Really don’t want any snow or ice here, would be most inconvenient as I have work (outside) for the next few days and it can’t be put off and I’ll need to traverse molls gap in Kerry a couple of times.

Can you divert via kenmare etc? I lived out that way and in frost etc would go the long way round easily ? Either from Sneem or cutting across at Blackwater

Wintery mix turning to rain here.

Temperature is rising quickly.
+2.1C after a low of -3.6C

Rain in the west and southwest will gradually move up into other areas, turning heavy and persistent, especially in southern counties. The rain will also turn to sleet and snow for a time over parts of Connacht, Leinster and inland Munster.

Supposed to start as rain

Looking at radar, this is just an isolated shower for south Dublin/north Wicklow.

Icy/sleety rain (still) here in Dublin 16.

The wind and I slept blissfully until after four o'clock...

Woke to bitter cold but the cats are almost all out...

Interesting day ahead but being where we are is a snow deterrent.

Someone told me a snowman story!

A man made a huge snowman near his gate ( not on the road). Great big thing it was... A passing truck driver decided to destroy it and drove right at it.... Yep, it was built around an old tree stump and the driver lost half the front of his truck

So beware snowmen

They take revenge....:eek:

The My Elevation app is excellent for getting exact altitudes of any location. Definitely download it.

1-2 reports of some icy roads around Blarney / Tower still. I expect the rain to take care of that quickly though.

Light dusting in glencullen reckon could be a nice commute home later

Heavy bursts of rain in Waterford 4.6c DP 2.3 wind south/south east so worst possible direction currently. Temp actually dropped 0.8c in last 20 minutes during a heavy out burst.
