Jan 2025 - Snow & Freezing Conditions - Discussion PART II

Snowing away just outside enniscorthy here aswell not sticking but more than i expeted

Over 25cm of snow here in the hills of North Kilkenny. Still heavy downpours as well. We don't have the drifts on the road like 2018 (yet) but the snow is just as deep and heavy.

5 minutes outside wexford town at about 160m asl

still nothing in Louth 😭

How many cm have you there?

not that unusual in Cork anyway. Get some snowfall most years, already had some 2 months ago. FYI, we had 40cm from streamers in my suburban estate ever before storm Emma too.

Dublin mountains a great resource for Dublin though, I’ll grant you. I’d have to drive 40 mins to mountains here.

Anyway, hope ye Dubs get some snow.

Im off sledding with the kids now.

Has basically lashed rain since 5pm yesterday in Swords, not a fleck of snow. So much rain that my lawn has puddles on it, if it had of been snow it would have been of epic proportions. Actually, There has hardly been a flake of snow worth talking about since 2018, had a little bit in 2020 on New Year’s Eve morning but genuinely depressing lack of snow. Today is just a horrible wet cold grey day, total shite!!!

we had a brief flirtation with sleet here about an hour ago in D15. Back to lashing rain. Hopefully it snows here at some point today. I’m dying to see what my puppy makes of it!

Had to go from Clare to Limerick City today. Should have gone yesterday but was sick. Some very hard snow along the way. 2 things got me seeing people pull in to sides where a build up of snow was so hope they get out.

Also on the dual carriage just before limerick and behind 3 cars and there was a car been loaded up and the front car decides to brake hard to have a look like an idiot.

Also use your indicators in time if you are turning or or a roundabout so people have enough time to know where you are going

Nearly a foot of snow on the road here in Tipperary and two foot behind the house and in the fields, it’s like a bilizard here since this morning and no sign of stopping

The kids attempting a snowman. Naas.

just measured it there it’s approx 40cms give or a take a few

Looking ahead Tomorrow morning Monday into Tuesday some very heavy showers are forecast to move down across the country with the North & northwestern areas at a good risk of some hail & snow showers with the potential for thunder snow. Some accumulations also likely.

Some of the showers look like they will work there way well down the country with some troughs lines possible.

Finally snowing heavily in New Ross and it's sticking.
