    Gonzo did you get a dusting this morning?

    Rathoath got about 2cm from a streamer around 8am.

    got very little and I am only 2km from Ratoath. Just some graupel on pavements and car, nothing in the grass.

    I heard around the County Club has about 1cm on the ground, looks like I got the very edge of a shower.

    Sunny/snowy morning here in S Sligo. 3.5*c so don’t expect it to last long.

    We have different angles of a similar view - lovely image

    Looking down over south east Dublin. Some ominous cloud pushing in from the sea.

    that's a bit like in October 2008 (I think it was), i went to Berlin for a weekend and while I was there it snowed here at home. I've never seen lying snow in Ireland during October, but the one time it happened I was outside the country and there was no snow in Germany.

    The weather teased me a lot for New York. They had their best November snow since the late 19th century during the week I was originally going to have my holiday on (and apparently they have less snow in November on average than us which is a shocker). When I got there, it was cloudy and damp with similar Winter temperatures to us. The Sunday was dreadful. It was constant drizzle all day (at least in Ireland, it is rarely that constant with no break or ease) with a very thick fog. Could not see anything. However, it was much sunnier for the Monday to Wednesday thankfully. There was quite a windchill. The temperatures weren't far off values we've seen at our coldest this Winter (3/4c during the day) but for some reason, it felt absolutely bitter there in the Winter sunshine.

    A rare cloudless morning in Letterkenny, lovely frosty start. Still plenty of snow on the ground away from direct sunlight, surprisingly little melting since Tuesday. Not been a bad few days all things considered

    It was a fun week. Didn't get any sticking snow but I got some good crack out of lamp post watching early last night with the flakes and shleet falling (which I cannot say for every Winter though I'll still call this Winter ****e :P ) and it was nice looking at the many pics on here of snow which is always great.

    Has there ever been any reports of freezing rain in ireland? Saw some places in Europe get it this year and it looks crazy.

    Christmas day 2009! Certainly here in Cork it turned my estate, and any estate with hills, into a pop up ice rink. Absolutely lethal. You couldn't even walk outside.

    There was some yesterday in Dublin. When a rogue shower passed over Dublin early in the rush hour, the ground was still frozen. People were reporting that several people had slipped on the ice as a result of the freezing rain. I got home to North Kildare around 9am or so yesterday and the village was slick with ice.

    Same in Galway in 2009. Never saw anything quite like it.
    I have decent ice driving skills and the country roads were drive-able despite the snow/ice but the shower of freezing rain ended that abruptly. I couldn't even get up a slight incline around 40m from my house. Lethal is not the word.

    Lovely bright day in Tipp. Still traces of snow in the shadows. More up on the hills.

    This could well be my last snow photo for the year.
