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

    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.

    Large parts of the northwest road stations are reporting air temps of 2c or lower
    Knock at -0.2 c and Ballina at 1.1c

    That’s bitter for 230pm

    Dropping at my station near Arklow,currently a comparatively balmy 4.9c DP is 1.5c

    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. :p

    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.

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