As suggested in other thread, starting new thread, to continue discussion, and reduce the issue of 'Vanilla Tremble' (…another great new Boards feature!!!).
After event, will merge threads.
light snow in north Ros, will need a good disturbance to give much accumulations as many showers are dying out in intensity after a short time
So just a quick update from my own locality,One of the worst falls of snow experienced ever. Majority have no power,water,phone coverage and of course WiFi. Cars that were abandoned sat night and yesterday are still at the side of the road. The only mode of transport to get around safely are jeeps and tractors. Not a sign of any council staff to try clear roads.
The only people trying to clear the roads are farmers. They are also driving to nearby villages and towns to pick up essential supplies. My mobile data only works the odd time so I can't even upload pictures. Looks like there is another few bleak days ahead around here before the thaw. I recorded 9 inches of snow,a neighbour on higher ground recorded 18 inches.
The gutters of a few houses have been destroyed with the weight of snow on them. A lot of roofs on cattle sheds have also collapsed.
The Shannon radar is back online on the Netweather precip radar. Prob my favourite of the lot
Thats a great job Yagan, exactly the kind of maps I was looking for. Very similar to the old raintoday site. Thank you!
He is one of the best, so courteous and polite, doesn't scoff at posters or mean.
Yeah, the go kart driver side seems to be on the left. 🙃
could be some suprises to come this evening..
Snowing solidly on Monaghan Fermanagh border.
If you read the replies at the tweet, it is in Ireland. Person who posted it answers the queries just as you asked

In answer to what you said re electricity the person replied to a similar query with
"Generator thank god"
So THE GRID electricity is gone
Delighted that loads of people got the snow they wanted. It was strange to be a Donegal bystander!
But I'm due to fly out from Belfast tomorrow and I just had a feeling it was coming our way. Decided to travel up today and boy am I glad! It's been snowing solidly for the last hour and there's nothing more beautiful than looking out at it from your hotel window. There's even a lampost so I can watch all night 😀
Moderate snow in Belfast now

There's a nice options in the dropdown menu where you see the difference between where it's raining, sleeting and snowing.
No electricity? You can see the reflection of ceiling lights in the window.
It's probably not even from Ireland.
Leaving East Clare wasnt too bad. Slushy roads. M18 the grandest. Same with Galway city. Just wet & cold. Don't know what the morning will bring when I do the return journey.
From a post at KildareMet twitter a/c
"This is going to take a while…… no electricity, no water"
Apparently the snow came down off the roof
I was just looking for Raintoday as well. Definitely gone! There is a net weather app I found but I'm not sure how accurate it is.
My car yday morning..east kerry..
Today, Ticknock, Dublin...425 mtrs
If that's the case i wouldn't be confident there won't be sudden mild sectors tomorrow either. If it's just going to be a sleety mess tonight then I'd prefer to miss the showers altogether.
Are there any good sites where you can see the snow showers on radar? I remember using raintoday.co.uk years ago to track the streamers circa 2010 but that site seems to have met it's demise
I see temperatures are to lift for me from 1c to 3c between 7pm and 10pm I hope not because I really want some lying snow 😕 going by met Eireann temperature map temperatures not falling below -2c so it mustn't be picking up the snow fields or anything
Wow, keep that photo, what a sight!
And thanks for the input here and on X Wolfe.
Some nice weather due for the week here, CCC, cold at night but the 3 to 5C temps should take care of any daytime ice I think.
Mild sector in now snow turned to sleet.
Aperge next 72 hours.
It’ll be a sleety mess soon in the north but better chances of something a bit more sustained staying on the ground from anything that falls later on tomorrow and Wednesday evening for N areas.
1pm Saturday breaking down , 2c in north. 10c far SW
Colder air is sticking around a bit longer compared to previous run at same time
1am Sunday
Sunday 1pm and much milder everywhere.
Mod Note: whiskey-galore no need for that talk on the weather forum, we ask for civil discourse and abiding by the forum charter. If not going to do so do not post here.
Just back from a walk... it snowed for 10 minutes, but nothing since then. There is not much better than hearing the crunch sound underfoot as you walk on compacted snow. Hopefully now with freeze on we will get an organised band of snow showers later on.
Thankyou 😊 I won't mention it to my kids and get their hopes up, but it would be nice 😁 Were happy we've had what we've had. No lying snow so far, but to see something this close to Christmas is like a dream come true for us. Were lucky if we see something every other time Ireland gets snow 😊
Mod Note: Icicle2025 you were instructed on previous snow and freezing conditions thread not to post on the thread, this is a continuation of previous thread, do not post on this thread also.
but not Meath 😭😭😭😭
