How desperate have we become that we are posting about the odd snow showers here and there ��

No more than any other year. Are memories really that short?

Pretzill · 22-01-2019 12:47am

Snowing lightly here now.

South Sligo
90m asl

Danno · 22-01-2019 12:49am

Sleet in South Laois

Snowbiee21 · 22-01-2019 1:03am

A band of snow around athboy seems to be stalling, will it have enough umph to push eastwards ?

been watching that band, it seems to be breaking up quickly now, doubt it will even make it as far as south Meath or Dublin. I'm not expecting anything from this event so if there are a few snowflakes on the bin lid in the morning that will be a bonus.

Wishful thinking imo, I'd say it'll soon die a death before reaching the greater Dublin area at all.

Donegal Storm · 22-01-2019 1:14am

Just looked out the window to see everything blanketed in white in Letterkenny, thought it was just a hail shower but side windows on the car are covered so must have been some snow in the mix.

Perhaps a few showers will be more aggressive later, however the rate of the death of that one really spelled it out.

I'm not sure how we'll fare here in Galway City, but I doubt it will be very well.

Can i just say we just got a flurry from that broken up cloud here in my area of meath, i can count the flakes that fell on the roof of the car, trust me lads, its nothing to get excited by.

Sky is clear now, think the roads will be slippy in the morning

LMAO i think these northwesterlies are going to be a real killer

piplip87 · 22-01-2019 2:05am

Fairly belting it down here in Virginia. Not expecting it to stick around.

Gonzo · 22-01-2019 2:26am

not a single flake has made it here, so going to call it a night.

lolie · 22-01-2019 2:30am

First half decent snow shower this winter.
The ground is not cold enough for it to stick though.
Roads will be lethal if it clears up and freezes later.

monty_python · 22-01-2019 2:36am

Nothing in lucan, west Dublin. No rain or wind even

Ultimate Seduction · 22-01-2019 4:04am

Jaysus I'm 10 miles out the city and its raining heavily, not sleet, wet rain.

the2hurdys · 22-01-2019 4:34am

Stopped again twas very brief!

guil · 22-01-2019 5:41am

Very little frost in the Curragh over night. Much heavier yesterday morning. The drive to work this morning was 1c compared to -3 yesterday morning.

rn · 22-01-2019 5:56am

We got the lightest dusting of snow overnight in West athlone. I can nearly count the flakes on the car. Hasn't stuck on the ground.

kod87 · 22-01-2019 7:04am

horrible sleety mess here in tipp, miserable morning

Whiplashy · 22-01-2019 8:03am

Sleeting here on the tipp/Kilkenny border. Ground is soaked but thankfully it doesn’t seem to have froze overnight.

Lucreto · 22-01-2019 8:12am

Frost was better yesterday. Very thin coating. It looked like it rain during the night.

M.T. Cranium · 22-01-2019 8:19am

Black ice can form in these marginal conditions, especially where skies clear around sunrise to 0930h, don't assume conditions on the road will be what you encountered in your own parking space -- temperatures at many stations are reported as either 0 or 1, so there will be patchy ground frost. Also some of the mixed wintry showers may be briefly heavy and obscure visibility on the roads as well as leaving a slippery surface. Would suggest leaving extra time for any journeys today.

SleetAndSnow · 22-01-2019 8:21am

Only rain/sleet in cork city. No ice on the cars, everything's just wet and cold. The worst kind of weather!

Edit: dad just told me the cars were heavily frosted until 5ish.

Conway635 · 22-01-2019 8:27am

A light dusting at Mullameen (near Finea) 400 feet asl. Once we came down from the hills there was nothing.

C635

Gaoth Laidir · 22-01-2019 8:41am

Cold and wet here in Celbridge. Knock is reporting a covering of 1 cm and it's currently snowing lightly at 07.30. Sleet at Cork Airport..

MarkHenderson · 22-01-2019 8:43am

Another inaccurate forecast. Damp and warm here.

What do you forecast then?

Timfy · 22-01-2019 9:05am

We have a dusting on the mountains here in Leenane, North Co Galway but min temp at (just above) sea level is currently 4.7c with a little bit of sleety drizzle.

SleetAndSnow · 22-01-2019 9:26am

1 degree and sleeting/rain in cork city.

I would suggest if you read back through the thread this is exactly as forecast.

Sleety rain where I am near Mallow. Cold and miserable.

Kutebride · 22-01-2019 10:03am

All calm and cold in Meath. I didnt think there was frost when I looked out but when went to drive had to defrost the windscreen. Yesterdays frost was a white out, this morning couldnt see it on first glance.
