It was raining when I checked at 5. It’s snowing here now and starting to stick (Kildare town)

Kildare farm foods have a Christmas thing on... the big red man is there. If it’s snowing down this end might be nice at the farm

Fields all around Kildare farm foods are as green as can be. According to a neighbour, Santa is currently having his breakfast at the moment, so the weather didn't cause him any issues.

Do bring wellies - its very muddy.

Can't understand how it's raining in some parts of the midlands like celbridge. Is the precipitation too light?

Intensity doesn't really have any effect in such saturated conditions. We need lower relative humidity for the water to evaporate into.

The problem here is just a combination of the marine layer and low altitude.

There was a little now lying around Dublin/Meath/Kildare border during the night when I got up to the baba but it's long since been washed away by fairly heavy rain.

Dubs1990 · 10-12-2017 09:35AM

Heading to rathwood in carlow for the Santa experience, Would this be advisable not heading till tis evening.

Wind has picked up considerably in the last half hour and it is bitterly bitterly cold and the rain is now lashing again.

secman · 10-12-2017 09:39AM

Gorey, North wexford.... torrential rain all night , still heavy as I type. Pools of water all around the garden. Just a heavy rain event here, as forecasted to be fair. Only BBC said we would get snow here.

PukkaStukka · 10-12-2017 09:40AM

Only snowflakes to be seen in North County Dublin are on Christmas cards. As expected, this sadly has been a non event

naughto · 10-12-2017 09:41AM

ltdslipdiff · 10-12-2017 09:42AM

Snowing at last in Waterford ! Not sticking to saturated ground though.....

JanuarySnowstor · 10-12-2017 09:43AM

Quite often this morning people are mentioning temperature. Of course it's far more complex than that with dew points and upper air temps equally indeed more important.
It can snow at 5C and rain at 0C

I expect large disruption today as remaining ppn across the country quickly turns to snow
Places like Clare/ Limerick and later Cork should all see some

Lumi · 10-12-2017 09:43AM

Not the most scenic of views but you get the idea.
Moderate snowfall now in Galway city - starting to settle on all surfaces
Temp 0.6C, DP -0.1C

West Wexford beside the blackstairs and there's about 2cms of lying snow and snowing away.
The rain must have stopped and snow started about 6am.
115 m asl.

Nout in Newbridge , bit of sleet in the air , beyond disappointed , looks like the charts late yesterday showing all of midlands covered but nothing in Kildare were correct . enjoy those of you who got there fill.

appledrop · 10-12-2017 09:47AM

Lashing rain here in North County Dublin + not even a but of frost. Met Eireann are a joke with their weather warnings. It was the same with storm Ophelia. Yes it was bad in parts of country but not Dublin. Maybe they need to start doing two weather reports. One for Dublin + another for rest of the country.
