    Thats not a squall line as it doesn't have the highest DBZ returns on the leading edge. Still nice though with the odd sferics thrown in.

    Heavy hail and squally winds. A little bit of sleet and the odd stray flake of wet snow in East Galway.

    2219 update

    Storm Jake will feed down a core of strong to gale force winds westerly overland tonight - stormy infact for coastal areas of the west and southwest. Organised bands of heavy showers moving down in the flow too, merging to longer spells of rain, sleet and snow - all with the added risk of thunder. Snow accumulations are likely, especially later in the night for the northern half of the country, as well as for higher ground elsewhere. Cold, with lowest temperatures of -1 to +2 degrees Celsius, risk of frost and ice too.

    Ah, I think you mean dBZ in that case.

    You had me stumped there for a while... Makes sense to me now :)

    Very heavy hail and sleet shower now leading to accumulations on windows and corners. Sky TV is also gone yay thanks to the very strong gust that came with the shower.

    Edit: Lightening now too.

    Edit x2: Location: West Clare
