Cold spell - 14/15th January onward

Where do you find those observations on met.ie? Thanks

Hit a low of -7.3C here, didn't expect it to get that low here unless the weather was from the east and there was snow cover.

Gonna miss this weather, so much nicer for getting out and about it.

N Tipp -4.7°C overnight, lowest of this spell. I'll be delighted to see the end of it.

Had to drive my kid to school there. At his school (at near enough sea level) the car temp was -5c. I went up a long hill then (rise of ca. 90m in altitude) and in the space of that two min drive the tenp rose to -1.5c. As clear an example of a temp inversion as you'll see. Mad all the same, so counterintuitive

-8 on the cars this morning.... love the sunny blue skies but it is seriously cold.

Keep in mind many of those wow stations are not official weather stations and don't have proven accuracy.

I recall yesterday morning Kerry airport reporting -9°c, I wonder how low it actually got with the decimal place.

Should have known. When it comes to Cork v Kilkenny, as the great Ringy put it (or it could have been Jack Lynch), Kilkenny win all of the classics. Of course that opens the argument as to whether this was a classic cold spell. To mix my sporting metaphors, some would argue that while it was a good cold spell, it wasn't a great cold spell. More of a Platini than a Beckenbauer if you will...

Cloud building up , I am just wondering if the rain will make it this far. I really wouldn't want to miss out on it.

The frost and sprinking of snow is hanging on for now.

Melt has well and truly started in cork. Sun is hitting the cars and ice is melting right away, footpaths defrosting for the first time in a week.

Temperature has risen from 0C at 10:30am to 6C now......the temp was going up this morning faster than it was dropping yesterday evening. Hasn't reached 6C here since Monday.

A glorious week, the accumulation of nightly frosts in areas shaded by the sun was a thing of beauty. Ended up looking like a light snow fall in these areas in the end.
