    Just drove the M7 from Portlaoise to Tallaght. Snowing in Portlaoise with sticking on the grass around J16. Sleet up to J13 then rain the rest of the way. Temperatures rose from 1c at Portlaoise to 3c at J14 to 6c at J3 and back to 5c in Tallaght (Car thermometer) 3pm to 4pm roughly

    Back home near Athy had full snow coverage an hour ago already. Not sure what's happening there now.

    Good to see Ireland getting its first snow in the 1st half of November. Still very early in the season and hopefully a sign of things to come


  • Registered Users Posts: 15,322 ✭✭✭✭Supercell


    Awesome stuff, very jealous of those in the snowy spots, its utterly bucketing down rain here, got drowned collecting the kids from school. Warm and snug with the woodstove lit though now :)

    Have a weather station?, why not join the Ireland Weather Network - http://irelandweather.eu/

    I wasn't expecting rain to be so heavy here, but it's easing now.

    Dp heading for zero
    Expecting it to get quite sleety here shortly because theres a 2000ft mtn due west about 5 miles and I'm roughly 20 miles east of Tullow

    It was always going to be rain in Dublin, Meath and eastern coastal areas, too much of an onshore wind as usual keeping temperatures on the wrong side of marginal.

    The road between kippure and Sally's Gap is very icey. Covered in Wet snow.

    save the trouble and jazz it up


    Has the Wind direction changed just around Arklow? or E coast in general?

    Front/small low centre just south of Dublin, so wind is E for Dublin and W for south Wicklow/Wexford.

    Lashing rain in Dublin 16. 8.2mm so far this afternoon. 5.8c atm.

    It's pivoting, and then should move back south, so not sure will get the cold air to Dublin.
