Whatever just fell in D12, like freezing rain. Roads and footpaths are treacherous...

Should be a fun day for some. Reports of snow in Galway all goes well for further up country. Expect an orange warning from Met Eilean by lunchtime for midland and Eastern counties. Will we go red??

Snow shower in Delgany @65m asl about 30 mins ago. Fading quickly. Roads clearing.

If you have an iPhone 6 or newer you can get altitude from the compass.you need to enable location services in the privacy settings first,

150m Kilkenny Laois border

Raining on the n7 into Dublin at the red cow. Footpaths lethal.

Will be a nightmare trying to collect kids from school if it does get upgraded but at the moment can't see anything falling bar rain

Just be careful, though. Some in-built GPS apps don't correct for the geodetic height and can therefore read around 55-60 metres too high. Not sure about the iPhone compass. Best is to confirm with My Elevation or gridreference.ie

Cold rain here in East Clare with gusts of wind.

Rebelbrowser · 31-01-2019 08:25AM

Just looking at the rainfall forecast and the corresponding temps on met.ie I still think back edge snow for many is likely as this retreats. Extent of that precipitation could be the problem. That retreat could be from 3pm to 10pm so this is a long day ahead yet folks.

Great. I was s bit worried that it might be slippery on the footpaths. Seems we got lucky

Met Éireann seem confident of snow tonight for Dublin and Leinster. “Snow accumulations possible on lower levels” Bring it on baby

Dublin 7. Footpaths treacherous.

DOCARCH · 31-01-2019 08:29AM

Light snow reported at Belmullet, and sleet reported at Dublin AP, at 0700.

adam240610 · 31-01-2019 08:32AM

The rain in greystones an hour ago has frozen solid onto paths in my area, real dangerous walk to the bus in my area

Muckka · 31-01-2019 08:32AM

Raining quite heavy now in North Clare.

catrat12 · 31-01-2019 08:32AM

Bring it on

adocholiday · 31-01-2019 08:33AM

Something more like hail than snow falling here near Rathdrum. To commute or not now is the question.

Parts of the footpaths in the city are very slippy

Graces7 · 31-01-2019 08:38AM

Just stuck my head out of the door and the stone wall opposite of the old cowshed is all sparkly with falling ice crystals. So pretty! 150 years old so it could tell some tales.

Another half hour before i can see what is happening out there but feels colder than ever... wind rising too
