It has been snowing quite a bit in North Dublin, Portmarnock today, but I don't think it's amounted to any real increase in snow depth on the ground. In the last hour or so there's been no snow at all.

Same here down in West Waterford, we've had snow, not graupel, for the past 3/4 hours, it dances about, small flakes, but contributes very little to the cover on the ground. I think it just gets kind of sweeped into ditches, bits against door and window frames, then a gust of wind lifts them up and takes them somewhere else... It's still going on, hasn't stopped, wind picking up a bit, a few very pretty gusts and whirlwinds on the grass.
More exposed spots probably have 20 cm, but on the road and driveways it's more like 3 to 5 cm.

I'm at the foot of Knockmealdowns, 190 masl, we usually get more snow than other places, but so far with this event we have been pretty much spared. I think the Comeraghs to our East are taking the brunt of it, I expect we might get a bit more later on when it comes from the South, if I understand right ?

Snow has been falling at a steady (light to moderate) pace in Clonmel for the past 40 minutes, but the level of snow on the ground has gone down noticeably since it started. ~4cm of snow this morning, but now patches where you can see the bare ground.

Snow was starting to thaw quickly here in Cork, not sure if there was a raise in temperature or the wind but now is starting to snow again, You can definitely tell the wind has started to pick up as well

Waterford

Emma is getting closer. Cornwall and Devon covered!

Yea the real cut in that cold earlier has been toned down a bit and temp gradually rising. Fortunately snow is ususl chunkiest with temps around 0C.

Extending the red warning to the northwest for all day today was a mistake.absolute nothingburger

agree...but on the other hand...how were they to know that these constant streams of precip from the east would all die out more or less exactly at the border?

Six to seven inches of snow here in Armagh City. Been snowing most of the day and currently blizzard conditions. I can't believe it's the 1st March!

a total of 6cm in Kilkenny city,been snowing on and off all morning but we are losing coverage at an alarming rate now

Ah right I’m higher up than you but I’d say by this time tomorrow you will have plenty of snow 😉

I've no thermometer outside, but I'd guesstimate in my location temperatures are probably oscillating between -1 or 2 and 0 since this morning, since we've had bits of thaw like the roof, snow on the cars melting very slowly, but then the drips turn to icicles.

Is there some sort of invisible dome over Limerick?

Not a flake in sight. Windy and cold but that's it, bone dry otherwise

I am just thinking the same myself.
Disappointing

I’ve attached a pic from a ruler on top of my car! Newbridge
