I know this sounds crazy but some method to my madness, I try do long exposures with my phone in the direction of precip to highlight where cloud actually is,

we may be on to something

Very light covering here in Virginia. You can use all the apps you want. YR, AccuWeather both had snow for here over the weekend but ME had sleet. ME had snow today and it came. Not expecting much at all but happy dogs running around

watching from the sideline in Gorey, not a flake and grounded below 100 asl, boohoo, loving all those snow updates and photos, so keep them coming

Some good drifts gathering on some of the back roads around the NW Roscommon/Mayo border area. A good lot of wet snow fell in a pretty prolonged shower from about 10:00 until about 11:30 this morning. A few hit and miss showers since then.

Temp seems to have risen from -1 at about 18:00 to just above freezing the last hour though. So there's a very slight thaw on at the minute.

Met Eireann forecasting a chance of snow in Wicklow until 3am tonight. I really hope not, came home from work this evening to find a large boulder in the road from my dry-stone retaining wall. Frost-heave at work I expect so I hope it stays dry now for the remainder of this cold spell, I've enough to be worrying about without that craic!

that just passed over me, I wouldn't feel too bad on missing out on it, ye need a magnifying glass to count the individual snow flakes. It's alot less intense than what's showing up on that radar.

Artane2002 · 06-01-2025 11:07PM

The snow has arrived in Artane 🎉

John.Icy · 06-01-2025 11:10PM

Aye passed over here already in D9 it seems. Maybe Netweather radar is not aligned correct on the map and I skimmed the outer edges but I don't even think a snowflake hit the ground it was so light.

But look, tick the box. Tick the box.

Another interesting set up on Friday with rain moving up across the country during the morning hit that colder air over Ireland again. We could see further falls of heavy snowfall in places through Friday morning and the afternoon. One to watch at the moment.

Can’t see anything significant coming Cork’s way, if that’s where you are at the moment

snowing here in Beaumont north Dublin

Only a light flurry here but agreed, at least I can say I saw snow falling this winter (also my first January snow in three years). That aside, I'm surprised by how hard the frost is already.

Meteorite58 · 06-01-2025 11:14PM

A few isolated thunderstorms, especially in coastal areas overnight perhaps.

teddybones · 06-01-2025 11:14PM

appears to be a rapid thaw now in East Mayo so assume we have hit the slightly warmer sector of upper air temps. Closest station to me is 0.3 degrees. Expect it to chop and change tonight. Maybe more sneacta in the morning.

Slashermcguirk · 06-01-2025 11:15PM

Snowing in Dublin 5. Trumpet playing! It's light snow, it's a flurry but snowflakes nonetheless.

lordleitrim · 06-01-2025 11:15PM

Flurry in Donabate

TTLF · 06-01-2025 11:16PM

light snizzle, as John.Icy said, tick the box but nothing much lol

Yeah, better than nothing. 😀

esposito · 06-01-2025 11:17PM

Can the snow shower make it to south Dublin I wonder. Probably not

18z GFS quite the upgrade on the 12z alright. Much better disruption SE of the energy and no secondary barreling through of the wave NE to bring in a quicker transition to rain and milder air. Delaying the overall end by only half a day or so but would be a fair enough chance of 10+ hours of snow again in favoured inland and higher spots.

Need ECM and co. to start churning out some more interesting options.
