Cold here in carrick on shannon was some snow last night and I'm in another yellow snow warning ⚠️ for tonight

We will remember this cold March period for a few years and it does give us decent hope that Ireland can still produce snow, that we still have the 'technology'.

I will remember it for being Another Snow Letdown as someone put it. It might as well have rained....

Beautiful evening in Galway. Stars are out. Chilly.

2C and rain. ME forecast for rain all day. Dreadful stuff altogether.

Back into another Atlantic onslaught from the looks of it, next few weeks look unsettled with rain or showers every single day. Looks unsettled right into first week of April. This Spring is shaping up to be vastly different to last Spring where it was warm, dry and settled for most of it.

.Donegal.

Snowed this morning. Just patchy accumulation at my altitude cars roofs etc but wasn’t much.

Looking out at wet muck now. Boo. Kids had loads planned outdoors at school today.

No one will be going outside the door today, absolute relentless pig muck and it's to stay like this till the morning, so a 24 hour rain event, possibly the 3rd one of the past week.

After how stunning and record-breaking last March was with its sunshine, not surprised one bit how cloudy and unsettled this March is. Though after the few days I had last week, no complaints from me for a change! Fantastic sunrise this morning I missed too before the miserable rain came.

Malin head coldest at 4c

11c in SW

Just drove over a road at 180m asl. Still snow lying in the grass but won’t take long to wash away with the rain.

Horrific day in Cork, raining non stop since mid last night, getting absolutely sick of rain and oppressive grey skies.

Dreadful, depressing day. Atlantic muckfest.

I am right in saying that if we have a cold march its usually a great summer ☀️ so hopefully we do get a great one 😀 just gone 20 past 6 and still bright loving the great stretch in the evenings, sure clocks go forward on 26th at 1am

Robwindstorm

Anyone know last night's minimum temperature. Taps in shed were frozen at 7am so it was fairly hard?

Where?

Robwindstorm

I am in Meath, but would also be curious about the national minimum Tuesday night. It just seemed severe enough. Thanks

Cluedo Monopoly

Feels very mild this morning. Almost balmy.

The bird sounds are amazing these past few days. So much activity.

This is the problem with getting long dry spells there is nearly always a payback. As regards having a good summer, well you better hope we don't get a strong el nino event, as that usually means a wet summer for us. It's also not good news if you want colder weather during winter.

So yeah, i think that's pretty much it for winter 22/23; I'd give it a 5/10 (and that's being generous), literally the most extreme example of a bookended winter ever, with 2 good weeks at the start of December, one good week at the start of March, and nothing but pure crap for the 2.5 months in between (February in particular); only giving it such a high rating because of the beautiful snowy scenes I saw in Dublin/Wicklow during December and March (last Friday was literally the deepest snow I've ever seen in Ireland, only 6 miles from Dublin city centre lol); anyway the outlook for the rest of March looks pretty vile, and I've no great expectations for our spring or 'summer'. 

Gonzo

I would have given the winter 2 out of 10 and only for the cold spell at the start of December and tumbleweeds for the rest of winter. The March cold spell has nothing to do with winter as is in the Spring.
