A photo of Lugnaquilla today on the following link. Doesn't seem to be a great deal up there - hopefully it will be topped up tonight.

There was nice coating of snow on the motorway from Galway to Limerick this morning. Regretably, it caught 3 motorists by surprise as all 3 had left the road within a half mile stretch of each other. A very heavy garda/ambulance/fire brigade presence was on the road there this morning. Couldnt drive any faster than 50kph along it

All i got from that shower this evening was rain,same oul s#ite. I just want the skies to clear now and the temps to start dropping,they were until that useless shower turned up. 3c atm was down to 2c before the shower.

Bitterly cold night in Waterford City last night. Not a hint of snow, clear skies, very heavy frost this morning, great to see everything white.

There's a level 2 inches or so at the top of lugnaquilla and all along its eastern side I hear
It is very very icy up there though, below freezing all day

Had a drive up military road to Sally gap and then down by lough Tay to round wood. Very little snow. Up to Sally gap crossroads was mix between very icy and about 1cm of snow but nearer the crossroads the sun was hitting the road so alouth it was -1 the road bar a couple patches of ice was clear. No snow off the road and could only really see some at top of highest peaks and the cliffs near lough bray were patchy white.

Is it me or is the weather forecast for the coming week the exact same as last week.

Monday is cool with around normal tempertures, Tuesday is mild (10-11c) with rain.
Wednesday/Thursday a bit cooler with showers/rain.
Friday cool with a chance of wintry showers.

Was up there yesterday. -2 degrees before windchill. Hard to say how much snow but went up over my knees in some of the drifts. Visibility very bad overall too as summit was in cloud.
