I'd say the non-northern facing slopes will have some major thawing going on today with that fairly strong sun now present. With the amount of rain that fell, there must be a LOT of snow up there

Baggy Trousers

What a beautiful frosty morning today. I love days like this.

snowstreams

From looking at casements and oak parks reports yesterday, they had about 10mm of rain. So thats about 15cm of powder snow. But mountains relief effect would probably double that.
So there could be about a foot of fresh snow up high on Lug!

Was out and about in Dundrum (Tipp) today in glorious sunshine - Galtymore had snow on top, just around the peak.

from the Ball at Naas on the way back I could see Lug was completely covered as were the surrounding high areas.

10.8mm rain here yesterday, so that all must have fallen as snow above about 1800 feet (guess).

Being on Spring already

A potent Arctic blast can still deliver in April
Aren't white Easters more common than white Christmases?



This gave a fairly decent fall that lasted well into the morning.

I remember that, delivered about 3 inchs of lying snow which stopped by about 1pm, by 2pm it was just about all melted! One of the quickest snow melts ever.

I'd say the higher parts of the Wicklow Mountains should get at least a temporary pasting tonight.

3.2c here with icy/sleety rain falling.

I was just about to post
There was still old snow on lugnaquilla this morning, I'd be very confident it will be plastered tomorrow morning
What a climate up there

Danno

Some sleet here in South Laois 90m ASL today around 4pm, but temperatures rose slowly thereafter and precip reverted to rain.

Ken Ring is a charlatan. I heard him recently on 96 FM - the clown should not be given air time.

I can't work out . . .

Is the above post the last one for last winter's snow events.

Or the first one for this year's?

(Hope it's the latter :P )
