    First time I've had the opportunity to say this in quite a while - snowing in Lusk :D Sticking to cars, grass etc but roads and path too wet. Nice to see.

    Its absolutely torrential rain in D2. Not a hope whatever follows will stick. Rain is gusting sideways.

    I'm outside school in Swords. Snow is easing off now. Another 20 mins until the kids are out and they'll be sick if it's all over by then.

    False. Snow will stick if conditions are correct regardless of ground wetness.

    Probably the biggest myth that persists when it comes to snow!

    Agreed! More often then not, I've only seen settling snow fall on previously wet ground so don't understand why this myth prevails.

    Indeed. The evening of December 16th 2010 is a prime example, within 10 minutes of the rain, that had been falling all day, turning to snow it began to stick readily on the wet ground.

    Unfortunately today conditions are not right for the snow to stick, but hopefully that changes after dark!

    Place was white here earlier after an intense thunder/hail storm, and even that melted rapidly.

    Gone very dark again in D14, some evaporative cooling in the last shower brought the temp down to 1.8c, back up at 2.9c now.

    Witnessed that myself just a few weeks back. Snow will cool the outer surface very quick if heavy enough, but would have a better chance of sticking around longer if near or below freezing temps were more entrenched beneath the surface.

    Edit: Which briefly turned heavy...quick coating of icy balls!
