    I think a wintry mix best describes today in Letterkenny, hail, graupel, sleet and snow at various intervals. Nothing too interesting other than the brief downpours of large hail

    Clear skies and sunny in Dublin. Cold and blustery obviously.

    Hope the skies stay clear long enough to wrap up rugby training

    Didn't get through training. Had to call it. Horizontol snow is no fun for kids..

    (Or adults)

    A fun drive across the country from wicklow to galway. Every type of weather encountered along the way. Beautiful clear skies followed by severe gusts and blinding sleet. About to do the return trip. Should be fun.

    Pelting down snow in Lucan now. Got very dark very quickly and a loud clap of thunder before it started. Doesn’t appear to be sticking at all.
