Can anyone tell me if it is still snowing in Cork City? It started snowing after I had left for work. It was fairly big heavy stuff at the time.

Looking at the radar there is loads of snow just south of the city, a push of wind will bring it back in

Nope, it stopped after 20 mins. Big cloud just off the south coast just missing us now. looks like there is one going to hit in half an hour or so hopefully

Thaw on here in Craughwell, Galway. No complaints, got a great bucketing this morning, have our snowman built and a day off school but its all drip drip dripping away now.

Have looked through the thread but cant find anyone reporting thaw in the midlands - can anyone report on this? Momma wants to drive from Dublin to Galway this afternoon - AA continue wth warnings for almost evverywhere even though the main road (N6) is fine here now.

UPDATE: Sleety kind of snow falling, and little hailstones falling on roof, only little ones

This will teach the nay sayers to turn there back on the snow !

Too the amount of people on here this morning banging on about what a bunch of tools the met are :p:p:p:p

Kinda looking forward to watching Frank Spencer AKA Gerry Murphy giving a report later on today .

Getting a little lighter here now

Temp 0.8

Dp-0.3

I am out in Ballincollig now and it is getting darker at the moment, so that might be it moving in.

Huh? they forecast big snows last night in the east, then backtracked in the 9 o clock forecast to sleet/rain.

We never questioned it would turn colder today with snow returning or that it wouldn't snow inland.

The plain truth was, their initial forecast for last night and this morning was simply wrong, while the 9pm forecast was correct.

RobitTV

Some of this sleet, hopefully will turn into snow.. hmmm

little bess

Light snowflakes in killester as opposed to hail 15 mins ago, clouds seem to be moving in from Irish sea , hope it gets heavier

manlad

A lot of clear blue sky over DCU, but thunder as well...Dunno whats coming

Girrrrseach

Thunder (\m/) & sleet in Finglas!
