    Its freezing out there!!!!!!

    Just back from walk + definitely coldest day in Dublin.

    Only slight wind but bitter along with cold rain!

    We were well wrapped up but still great to be back indoors.

    Nice showers coming in from the east in the next few hours. Whether they will fall as rain, sleet or snow is anyone's guess. Currently 2.1 degrees at my station in Carlow.

    Not sure exactly what altitude but it is what it says on the tin.

    The UKMO's 00Z chart shows much the same, though there is a second area stretching further up the east coast up to Larne now, encompassing coastal areas.
    Occasional moderate rain showers
    Isolated moderate sleet showers, heavy hail/thunder showers
    Isolated moderate snow showers on mountains

    Quite a different vista here on the coast. 2.6c currently, rain and hail.

    Expecting inland locations to get some snow like Kildare over the next 48 hrs but for here I don't see it.

    With winds light the off limits zone shouldn't extend that far inland maybe 10 to 15 kms would be my guess from here.

    Latest wbt, temperatures and weather. Very sloppy around the coasts.

    The convection coming in behind from the east is very low-topped (~8,000 ft), so not much oomph in it.

    Yeah, those anvils associated with the trough in the southeast were at about 20,000 ft.

    Sleet shower here in central Meath. Thought it’d be snow as it was freezing beforehand.
