    Looking out the window in D2 and there's some very light sleet falling. It's a really fine drizzle.

    I think it will be rained out by the time it makes its way south again.

    Have a feeling that some of that moisture out at sea will be heading back in towards us.

    Wet, cold and miserable here in Limerick City, currently 5c and raining, can't see much in the line of snow here. Possibly east Limerick at higher elevations could get some accumulations

    Dublin 14 here with a direct view of Three Rock usually but it's completely obscured now. When it was visible it was covered in snow, but can't tell what's falling up there now

    No, streamers are a lake effect where as this is moisture that is already out there and the wind direction is changing. Hopefully we get this first and streamers later!

    I've to drive to the south west from Dublin tonight. Rain is fine. Dry Is fine. Snow is unwelcome and unwanted.
    Down with that sort of thing!

    Skating rink up there for those without winter tyres. Kilikee Road.

    Reminds me of the time I drove the Conor Pass when it was closed because a car went past the signs ahead of me! Iced up it was and I knew my family would kill me if they knew,,, if the ice did not do it for them ;)

    No regrets .. sheer white beauty.. but even now writing about it my stomach clenches.. YOU know! Crawled along praying aloud.. from the Dingle end

    Not everyone likes snow so he has a opinion about it.
    Anyway, going into meltdown over a cm or so of snow is comical.

    Still just horrible in Tullamore. Hasn't stopped raining all day. Not a snowflake to be seen.

    200 pages, and most of us have had a wet icy day and not much else this week. Time to look ahead and see if there is one last fling for winter in the next two weeks otherwise, I'm calling it over.

    Rain seems to have taken some of temps down.

    Such a marginal event, a slight change in any of the variables and you get fluffy snow or cold rain.

    It's why Ireland has a love hate relationship with snow.

    I'd take any level of cold instead of 4C with driving wind and rain as it was this morning. ****ing horrible weather.
