Yep my closest station was mt dillion -7c but yet in summer was 32c so all extremes its prone here

Just had another shower there 30 minutes ago. The drop in temperature did the trick, everything stuck. A nice dusting on all surfaces now. If things stay the right side of marginal for us there could be a decent covering by morning. However, I bet if the shower activity does increase through the next few hours the snow will turn sleet. Typical!

Snowing in tipp

Yeah, I reckon Mount Dillon is very often the coldest official station in the country during the winter months and conversely, the warmest in the summer months. My nearest official station too so I can vouch for it.

The images shared by people since early December have been nothing short of amazing.

Windy now in the NW with a recent gust of 47 knots at Sligo airport.

Newtown90 · 17-01-2023 07:50PM

Snowing away in Killarney the last few hours again after a lovely day.

highdef · 17-01-2023 07:55PM

Short flurry in kinnegad a few moments ago even though nothing on the radars. I'm longford bound and it looks like it's in the firing line in an hour or two along with many other parts of Connaught plus North and West Leinster

Kermit.de.frog · 17-01-2023 07:58PM

Not ruling out a couple of showers reaching Dub land overnight giving a dusting but it's hard work and ponderous progress of any showers in an airmass like this.

Neddyusa · 17-01-2023 07:59PM

Geographical position in the country and topography are two factors in Mt Dillon high and cold extremes, but another is soil type.

It's surrounded by an extensive area of drained peat soils and these bogs will always be warmer in summer and colder in winter.

nacho libre · 17-01-2023 08:10PM

The breeze has picked up here. The temperature I think has risen slightly too with it. There is another shower building up at the moment. Let's see what falls...

Just arrived at the house near Ardagh, Longford. Moderate snow shower was passing on arrival. Roads not great but completely passable with care, once you don't have to go up or down a hill of any sort. 0°

No but she comes regularly for a bit of food, she brought her cubs to the house also to introduce them at the end of the summer and my colleague thinks she was brought to the house by her mother a few years ago. My colleague has been putting out food for them for years.

the band of rain/sleet snow pushing down from the north disappeared into thin air as it crossed the border into Louth/Monaghan with nothing left in it now.

Their certainly getting braver and braver my neighbours do the exact same thing as well, same ones keep appearing at their house as to say "feed us now" there nice animals but a nightmare if you have chickens

nacho libre · 17-01-2023 09:14PM

Shower of graupel at the moment

Dazler97 · 17-01-2023 09:15PM

Some showers making it further east, i know Dublin isn't in a warning but that may change who knows, that give up yet lads ❄️😁

You should be getting some heavy precip now and for the next while in Carrick - how's it going?

Neddyusa · 17-01-2023 09:23PM

Some intense looking radar returns now out to the west of Donegal.

A nice few CM to fall for some places in the path over the next couple of hours if that cell stays intact.

nacho libre · 17-01-2023 09:27PM

Graupel has turned to proper snow now. Come on a few hours of this will do nicely now, not one shower every 40 minutes.

JCX BXC · 17-01-2023 09:31PM

Moderate snow shower in Galway City, readily settling in the footpaths from what I can see.

Mam of 4 · 17-01-2023 09:32PM

We had a brief few minutes of big flakes falling here , Portlaoise ❄️❄️

Oneiric 3 · 17-01-2023 09:34PM

OMG, it's like.. soooo snowing in Galway.

Meteorite58 · 17-01-2023 09:35PM

Inland Donegal is going to have a lot of snow by the looks of that. Some places up North have had close to 4 inches at this stage.

redsteveireland · 17-01-2023 09:41PM

Brief shower of graupel/ soft hail in Athenry. The excitement.

Omg mad watching the snow precip on the radar just glide across to the West.

Watching the radar with the 8yo this evening eat 6pm expecting snow showers at some stage tonight. Now family in the West sending us snow photos. Nada here. A few minutes of an attempt of white flakes.
