It's not that unusual. I remember the Friday week before the June bank holiday seeing snow sometime in the mid 1990's.

This is the first year in the 10 years since we moved into house that I didn't bother topping up the oil after Xmas . No heating on is tough in this weather but I'm not risking having to bleed the boiler

No snow OR graupel here at all today. Just normal rain showers and hailstones.

Wet snow.

That is all.

Hail shower in Galway city now. Can't tell you how sick I am of this fooking weather:(

RobertKK

The cold lovers must be happy :P

Currently a sleet shower here on the hills north east of Kilkenny city, with a temperature of 2.9C and a wind chill of -1.8C.
I love warm weather...

Gonzo

had a snow shower here about half an hour ago, the second snow shower Ive seen all year. This cold spell is tragic, what could have been if this was back in December/January.... to think that its colder now than it was all winter when we should be starting bbq's and garden beers, its really not right at all.
