Snowing out the road from you in Tara. Ground turned white. Should be with you soon Gonzo.

Friend said its snowing in tallaght

Not looking forward to the morning commute, looks like more snow inbound after what fell last night (SW Laois)

I'd say he meant Carrick on Shannon - sorry!

Still have a covering here. I thought we might get more overnight, but I suspect any showers could have turned back to rain. The Northerlies of old would have left 3 to 4 inches of snow on the ground.

All white from overnight snow near Roscrea but just about 1 cm covering.

Temp barely fell below zero and hovering around 1 since about 4 am

Just had another shower that started off as sleety snow, which turned fully to rain by the end of it. I just hope it clears up now before all the snow has gone, but that is very unlikely.

Had about 2cm last night, Kildare/Carlow border. Going north on M9 this morning had dissapeared long before Kilcullen. Easy commute in the end.

Yes, it's cloudy. There is little evidence of any precipitation, frozen or otherwise anywhere near you on the radar.

As an aside (and I say this as a comment on reportage, not a climate change comment as I have no dog in that fight) but interesting to note that there has been industrial quantities of snow falling in the alps the last week with more the next couple of days. Temps there likely to be way below zero for the next 10 days, day and night (and -10 or lower by night generally). Seems to have gotten just a tad less press coverage than the green slope pictures of a fortnight ago though.... and yes, I get that the unusual is more newsworthy, but when it was being used as further evidence that the world's climate is f***ed you'd think that updating the story would have been a good news story? Obviously there's plenty basis for thinking the world's climate might be in big trouble and I am not intending to convey a contrary view...
