No wind? Wtf? Are you in your sitting room or something? I wouldn't call it stormy outside but it's certainly not calm

Nope, there is no wind here, not even a breeze

Danno

Squall line gone through rather quickly. Heavy wet snow that didn't stick much barring a few car rooftops. Notably windy throughout witha 47mph gust.

Looking at the Net Weather weather radar theres a hell of alot of snow along the country.

Should add Netweather use Pink to denote snow

Calm in Athlone with a little drizzle. Wondering if it's going to hit us.

Blizzard like wet snow in Blanchardstown, Dublin 15.

The trough (not a squall line) has passed through here. Only had moderate sleet and very wet snow. Was expecting something a bit more wintery. Hopefully the night hours can deliver something better for 6am alarm clock. North Kildare, near Enfield and Kilcock

Sleety rain just started now. The cloud finally got over the mountain. Definitely snow mixed in - grasping perhaps!!

Currently gusting 114 km/hr, I never go by AccuWeather, but my phone is saying it feels like - 7 outside.

Heavy rain / sleet has kicked off here in Donabate. Wind has whipped up too.

Massive clap of thunder that occurred almost simultaneously with a huge bolt of lightning overhead here at just before 10.25 pm.
