the likes.

In Fairness Met Eireann did say on the Esat cost it would be sleet an rain, more inland it would be snow, but dont worry the temps are going to drop like a stone, very cold uppers on the way in the next few hours

BEASTERLY

They also forcasted sleet and rain near the coast and it did. Snow in some places, rain in others.

They were spot on i think.
