Jan 2025 - Snow & Freezing Conditions - Discussion PART II

ah yes but you’d always be more likely to get snow in North Cork

Only 20 to 25 miles away. It was raining here at 9 am and then changed from then on. The warmer air on coast in retreating so fingers crossed you get some as front clears.

light snow for a couple of hour, started getting a bit heavier here 10 miles north of macroom

I assume from the esb power check this is the area that has experienced heavy snowfall, is it due to head south this afternoon?

From a friend out in Newcastle West. There's no let up in the snow. Wonder what records there are like.

And that is the area that was/is in the orange warnings so Met E called it correctly

The snow is beautiful in the lower dublin mountains but the roads are full of cars parked on the road side.

AVOID!!!!!

Quite heavy snow here near Killarney all morning and still going, about 10 cm deep now. It's a bit wetter than I'd like, but good for building snowmen!

Well there was no snow here in south carlow this morning so I said I’d head out for my weekly swim in kilkenny. The lying snow and slush started about 1km from my house and continued all the way to Kilkenny with a lot of accumulations. The roads weren’t ploughed yet but no one out so it was fine. Definition of unnecessary journey I guess but I knew it would be ok until temperatures fall again. Home again now and some snow on the ground here now.

Ticknock in the Dublin Mountains. I didnt come from the car park at ticknock which Id say is undrivable/closed.

30 to 40cm of snow here now, and it's still coming down heavily. North Kerry 250m ASL

Still not one flake of snow here in Waterford City. Temp 2.1 C and Dew Point 1.6 C so not a chance.

There seemed to be a partial thaw overnight - the snow on the car all slid off.

Very heavy snow now near Roscrea. Everything covered again in minutes.

Temp 0.3°C/Dew -0.6°C

Wow fantastic. Reminds me of storm Emma.

I Wonder if anyone had a time lapse camera of the event in areas like north kerry limerick etc.. be interesting to see it accumulate and see time stamp.
