Looking mostly like Norsleet at 1940, plenty of hilly terrain compared to the midlands for some white

Gonzo

the heaviest rain has cleared here now, just patchy rain left.

sliabh beagh

heavy snow here now. roads are white again. proper dry snow with huge flakes. most of last nights snow still on ground too.

Swellan

Cavan Town- pouring rain. No sign of change to sleet, let alone snow just yet anyway.

I can confirm its snowing like mad here in SW Donegal , the ground is soaking though so it will have a job to lie

Proper snowing here in NW as well. Surely the overnight freeze might let it lie

More or less sleeting for the last few hours now in Derry, temperature has dropped a degree within last hour.  Hopefully dew points match and it starts to turn to snow.

Interesting to see how the Hirlam pans out. 12Z version has rain turning to snow in the north Meath & Louth area later in the evening. Currently raining here in Dundalk.

Still raining here. Not expecting any of the white stuff now, unless the low can pull in some colder air as it heads east into the UK.

If it is heavy enough it will lie eventually, as the snow flakes themselves will cool the ground down quickly as they splatter onto it.

Snow here in Letterkenny. Dinorebel, you're getting the best of it. Not sticking here as much out the Golf Course Road. Getting heavier now.

I'm up at Foxhills so a prime spot.

The temperature here has risen from 3.4c to 7.1c n about an hour.
Still rising, 7.3c now. Shame that a big thaw is underway on the Dublin mts.

Mount Leinster today!

Slight change just within the last 15mins, 200% more red (snow) than green (sleet).
Still only in isolated areas moving ENE.

Hah not much difference an hour ago

An inch fell here and yes it did lie, even though ground was very wet, but back to rain now and it's turning slushy

Gonzo

big rise in temps here too, fell to close to 2C about an hour ago, now almost 8C. What a difference to this time yesterday.

Part of the 6 Counties getting a pasting.

Lashing rain here in Virginia, wind quite gusty but nothing damaging. I would say chances for snow tonight all but gone at this stage

wingsof daun

Snowing for 2 hours now and lying everywhere in east Donegal. Hopefully it doesn't wash away by morning...

Oops sorry hadn’t seen your pics!
That was brave in the dark! Drifts were up to 90cm in middle of road and 6’ covering the drains at the top. Was pretty wild near the top today would’ve been interesting up there last night..
