    That's a great picture!



  • Registered Users Posts: 443 ✭✭Robwindstorm


    That sure is a beautiful photo. You should enter that into a competition or have it picture framed. The colour of the sky and sea is spectacular. Well done

    Not in Donegal at the moment but looks to be snowing/wintry mix




  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 14,654 ✭✭✭✭M.T. Cranium


    Several locations in NI have 1 C temp and dew points, with radar quite active over most of Ulster. Can imagine it's snowing above about 200m in that. Will move into parts of north midlands later tonight, probably turning to all wet snow. 2-5 cm potential.

    Belmullet gusting 45 knots from the North East as this feature passes through.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 529 ✭✭✭Goldfinch8


    Snowing just east of Castlebar now. Started off as a real sleety mix but gradually turned to snow. Plenty of big flakes and fairly marginal stuff by the looks of it.



  • Moderators, Science, Health & Environment Moderators Posts: 16,999 Mod ✭✭✭✭Gonzo


    Heavy sleet here at Dunshaughlin, so very close to snow but just too marginal. This would have led to a decent dusting or more a few weeks ago.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,197 ✭✭✭.Donegal.


    Ballyhaise recorded recent snow



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,197 ✭✭✭.Donegal.




  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 6,196 ✭✭✭OldRio


    Serious amount of Snow in Leitrim. This is proper stuff and the our first of the winter (Not counting that wet stuff from last week)

    Started about 10 mins ago and laying.

    Crazy Hail in Kildare was almost expecting some lightning

    Hefty rain shower in Greystones and was almost expecting some lightning too!



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 17,199 ✭✭✭✭nacho libre


    Heavy shower of Sleet.



  • Moderators, Home & Garden Moderators, Science, Health & Environment Moderators Posts: 18,283 Mod ✭✭✭✭DOCARCH


    Hint of sleet to that rain now. 4.2c atm. Tops of Dublin/Wicklow Mountains should be getting a top up.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 6,196 ✭✭✭OldRio


    It lasted all of 30 minutes. Then sunshine. Wet mix of sleet and rain showers at the moment.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,197 ✭✭✭.Donegal.


    Maybe some transient accumulations tomorrow

    Cloudy tomorrow morning as rain in the southwest and west extends to all areas by lunchtime, preceded by some local sleet or snow with some temporary accumulations possible. Continuing wet through the afternoon and evening with poor driving conditions. The rain will be heavy in places resulting in some spot flooding. Afternoon temperatures of 2 to 5 degrees in the north, 7 to 11 degrees generally. Fresh and gusty south to southeast winds later veering southerly.

    Cold here in carrick on shannon was some snow last night and I'm in another yellow snow warning ⚠️ for tonight



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 9,932 ✭✭✭Cluedo Monopoly


    We will remember this cold March period for a few years and it does give us decent hope that Ireland can still produce snow, that we still have the 'technology'.

    What are they doing in the Hyacinth House?

  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 17,199 ✭✭✭✭nacho libre


    I will remember it for being Another Snow Letdown as someone put it. It might as well have rained....



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 9,932 ✭✭✭Cluedo Monopoly


    Beautiful evening in Galway. Stars are out. Chilly.

    2C and rain. ME forecast for rain all day. Dreadful stuff altogether.

  • Moderators, Science, Health & Environment Moderators Posts: 16,999 Mod ✭✭✭✭Gonzo


    Back into another Atlantic onslaught from the looks of it, next few weeks look unsettled with rain or showers every single day. Looks unsettled right into first week of April. This Spring is shaping up to be vastly different to last Spring where it was warm, dry and settled for most of it.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,197 ✭✭✭.Donegal.


    Snowed this morning. Just patchy accumulation at my altitude cars roofs etc but wasn’t much.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,224 ✭✭✭Kutebride


    Defrosting car windscreen at 6a.m

    Looking out at wet muck now. Boo. Kids had loads planned outdoors at school today.

  • Moderators, Science, Health & Environment Moderators Posts: 16,999 Mod ✭✭✭✭Gonzo


    No one will be going outside the door today, absolute relentless pig muck and it's to stay like this till the morning, so a 24 hour rain event, possibly the 3rd one of the past week.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 13,679 ✭✭✭✭sryanbruen


    After how stunning and record-breaking last March was with its sunshine, not surprised one bit how cloudy and unsettled this March is. Though after the few days I had last week, no complaints from me for a change! Fantastic sunrise this morning I missed too before the miserable rain came.

    Just drove over a road at 180m asl. Still snow lying in the grass but won’t take long to wash away with the rain.

    Horrific day in Cork, raining non stop since mid last night, getting absolutely sick of rain and oppressive grey skies.

    Dreadful, depressing day. Atlantic muckfest.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,750 ✭✭✭Dazler97


    I am right in saying that if we have a cold march its usually a great summer ☀️ so hopefully we do get a great one 😀 just gone 20 past 6 and still bright loving the great stretch in the evenings, sure clocks go forward on 26th at 1am



  • Registered Users Posts: 443 ✭✭Robwindstorm


    Anyone know last night's minimum temperature. Taps in shed were frozen at 7am so it was fairly hard?



  • Moderators, Home & Garden Moderators, Science, Health & Environment Moderators Posts: 18,283 Mod ✭✭✭✭DOCARCH




  • Registered Users Posts: 443 ✭✭Robwindstorm


    I am in Meath, but would also be curious about the national minimum Tuesday night. It just seemed severe enough. Thanks



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 9,932 ✭✭✭Cluedo Monopoly


    Feels very mild this morning. Almost balmy.

    The bird sounds are amazing these past few days. So much activity.

    This is the problem with getting long dry spells there is nearly always a payback. As regards having a good summer, well you better hope we don't get a strong el nino event, as that usually means a wet summer for us. It's also not good news if you want colder weather during winter.




  • Registered Users Posts: 156 ✭✭Niall145


    So yeah, i think that's pretty much it for winter 22/23; I'd give it a 5/10 (and that's being generous), literally the most extreme example of a bookended winter ever, with 2 good weeks at the start of December, one good week at the start of March, and nothing but pure crap for the 2.5 months in between (February in particular); only giving it such a high rating because of the beautiful snowy scenes I saw in Dublin/Wicklow during December and March (last Friday was literally the deepest snow I've ever seen in Ireland, only 6 miles from Dublin city centre lol); anyway the outlook for the rest of March looks pretty vile, and I've no great expectations for our spring or 'summer'.

    I would have given the winter 2 out of 10 and only for the cold spell at the start of December and tumbleweeds for the rest of winter. The March cold spell has nothing to do with winter as is in the Spring.
