New thread for those interested in discussing conditions in the west at the moment. Currently in Clare it's overcast and cold with no precip yet.

Does Cork count as the West? Light rain has begun to fall here.

dry and cold in cork city

Out of interest, the ME report for Casement reads "snow grains". Does this mean graupel?

Dr. Kenneth Noisewater

Dry here in Tralee all day. Dusting of snow on the mountains. 2 degrees which feels more like -4 degrees with the wind chill.

Galwayguy35

It's just dry and cold here in East Galway.

Kilnababe

Dry and bitterly cold in North Clare.The sky did change to a snowy look as dusk settled. Bring it on!

Ok, first time ever I think Cork has been classed as West

The models this evening are even colder for the next 24hrs than this morning's with -8 uppers draped across the country
Eventhough this may start off as rain it should turn to snow as the evening progresses
For me it's all about if the heavier stuff makes it to Cork

marno21

I'd imagine the west east seperation is everywhere except Louth/Meath/Wicklow and of course Dublin is West

Better off than all the lads in the east getting randy whenever there's light sleet and about 200 posts because of it

Very light snow/rain in S. Kerry at temp of 1.7

riggerman

4 c in cobh, with a light drizzle at the moment

rahmalec

Just wondering if someone can point me somewhere that shows where the rain/snow is predicted to fall in the next 24 hours or so. I know it is supposed to start as rain for many but should change at some point, or so I saw somewhere.

Snow/rain? Sleet?

vistafinder

Rain getting heavy in west Cork now and its very cold. There was a thick frost on the Caha mountains today above 250 mtrs roughly probably snow now up high.

maquiladora

The latest HIRLAM downgrades things a bit. It sends the heavy precip more south, missing the coast and what does arrive doesn't get very far east before dying out. Should still be snow inland from coasts but looking more like the 3-6cm in places instead of the widespread 5-10cm that was forecast earlier.

Are you near the coast, would have thought sleet at least

davidsr20

At last a tread with no D word
Very cold here all day but dry too no sign of anything wet


Any chance of precipitation around Galway through the nite maq? I'd be 15 mile inland from Galway.

Well on that model anyway Galway misses out tonight but does show some light precip getting in there tomorrow.

Looking like tomorrow is our best bet for even a few flakes would do now at this stage, although I do like the cold frosty weather too!
