A cold start to Spring with widespread frost. -4c atm at Mount Dillion.
Lost electric at about 1.30am for 4 hours due to the wind. We've had named storms that haven't been as bad. Just about to check for damage outside.
Co. Leitrim
Nasty ominous sky; thick clouds of darkest gray and a biting snarling wind ...but quieting now
West Mayo offshore
A tree 2 bins and some of gate down.
Still only got to 100kph in Sligo but sounded worse. That'll do now wind. That'll do.
Calm and quiet ,,, Ana now the clouds are diminishing. there is indeed a smattering of snow atop the furthest mountains.
A lovely afternoon with the sun starting to shine fully
Offshore West Mayo
Last night was propably the windiest night in over a year, everything was creaking and rattling with the wind, some branches down in the garden and garden furniture knocked over.
The good news is that we should see a decent lift up in temperatures beginning from this Monday, with temperatures possibly reaching 20 or 21C during Easter weekend, after that we may go into another cold spell.
What part you in, I'm in carrick on Shannon and we didn't lose power but boy it was gusty
Just outside Fenagh, Ballinamore.
No damage thank God but power was out for a good few hours.
Met forecasting a mini heatwave, with a tropical air plume due to sit on us. This also means heavy rainfall for south and west
The hills are all white here this morning in Donegal, a pleasant looking surprise.
A bitter bitter chill breath off the ocean. Blue skies threatened by ponderous clouds. A chicken soup day..
And sudden strong intermittent wind gusts.
Recent wintry looking shower on the N4, near Leixlip, Dublin
Cool here in Kerry despite the sunshine, creeping up to 8.4C now , hail shower this morning.
Good frost this morning after getting down to -1.3C
Afternoon getting gusty and the wind is battering the window panes. But I've a good turf fire on and plenty of sods beside me. Some nice stew I think. The two dogs inside and curled up near by.
North Kildare
Onshore
Dont think thats snow highdef, been hailstoning on an off for the last couple of hours in Dublin, big stones too. Wintry all the same.
Winter finally arrives in Greystones. 👍️ Heavy hail with lots of lightning/thunder.
What a mad day it has turned out to be.
Started off freezing this morning but lovely and sunny, and finally no breeze so school walk was very pleasant once wrapped up and I was thinking it will be pleasant by afternoon in that sun.
School finished early, so was looking forward to trip to park. Then out of nowhere wind started picking up + it was bitter cold + then the hail showers came.
So much for spring, more like winter.
A tough 40km drive this evening with wet snow settling in parts and a few icy patches on high ground, 0C and foggy too just to test my driving skills in the left hand drive!
Another wintry night out there.
Currently -3 at Athenry.
Horrible day out blustery cold and dull. Would this winter ever feck off now please.
Nice day in Arklow yesterday, got cloudy but dry
Dry and cloudy so far today
But a wonderfully disturbed cloudscape
Fine morning in Greystones (so far) but dark thundery looking cloud building from the south.
Strong cold winds cutting you in two in Leitrim. Awful.
Is there any sign of the weather taking up? Or at least warming up.
Cold, wet, dark in Wicklow now.
Weather was more Spring like in December to be honest.
Wet this evening but at least that godawful biting cold wind is gone.
Lovely Easter holidays. Lashing rain Wicklow hills this morning.
Lovely Easter holidays. Lashing rain Wicklow.
Yeah, last two days have been horrible, so disappointing on Easter holiday.
The cinema/ play centres will be packed today.
Miserable morning in Kildare with pulses of moderate rain.
Dry here in Castlebar with a mix of cloud and short sunny spells. Feeling much milder in any sunshine
