    Snow is not a type of hail? Or am I missing something with your statement?

    I think what the poster means is that the various types of snow were mentioned during recent events.
    The question now is are there different types of hail.

    Nature is finally starting to wake up from hibernation here in Cork City. While cold, a lot more trees have buds now, and the one that I mentioned before (as being the only one I saw with buds) has a few green leaves sprouting. Looking forward to seeing trees of green on the banks of the Lee again :p .

    Monday looking fairly wet for the east. Wouldn't some nice mild, dry spring weather be nice!

    12 vehicle pile up on the M6 earlier likely because of hail. Not the first time that's happened recently

    Well it was a beautiful day in West Clare yesterday. Not a drop of rain nor hardly a puff of air.

    When the sun was actually out and beaming down, yes there was warmth in it. When it was cloudy it was cold.

    The old saying about March weather goes; "In like a lion out like a lamb, in like a lamb out like a lion". This year March most certainly came in like a lion so what is it going out like? Really not like a lamb, perhaps like a donkey?

    We have had a few heavy hail showers today. A miracle in that Galway crash that no one was killed

    Not nice in Dublin but not terrible either. Just overcast. Like I said, I'm more tolerant of cloudy weather recently, I don't care what the weather is from now till the end of next week as long as it's dry.

    Better evening now in Dublin 5 with the sun breaking through the clouds. Happy enough with this for the moment anyway.

    The difference a year makes. Met Éireann chart from March 26th last year, showing easterly winds but temps still managed to reach between 15 - 18 Deg. C (highest at Valentia) widely.

    uaoiPkB.png

    The 'IMT' mean temp for the year so far (up to March 30th) is standing at 4.9c, which is in stark contrast to the 7.0c recorded for the same period last year.

    Data and map c/o Met Éireann.

    Nice pic Oscar. One of those showers hit here earlier with ping pong hail. Made quite the racket for a time.

    Hard to believe the above is in Dublin (of course I believe it)! The evening had dark grey clouds all over the sky except a little hole where the sun was. This just shows how a small distance makes a difference with weather. I remember in February 2017 I had a snow shower that lasted for around 20 minutes while my friend who lives in East Wall said he had rain.

    Would happily take low teens at this stage. The rollercoaster is more like a merry go round at this stage, time to get off and wait for November.

    A summer with nice sunshine and highs of 20-22c please chef.
