Colder this week, some wintry/snow showers, widespread frost and ice.

-6 still at Moore Park. 30km away at Cork Airport it's 0c. Been that way over the the last 3 hours. Thing is I live near the airport and my station is -2.6. Moreover other stations nearby on Wunderground go from -3 to -5. Crucially though all those Wunderground stations, including mine, are at about 100m asl below the airport. Assume the airport's temp is evidence of temp inversion?

Met.ie radar still showing a swing and a miss for any showers making it onshore for Dublin? Bray gets a glancing blow around 2am. What model does their radar use?

Rock Lesnar · 10-12-2022 08:09AM

Temperature overnight didnt drop below 0c until about 7am here in my area of meath, its currently -0.3c but in the home place about 15km away, its -2c

Rosswind · 10-12-2022 08:09AM

I think it got to -12 on Christmas Day 2010 in Cork. I remember it well because pipes froze on our new extension before we had time to concrete them them! Nightmare.

Midday yestesterday close to Athenry was -2.0.

Met E, are wrong.

Neddyusa · 10-12-2022 08:16AM

Didn't read the whole thread, but I'm surprised not to have seen the words "Polar" and "Low" mentioned together yet?!!

I note Kermit that you decided to ignore the bit where MT said ye were like Messi (7 time Balon d'Or winner, multiple champions league winner, multi la liga winner, French title winner, Copa America winner, etc) OR HARRY KANE!

Why wouldn't they believe you?

It was -6 or lower in many places lastnight, including quite close to you.

pad199207 · 10-12-2022 08:36AM

Tiny dusting of fresh snow on the windshield in Kildare this morning

ascophyllum · 10-12-2022 08:40AM

Moderate rain in West Mayo, the snow line looks to be still 400m+, quite surprising as you'd often get a lot more snow and lower in Winter on the mountains, even with an Atlantic-sourced system

BLIZZARD7 · 10-12-2022 08:49AM

0.3c here, the minimum overnight was actually early ish yesterday evening at -1.4c. Mostly clear skies right now. D14

mcburns07 · 10-12-2022 08:50AM

The ever reliable car temperature reading is -3c this morning in East Cork

The MAX temp was -1.3c, not the lowest.

Kutebride · 10-12-2022 09:08AM

Horrible out there wit that low lying misty fog.

No frost on the car or it has melted.

Meath -2.

ffarrell7 · 10-12-2022 09:13AM

Still snow and ice covered in Dublin 15 - 1.

Snow showers on the way again for Dublin region tonight, Sunday and early days of next week according to Met Eireann.

Those are midnight to midnight Doc. Dublin Airport had an ice day too to my knowledge with -0.4C from 09-09.

Radar seems to have updated now, big blob of precip hits the Dublin at around midnight!

Indeed, the lowest in County Cork from that period was -12.8C at Mallow on Christmas Day.

PokeHerKing · 10-12-2022 09:28AM

Looking at met.ie temp radar and it has meath getting down to -11 Sunday noght into Monday . Showing -5 for my part of Dublin at 11am Monday! That's some proper cold 🥶

redsteveireland · 10-12-2022 09:31AM

Some small showers making their way south over Mayo and weakening over Galway, Tuam looks to have gotten something wintery this morning? I can see the showers dying out in the distance.

Pete2k · 10-12-2022 09:36AM

I'm north of Tuam and the showers were freezing rain. Paths and roads are lethal now

10-12-2022 09:43AM

I avoid driving when there is a danger of black ice, but brought the car onto the road this morning for an appointment, as it is 2C in Dublin. Still I was very nervous and drove with extreme caution, not my usual quick start, quick stop style. I’m absolutely dreading next week when I’ve a series of important appointments, and half thinking of booking taxis, as weather is set to get colder and with some showers of sleet/snow. Can’t wait for a thaw, don’t know how I’d cope in a cold country.

Slashermcguirk · 10-12-2022 09:43AM

So cold in Dublin this morning, beautiful day though. The ice is crazy though, especially in the housing estates.

Regarding December 2010, is there any way of finding out what the lowest temps recorded across the different counties. I seem to recall the lowest was around - 18.5 degrees

The coldest I’ve ever felt was in Verona in Italy one Christmas, very dank humid cold that penetrated through all my clothing right down to my skin. I’ve been way warmer in arctic regions.

Condor24 · 10-12-2022 10:02AM

Only snow nerds get this. Always checking the car after a frosty night for forensic evidence of a few grains of snow, and the satisfaction that confirmation brings with it...
