Yeap.... Time to hit the hay after watching the latest batch of clouds roll overhead without so much as a flake...

Hopefully the below will work some magic overnight

Im Castlebar ,it seemed way out west but could still hear it then u posted at same time so thought it may of been same rumble.

Theres been some heavy stuff recently in Sligo. Was just about to go to bed after the dusting that had fell, had melted. Thought I'll take another look out the window, white lines on the road were tricky to make out, ventured down stairs to check out the drive, car has a nice thick covering on the bonnet, roof, and half way up the windows.

The thought of not having to get up to slightly later in the morning, is keeping me up just to see what might happen next.

Ahh I yer right. The winds changin direction through night as well, more Notherly

Mint Sauce · 05-02-2013 2:36am

Mmmm. Covering on car and drive is melting, the BBC map now has snow fall for Sligo Town 3 hourly until 6am, met office still has weather warnings in place for NI and its boarders, and the weather app now has no snow fall for Sligo till 6am.

Thats it, I'm definatly going to bed this time.

Cantonesque · 05-02-2013 2:38am

Snowing nicely now in Lucan

Alicat · 05-02-2013 2:39am

Snow flurries in Malahide, only started in the past few minutes, but I can't see anything sticking.

happyoutscan · 05-02-2013 2:40am

Nothing here in Westport except for heavy winds although they've died down over the last 15 minutes.

Washington Irving · 05-02-2013 2:42am

Started to snow lightly here (west Roscommon) again after a short shower of rain/sleet had began melting the small covering on the roads.

Actually, it's sounding rainy against the window again. Not holding out much hope for a whiteout tbh, seems to be regressing since about midnight.

Mr Bumble · 05-02-2013 2:42am

will be bitter alright.....even a tinge of NE by Wednesday night before backing N again until friday....weather for small bottle with harsh alcohol in back pocket

I'd take this one for Wednesday week.....
