Dusting Malahide. Light/mod snow.

Sleet here, roads wet.

icesnowfrost

Just a hard frost in drogheda at the mo

DOCARCH

A brief burst of proper (fluffy) snow here (in Dublin 16) but very short lived. Sky looks to be clearing from the north now.

Where a good place to go tobogganing in the Wicklow/ Dublin mountain area?

Clear and cold up here in the South Kerry mountains. Icy stars. Dogs and cats so hungry..Thankfully one of the long promised gifts of firewood arrived late yesterday. A trailer filled with bags of good dry logs Happy!:) The small range is a wonder in these conditions. So I filled it with wood, coal and slack.. heated all the water I could need atop and got the floors washed..clothes washed without using gas or electricity.. baked a large potato in the side oven... floury inside and crisp outsides...For those of us in rural Ireland, the weather is a part of the daily basic fabric of life. I will never forget the struggle RobertKK had in that bad winter just keeping the water and milk flowing. Noble man! I was melting snow for water...So this weather is grand....the cold beauty but not the dire problems.

Here is a link that will give you heads up before the next wave of showers if any...

Ground should be white all the same particularly the tarmac.

Snow risk for Monday night alive and well.

I don't think there is enough snow anywhere easily accessible for tobogganing...unless you were willing to trek to a mountain top (like Lugnaquila).

Jaysus, will you let the man rant Graces7!

Classic case of snow envy, it will pass...

He sounds so unhappy! Far easier to adjust! Hate for folk to be so unhappy is all!

Light dusting in Dublin 15. Going to see if we can make snow ball. An excited 5yr old (read parents:-)) getting ready.

It's -0.3; breezy, partly cloudy, everywhere frozen, low clouds scudding in from the NW.

Met Eireann rainfall radar showed a fairly extensive shower passing through here 6.30 to 7.00; it was centred right on top of where I am at 6.45 - but...

not a trace of anything, even though all surfaces here are frozen hard - not so much as a frozen bit of graupel or a lonely snowflake anywhere.

I don't believe in radar anymore.:(

Very light dusting falling at the moment in Slieverue. 2 very excited dogs who have seen snow before and 2 very confused and cold dogs who have never seen snow before.

Only lasted around 5 minutes or so.

I got up around 6am to let all the dogs out and it was freezing, the ground was covered in a thick frost but I wasn't expecting snow

kenmc

nothing in goatstown . min temp overnight -1.1 rose after that but falling the last hour again, currently 0.9

please please please give me snow. I don't want much, I'd be happy with a meter or 2

funny guy!

Lightest dusting of snow imaginable here (in Dublin 16). Can see the individual snow flakes on car roofs, walls, pavements, grass, etc. But...snow's snow! :P

Graces7

Well, IF it snows here I will take my small dog all the way along the lane to where I will get an amazing photo of the house totally surrounded by snowy mountains... As I am not fit today to be anywhere but bed that is a rash promise but I feel pretty safe!;) Too much housework yesterday is all!

is that a possible streamer west of iom? Any chance of it heading into Dublin?

Heading down the Irish Sea by the looks of it. Wind in Dublin is from the west, so unlikely to make landfall.

I'd be surprised if you didn't have some snow from tomorrow evening's front
It's tight but probably the right side of marginal

Graces7

It is brutal out there. Icy rain in bitter wind. Both the cats ran in! So did I

icesnowfrost

An hour ago there was a hard frost everywhere in drogheda now it's nearly all melted but alot of cloud is rolling in it better be snow at least the frost made it look a hit like winter

I'm just under 40km west of Dublin, at just under 100m ASL and have hills just under 150m ASL adjacent to me so your comments give me some aspiration!
