Jan 2025 - Snow & Freezing Conditions - Discussion PART II

The snow line in Dublin/Wicklow is around 200 m at the moment and quite sharp, which can be seen below from Tallaght, though there were some remaining patches of snow on the outskirts of Citywest. Blessington looks to have gotten around 5 cm last night but it's turned into a bit of a compacted slushy mess but still not too bad outside the village itself. I was hoping to get a photo of the view looking down on Dublin but was unfortunately roped into an unwanted conversation!

Cold rain and 6 degrees here, iv never been so misled by a forecast like the one they issued last thursday. Above freezing by day and by night for the entirity of the cold spell, tonight they say temperature will be between minus 5 and 0, yet im getting a minimum of 4 with a stupid yellow hazzard sign, for what?

ill barely notice the change in conditions by the time we transition back to standard pig muck next friday, what a huge let down and atrocious inaccurate and misleading forecasting.

I would have thought you have been around the weather forum long enough and have more sense than to throw the toys out of the pram over some difficult to predict snow.

Slight thaw here before the next band arrives which doesn't look as intense.

More Sleet and snow forecast for this evening and an orange warning back in force tomorrow according to the lunchtime forecast

Snowing again in Kinnitty, Co Offaly.

Condor, South Offaly is where it’s at!

WIthout wanting to derail the thread. Does he even give any criteria for his warnings? At least Met Eireann have strict criteria. Not saying that an impact based system would be better but at least it can be tailored to areas usual weather.

Stopped snowing 20 minutes ago. There is now a thaw underway. I expect the temperature will drop sufficiently after dark so that any snow then will hopefully start sticking again. Unless we get a pesky mild sector, which could happen with these troughs.

I Took a walk up the road here to where I can see across to the Sliabh Bloom mountains. Except I couldn't see them, so whether it's rain, hail , sleet or snow that's incoming, remains to be seen! Portlaoise.

Light rain at the moment in SW Laois helping with the thaw out, but looking at the radar heavier precipitation on the way which might turn back to snow?

To Be sure to be sure all PPN from East N East direction as well!

I'm on the back road to Mountmellick , snow falling here now.

Funny, just started to snow here now!

Get out of here:)
