My evenings work last night. Each block was compacted into a plastic container, then carefully stacked. Approx 200 blocks. 2.5 hours in total.

Absolutely lethal in Dublin city centre this morning. Thick layers of ice everywhere.

Rain/Sleet in castlebar and Ballina, Co.Mayo but just got a txt now to say its turned to snow in castlebar now, I think the initital warm fron thas passed and that was being followed by a cold front...

morning all! i think it snowed a little overnight in north co dub. epic sunrise this morning... not snowing at the minute, but the upper half of the sky is grey.. lower half is orange from the sun
hope this front gives us some activity!

Not convinced that there will be anything for Dublin Region out of this band. Co Louth might get some. That band is weakening all the time.

Sleet in central Donegal this last half hour

ninebeanrows

Temp upto -2c/-6c Dublin.

Dewpoint is the reassurance.

Can someone actually explain to me why we get rain as opposed to snow cos i actually don't understand it - like even this morning it was much less cold than other mornings which i would have thought is a good sign of snow....but obv i'm simplifying things.....:o

IFSC - Dublin

Just saw a girl being put into an ambulance on a back board, head and neck fully strapped. Doesn't look good, she was on the ground for at least 10mins and didn't move. Doesn't look like your usual broken ankle/wrist

I was right rain for Cork, heavy snow up country.
There is still a chance though that it will turn back to snow later as the cold front moves in. Rain freezing on impact is what I said and that what's happening, lethal in parts! Only in Cork do you get rain at -3:D

damoz

snowing in north cork.

rhonin

Woke up to a nice covering of snow. Snowing now again! 0.1C

atlantic i'm afraid - its a front coming from warmer waters from my amateur view. i think there is a cold front following behind so it may turn back to sleet/now later as MT predicted...eternal optimist am i!

Heavy snow in North Tipp now - west of Borrisokane, on shores of Lough Derg
