There looks to be another batch of EC off the west coast and likely to track countrywide. Will probably be the best hope for later.

Snowing for ~40 mins in Kilcullen, Kildare, some heavy flurries. Sticking (just)

Gonzo · 13-12-2017 05:13PM

turning back to rain/sleet again, this is far too marginal.

Let me know if you can view as Jeep radio was on and the YouTube sent it for extra processing as a result

I’ll take mild Muck over this cold muck anyday

Danno · 13-12-2017 05:33PM

After snowing earlier for a few minutes, precipitation eased back to light or very light and returned to rain along with a 1c rise in temperatures. Back down below 2.5c again now, but no precipitation despite the very heavy skies.

ongarite · 13-12-2017 05:34PM

Absolutely appalling evening for commuting in Dublin West, Meath.
Heavy sleet giving poor visibility with lots of surface water and cold as f*ck too

ninebeanrows · 13-12-2017 05:42PM

Best chance for greater Dublin off next blob due around 8pm

It’s hilarious when you see these charts and usually Cork is either completely clear or else covered in just horrible rain :-P

Oneiric 3 · 13-12-2017 06:01PM

An almost continuous band of rain/hail/sleet showers that is really totting up the prep totals now. Never very heavy though at any one point.

No different here- just horrible rain, I can't even get sleet at 1c.
It only snows from an easterly here so I'd say the next snowfall is due in about 50 years!

I can perfectly get snow from northerlies or northwesterlies just as much. It's just a matter of the setup being just right.
