That was quick, the whole place is white already. V heavy snow here.

Heavy Rain here in Rathdrum, feels cold enough for snow though...

Just started to rain in Navan, Co Meath :mad:

Vudgie · 07-01-2011 04:56PM

Lashing rain in Dublin 2. From a lampost watch perspective it looks a bit sleety but that could just be my view as I haven't been out in it but perhaps someone else could confirm?

moderate rain falling the past half hour, had another look and It's turned to sleet now, so heading in the right direction

Raining in Trim too but it looks a little like it could turn to sleet/snow soon.

Slashermcguirk · 07-01-2011 05:03PM

When the band moves off eastwards it should push the mild air away with it.

John.Icy · 07-01-2011 05:04PM

Well, unfortunately GFS was spot on for myself, along with much of the East, and south east. It said rain, and I got rain. By this evening, as the band starts to slide into Wales, the colder uppers will spread into the east and there should be a period of heavy snow, whether it sticks or not, is another thing.

:D

The Little Fella · 07-01-2011 05:06PM

Snowing and beginning to stick here.

your optimism has no limts

darkman2 · 07-01-2011 05:08PM

A hint of sleetyness in my part of Malahide which is a good sign. Need the conservatory roof to verify

Yeah, I'm 7 miles west of the town on a bit of a hill. Still pelting down with heavy snow here.

TFK · 07-01-2011 05:11PM

It started raining here earlier, it looks kinda sleety now (I haven't been out in it, just going by the lamp post outside) I could be totally wrong though but it's too cold to go outside

Samash · 07-01-2011 05:11PM

snowing away here the last 45 mins. its sticking too- a nice covering on cars and the grass

darkman2 · 07-01-2011 05:12PM

In other news Met Eireann are forcasting a square moon for tonight...

danni2 · 07-01-2011 05:13PM

Moderate sleet with a few wet flakes falling now, just need the temps to drop a little further and then I should have snow:D

Anything to take the emphasis away from Jean Byrnes dress the other night...

county man · 07-01-2011 05:14PM

Still rain falling here but its turning colder so still a chance it might turn to sleet or snow.

your even getting my hopes:), aren't you usually on the slightly more conservative side with snow predictions?

ffarrell7 · 07-01-2011 05:15PM

Temperature has dropped 1 degree in Dublin 15 (to 2.6 degrees) but it is still raining..no sleet yet although it will snow I would imagine in the next couple of hours.

anoble66 · 07-01-2011 05:16PM

very light dusting of snow in clare
