    Stunning @sryanbruen, we take it for granted up here sometimes.

    Silver Strand over by Glencolmcille is worth a visit. Only became aware of it myself 3 or 4 years ago. Looks stunning any weather or any time of year.

    Agree, I love this weather over East, good hard frosts, seasonal weather and the lot. For me snow can look beautiful, but can present difficulties for some folks. It’s ok if you don’t have to venture out in it. We have the usual service resuming this weekend … rain, wind, damp … can’t wait…

    Amazing picture @sryanbruen, are you a professional photographer?

    Whether you are or not you should enter that into a photography competition. It looks like what you'd expect in the Alps.

    It will be interesting to see how low it goes, low of -4.1C for me last night, -6.4C the night before and currently at -3.4C tonight!

    North Clare. Cold here tonight but not as severe as last night. Just had a slight shower of rain. Even ME are forecastibg temps to go positive here after 3AM. Thst shower felt to me like the beginning of the end really.

    Minus 1.8c currently in Sligo, 1c in Finner,

    The mild is filtering in but one or two areas will still challenge the minus 7c figure I'd imagine.

    The visibility today was superb. I could see the contours on the Maumturk mountains which are many miles away.

    It really has been a glorious start to 2024.

    What are they doing in the Hyacinth house?

    Tullow is at -6.6c presently. www.carlowweather.com

    The coldest spot of the night so far.

    With high pressure building/ridging I think parts of the south and southeast will challenge last night's -8.6c in Thomastown, Co. Kilkenny.

    No luck in Kildare but this thread has been great craic. Thanks to @WolfeEire, I'm glad you got snow after keeping the dream alive to the end.

    I'm hoping to make the leaderboard in the next Irish Winter Open. 😁

    Thanks @Leg End Reject

    One more pic from my snowy corner of Clare before the inevitable drip drop drip tomorrow afternoon. Jupiter and a skewed moon shot (tips please @sryanbruen 😛).

    Enjoyed the thread too. I may actually have enjoyed the chase more (ps...that damn mild sector).

    I think I'm like a dog chasing down the wheel of a car. Wouldn't know what to do with it were I to catch it.

    The slow, terminal dilution of the cold airmass over Ireland has begun with a returning polar maritime airmass seeing temperatures increase in Atlantic coastal spots. Mace Head in Connemara at +6c is a full 12c milder than Moore Park (Ireland's Vladivostok) in Cork at -6c and 8 degrees warmer than Athenry in the east of the same county (Galway). Embedded cold and calm conditions in Moore Park and Athenry, along with their inland location, negates the milder airmass whereas there is a gentle to moderate SW breeze at Mace Head.

    Another hard frost in North Offaly this morning, the last for a while it seems. Here, at least, this spell won't live long in the memory, nice and dry mostly, quite sunny, some hard frosts, decent mid winter conditions but no snow unfortunately. Trying to look beyond two weeks to see if there a reload on the way. No idea tbh. Traditionally if the winds were from the west at the very end of January, early Feb, winter was nearly over. Very unscientific naturally but I'd say it's borne out in the stats.

    I might add I can't remember going this long into winter and not seeing a flake of snow at this location, we'd usually see something in December or early Jan, even if brief. Nothing so far and unlikely for the rest of Jan.

    Moore Park reporting -7c at 0500.

    In bigger news managed -0.1c in Greystones. Another win! 😂

    Actually both Thomastown and Dunmanway have since recorded -8.5 at 6.30am and 7am respectively! All down to whether one of them has one last drop in them at the 7.30am observations. That'll be the last chance one imagines....

    Was -5 this morning and a nice brisk walk down the hill with the family to the car.

    A van passed us on his way up and became unstuck at the same spot. Tomorrow it will be a distant memory 🤣
