Wed, Thu, Fri - Potential Snow event

Kermit.de.frog · 2024-02-04 18:54:33

Folks, Looks like some, if not most, may get some appreciable snowfall during the middle and end of the coming week. The actual extent is uncertain as it always is but what is certain is that some frontal zones will be pushing up from the south ready for combat with colder air to the north of this system mid week with rain…

The last remaining patches of lying snow in the north. Glenshane Pass and Coleraine Mountain this evening.

Dublin 15, 80m ASL (I think?). Last night, around 22:00 to 23:00, I happened to be looking out the window with faint drizzle, visible only under outdoor light. Occasionally this looked awfully like tiny snow flakes. Much more floaty than drizzle and even looking a bit like flakes, though very small.
Could it have been snizzle/snow?

Here's a reason it may not have snowed in Sligo. Some of our wind was sourced from a milder Southeast and East than wind that reached Mayo and Donegal. If it was 2 or 3c in Leinster it would probably have snowed here.
Areas in bluey green generally saw snow but if you look closer at Sligo town area its slightly greener. We just missed out. Snow level was 150m here
