I understand that you go completely by what the data shows and keep any emotions at bay but we're getting reports of heavy and sticking snow already and at relatively low levels. Is this giving you cause to reconsider what will evolve during the day, based on what is actually happening now rather than what the data is showing?

It does look to be a degree or so colder than progged, but when I talk of snow I mean proper snow, not the wet stuff that seems to be falling. Here down the road from you it's just cold rain at 65 m amsl, with about 10% sleet thrown in there. I can't see any thing of note falling throughout the day but it would be nice if it did. WBTs around the country still too high for me.

Snowing here Shinrone, Offaly for an hour now. Quite heavy too. Sticking on cars and trees. Not roads.

Snowing heavily in Kinnitty, Co Offaly. Unlike Shinrone it is sticking to the roads. I think it’s time for a run in the Slieve Blooms to enjoy the weather.

Lashing white gold in Newbridge but not sticking at the moment , it’s trying to on the grass

It is only a few days ago when some people were togging out.

Massive drop in cork city all of a sudden, reporting 2 degrees at cork airport now. Hustling up to 35kts aswell now.

Rain is gone though so chances of snow are gone too

redsteveireland · 03-03-2019 3:39pm

Little pieces of ice in the drops now, just as the precipitation appears to be clearing.

Pegging down snow on the m7 near Portlaoise, glad I got off the motorway as it was starting to get tricky. There is a light dusting of snow on the grass outside. Will be horrible if it freezes over tonight

Sticking everywhere here now. No sign of it letting up at all!
