The Specialist · 13-12-2017 2:33pm

In Castletroy, Limerick - it has basically gone from day to night outside now, some hail mixed with rain but the sky is a horrible dark grey. Not feeling very cold though.

Saggart village on the Kildare/Dublin border, sun is out, feels fresh compared to earlier on which was bitterly cold. Calm before the storm?

Very marginal later so don't hold your breath. Bitter cold is a windchill factor

Gonzo · 13-12-2017 2:35pm

just had a short heavy shower of cold, cold rain.

gerrybbadd · 13-12-2017 2:36pm

Lightly snowing here now in Ballina. Had been raining heavy enough and it just stopped, turning to snow

Lenny5 · 13-12-2017 2:37pm

A few snow showers in Claremorris in the last hour. A couple of heavy ones.

DaithiMa · 13-12-2017 2:37pm

Heavy snow 5 miles North/slightly West of Tuam 60m ASL. Not sticking yet as ground was saturated by rain earlier.

gerrybhoy · 13-12-2017 2:38pm

The difference from this morning's temps until now is unreal,breeze would cut through you here in D17

Xenji · 13-12-2017 2:40pm

A bit of sleet in Castlebar briefly, 2.8C currently with the dp at 0C.

Heavy rain here now with a sleety mix in West Clare, temperature is 5.7c. Had heavy hail and thunder + lightning around 30-40mins ago.

And dropped to 4.7c in the space of 11 minutes!

Oneiric 3 · 13-12-2017 2:44pm

Heavy snow shower in Tuam. Surprising how quickly it is settling despite the wet ground and starting off as rain.

Edit, easing up gain but was a surprise to see.

kod87 · 13-12-2017 2:52pm

Horrible weather here, cold and lashing rain, 6C tipperary

edit, now with added thunder and some sleet mixed in

Gaoth Laidir · 13-12-2017 3:05pm

Showers seem to be moving quickly across the country. In Dublin, it's bitter cold with a wind that would slice you in two.

Rock Lesnar · 13-12-2017 3:07pm

Christ the weather has changed in the last 30mins here, the wind would cut ya in half and its freezing cold

ltdslipdiff · 13-12-2017 3:09pm

Heavier bands seem to be staying intact as they cross the country now on Sat24.com

Meteorite58 · 13-12-2017 3:09pm

Went so dark here in Tralee with a ferocious hail and rain shower a moment ago. Cleared the town !

Jimbob1977 · 13-12-2017 3:11pm

Hailstorm in Limerick.

Windy and filthy day

5c

Dank Janniels · 13-12-2017 3:21pm

Woke this morn, snow gone, road clear, grass green. I said sound, il do 1 or 2 things around the house 1st then go off for a cycle before the cold creeps in tonite. Then came the rain , then the hail +now its snowing again.
Id say every city +town will be jammers at the weekend with people out scrambling for christmas shopping!!

RobertKK · 13-12-2017 3:26pm

Rain turning to snow on the north Kilkenny hills.

Oneiric 3 · 13-12-2017 3:27pm

Temps during passage of that last shower here. Quite the fall as the rain turned increasingly to sleet and then snow, and then back to sleet again.

Edit: and Td:

Snow was clearly intensity induced, in that colder air was dragged down from a height during most intense part of shower.

CrowdedHouse · 13-12-2017 3:33pm

Drove through heavy shower of sleet/bits of wet snow between Templemore and Roscrea about 2pm. Temp dropped from 4.4 to 2.1°C . 9 mm recorded since 7am

Very dark too

RobertKK · 13-12-2017 3:37pm

Heavy snow now and it is settling on some surfaces as temperatures continues to fall.

George Sunsnow · 13-12-2017 3:37pm

BBC news graphics just now has snow in the showers over a wide part of north Leinster this evening including Gonzo central and Dublin

3nd coldest station on that map is the one nearest to me (at time of writing) which is not the northwest. 2nd coldest Roscommon (0.3c) again, not northwest. Get your geography right bucko.

Oneiric 3 · 13-12-2017 4:16pm

Quite a lively shower just passed over, which was about 3/4 snow 1/4 rain at its peak. Some very fast moving scud on the back end of it.

Gonzo · 13-12-2017 4:17pm

light rain here for past 30 minutes, gone very dark. Just a horrible mucky day.

George Sunsnow · 13-12-2017 4:19pm

Heavy sleet here in Gorey
Heading home via the Croghan wind farm circa 1000ft asl,wish me luck

Hooks Golf Handicap · 13-12-2017 4:20pm

Snowing heavily within 10k of Carlow.
If these showers keep coming as they look on Sat24 there could be hours of this to fall.

Opposite Lock!;)

Just cold rain in south Dublin, 4° but feels much colder

ninebeanrows · 13-12-2017 4:32pm

It's turning quickly now-if intensity holds up a dicey rush hour ahead.

Mooro · 13-12-2017 4:32pm

this.lad · 13-12-2017 4:33pm

It's only beating snow here in south Kildare
