Nice snow shower in Galway city about 30 minutes ago. The flakes were big but wet. Great to see though.

Some nice falls of snow as I was driving around south Mayo in the last hour or so, the further north though is just rain.

The GFS certainly went a bit much on the drinking this evening. Mad end to the pub run. Classic.

Wet snow to snow in south Laois. 1.7c with 0.8cDP. Must be quite cold air aloft.

Snowing now north Offaly, but it's come after heavy rain, so no settling expected.

The heavy rain before hand does not determine whether it will stick.

It won't massively determine it. It can be harder to cool vast amounts of surface water such as the ones we had in Galway this evening (some spot flooding too), but realistically if the temperatures are right till stick.

1.5c and dropping. Gone from sleet to snow but the heavy precip has passed so don't expect it to stick.
Windchill -2

Dublin Airport reported light snow at 02:30 and 03:00 (temp/dp 1.2/0.4), book-ended by rain/sleet before and after, so no accumulation. Casement reported sleet at 02:00 (temp/dp 0.9/0.2), with rain before and after.

Knock has a minimal patchy covering of <1 mm at 06:00.

Beautiful morning here in Dublin 5. This week hasn't been bad at all, most of the muck has been confined to nighttime.
