No snow in Cork but the amount of rain we go over the past few days :O

Went for a drive a while ago and there was more surface water than i've seen in quite a few years. Streams were overflowing and farmland extremely flooded in places.

Sleety wet snow now in Celbridge (65 m amsl). Not worth a shíte.

Maybe not where you are, but inland it is!

The face of pessimism isn't always right!

Fairly heavy in carlow.

It turned to snow for a while here in West Clare, but back to rain since around 2, currently 4.2c and rising, precipitation nearly gone.

HelloMrSnowman · 03-03-2019 5:16pm

Extremely heavy in Newbridge atm, couple of cm already and no signs of stopping, might head out to the Curragh with the sleds and make the most of it

Interesting to see the temperature variation around the country at the moment, Johnstown, Belmullet and Malin Head showing 10C, 9C and 8C respectively, while the majority of others are down to 3C or below.

This was not forecast for our area either. Roads are lethal.

1607 met update

Heavy rain, over much of Leinster, Munster and parts of south Ulster, will continue to fall as sleet and snow in places, giving some accumulations of snow and poor driving conditions. But mainly dry in west Ulster and west Connacht. Gusty northerly winds along the south coast.

At lunchtime they were saying no significant accumulations away from high ground,what sort of forecasting is that

Many major roads are covered and big towns

I am officially declaring this a major snow incident.

50mm on the roof of the car

Bucketing down snow here in Kilkenny City.

DOCARCH · 03-03-2019 5:27pm

Sleet now in Dublin 16. 2.4c DP 1.4c now.

mfceiling · 03-03-2019 5:29pm

Not to sound smart but if people could post their location it would be great in case others are heading that way.
Not much point saying "loads here and the roads are slippy"... Not a great help to those maybe having to head out.

Edit * very heavy here at kingswood heading into Dublin on the N7*

Irish Steve · 03-03-2019 5:30pm

Snow falling in Ashbourne, which I didn't expect from the radar pictures. Not sticking at present, large enough flakes, and heavy enough to be nice to watch, but still surprised to see it today.
