    I doubt we've seen the last of it in Dublin either, some very aggressive looking clouds up there atm!!

    snowing heavily now in the midland's.Birds flying in a south easterly direction presumably heading on holiday to a warmer climate,maybe wrong however.

    Thats got to be the first time I've seen lightening with this kind of weather. Mad!

    Seen it last winter with the prolonged fall of snow last winter in Munster. Was actually out working in it during the night. Very erey altogether to see the landscape lit up by lightening under those conditions.

    I remember it didn't feel all that cold but then again I was properly dressed and working so that probably helped.

    Light dashing of snow here in Navan, with hail mixed in. Surprising considering last night they said there wouldn't be any snow over these parts.

    Hmmm... temp is way to high, thaw will be gathering pace soon, and any precipitation from those dark clouds will be rain, at least for me!! :( Theres still tomorrow though! Congrats to the south east, you deserve it!

    Portlaoise is absolutely covered in snow. It's very nice to see the morning after the toy show.

  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 3,765 ✭✭✭Diddler1977


    Heavy hail woke me up at 6am in Dublin 15, more hail at 8am.

    Light dusting of snow that looks like it is melting.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2, Paid Member Posts: 4,073 ✭✭✭Panrich

    There was lightning and thunder sporadically going off here all night in Dublin 14, I could barely sleep I was so excited!

    It's still happening now, a little flash and a rumble just there.

    There's a good covering on the ground, but I don't think it's all snow, looks more like graupel.


    Does anyone know if it will stay here in Dublin with more snow or is it likely to melt today?


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 6,147 ✭✭✭TheMilkyPirate


    woke up to snow and lots of it :D

    Was looking at that Maq with worry. It might drop though if the showers get heavier which they are a bit now.

    Such a pity, but I hope this won't be the end of it for us in the city this year! :D

    I see the thunder & lightning, it's crazy weather, I wish our balcony looked out towards the coast rather than out west!
