The wind has picked up here in ashbourne and the rain is starting to fall even if its light, but god that wind chill would cut ya in two!!!:eek:

Solair

It seems to have calmed down significantly here in Cork City.
It was quite strongly blustery earlier on but, without any significant rain.
The wind is much calmer now.

Has it missed us? Or, is there more to come?

looking at the radar there appears to be more to come.

Met Eireann has a lovely pic up there now !

Rain is only just starting here now really, lashing against the windows at the moment. Just been a light drizzle up until now

sunbabe08

don;t know about any one else, but i was expecting heavy showers at the moment. there was a spit about 3 hours ago and that was it.

Met Eireann giving sleet for high ground, what I always say is, you can can sleet then you can get snow.
Rain here now, started as hail. 5.2C and a Dew point of 1.3C....

Temp down to 5.2c, wind seems to have eased slightly - now only gusting to 50km/h, 12.7mm of rain so far but getting heavier in Ashford

BEASTERLY

Temp down to 0.8c @ 450m in the Blackstairs, snow level wouldn't be much higher!

I was expecting a bit more oomph out of this storm but so far, all we've had is some wind here and no rain that I've noticed.

I'm very disappointed.

arctictree

Lashing rain here, +3.0c, must be serious snow on the mountain tops.

patneve2

very stormy in dalkey with moderate rain

arctictree

Update: +2.5c, Heavy Sleet

ninebeanrows

rain really just kicked off here now.

Was just light drizzle stuff until now.

Radar not really working too well today.

mickger844posts

Moderate rain here with a total of only 2.6mm so far. Temp 5.8c and feeling like Winter. Winds have eased off in the last few hours but a max gust of 82km/h was recorded at Waterford Airport earlier.

M.T. Cranium

That burst of heavier radar echoes over the Irish Sea may have indicated a period of ice pellet returns more than a ramping up of rainfall rates, and this was then observed to decrease when the ice pellet component changed more to sleet or snow due to orographic uplift. Still, there is some moderate to heavy precip in the oncoming mass, although I feel the system trend is likely to be slowly weakening next 6-12 hours.

Would not expect this to be a uniform event across the south, rainshadow effects are likely to be noticeable downwind (to WSW) of various higher terrain. Could be some instances of topographic channelling in Waterford, Cork and Kerry later.

Very interesting storm evolution, we shall not see its like again. Until Tuesday anyway.

Feel sorry for the 5000 people running tonight in the Dublin Night Run

I think it is interesting that the strongest winds being reported on the 5pm met.ie reports are generally in the areas where it is the sunniest. No doubt in part being enhanced a little due to surface heating (what little there is) in these areas mixing up the air in all sorts of funny ways. Very edge of that frontal cloud passing overhead just now giving some nice displays of altocumulus statiformis when set against clear blue sky to the west.

JanuarySnowstor

Rain seems to be fragmenting now.
In fairness the gfs predictor never really forecast anything too very heavy.
You cant blame Met Eireann for the warnings as it did look severe earlier on

sunbabe08

they were just covering their backsides.:rolleyes:

MrFrisp

Grand and gusty here now...But just a few spits of drizzle...

Nothing major,,,,Again..
