Cold spell - 14/15th January onward

Had a spin this morning Mayo to Mohill Leitrim.

Got up early to allow for bad roads.

All fine temp on the car never went below 2.5 degrees.

My station hit a low of -6.4C south of cork city, still -5.1C at the moment. It will be interesting to see what the max is today, yesterday got up to 6C in the afternoon.

Strange up and down trace overnight from -4C at around 4:30 shot up to briefly +ve around 6:00 and down again to min of -4.4 C at 8:15

Currently -1.7°C

Valentia -3 at 10am. Thats a pretty rare one

They've had a nice bit of snow up in Ulster overnight. Stealing all our snow again the feckers! Hopefully later tonight there will be some snow down here

Still -5 at Moore Park (near Fermoy, ca. 25 miles north of Cork city) at 10.30am. -3 still widely across the city. Some places unlikely to get above zero you'd imagine.

These kind of temps at night in January during the 80s wouldn't raised an eyebrow. It just shows how far we have come. By the way did you hear about the mjo passing through phase six soon:)

Mental altogether must be over 100 pages between both threads for a skift of snow 🙈

-7.4 recorded in Thomastown this morning.

The clouds in the distance here have a snowy look about them. Now to see if they actually make it this far.

You would think Met Eireanns forecast of 0 to -4 tonight is underestimating the cold, certainly for the South!! Its hovering 0 all day in Cork and last night got down to -6!!

Things like pipes freezing is going to be a major issue by Friday I would think. Any mild sector clearing tonight
