So the snow started to stick after all. Thought you all might appreciate these. At St Angela's campus in Sligo, no idea how far above sea level we are.

Kermit.de.frog · 12-12-2014 12:14pm

haha fell asleep early last night. Just as well. Good to see some getting snow. Hopefully more to come in the next couple of weeks.

DOCARCH · 12-12-2014 12:26pm

Looks like a trough line approaching the north coast atm. http://www.sat24.com/en/gb

Could be a decent fall of snow for some?

jamo2oo9 · 12-12-2014 12:38pm

In UL here. Very little frost this morning at 8:30am. Was a bit overcast at that time but now it's clear skies all around. Pretty cold as well at 1C

Gonzo · 12-12-2014 1:29pm

nice to see a few areas in the far west getting some flakes, total non event here in the east even in high-ground locations. Hopefully we will much better luck after Christmas into January with something proper from the East!

I've just been over the Wicklow Gap, and walked up the road to Turlough Hill to take a look.

A bit of a dusting on Djouce to be seen from the road. Closer to Glendalough, there's a bit on the top of Camaderry and Turlough Hill and heading across towards Lough Firrib. Couldn't actually see Tonelagee or Lug for cloud, but at the top of Turlough Hill there was about 1cm max of hard crunchy stuff lying on the road surface. A few small drifts under the peat hags too. I'll upload some pictures in a minute ...

Yup
Pathetic effort even for the west

Wake me up when there's northern blocking

pauldry · 12-12-2014 3:08pm

there may not be a lot more snow for the rest of December but that sort of talk is banned here

Reasonable windows of opportunity though

tonight 50%
Dec 18th 30%
Dec 21st 20%
Dec 26th 20%

As usual when a big shower gets to galway its not cold enough for snow..and when it is cold enough there is no showers ..so annoying

Kermit.de.frog · 12-12-2014 5:35pm

Incoming potentially from the north for Dublin, Meath, Louth and Wicklow - but will it get here and will the temperatures drop just that little bit?

Storm 10 · 12-12-2014 5:42pm

Something heading to Galway on the current ME radar

Potential for more rain; Malin station, 8C. There's no cold in that radar echo...

Rougies · 12-12-2014 5:50pm

16:00 update from met.ie

Scattered outbreaks of rain, sleet and snow will move down over the country this evening with some snow at lower levels, but becoming much lighter and more patchy as it edges further Southeast.

Not cold enough anywhere yet though.

q85dw7osi4lebg · 12-12-2014 6:09pm

Heavy shower, Meath Coast.

That pisses me off

, not even a small flurry here in west clare. But the hills in east clare looked to have a nice cover.
The best we got was sleet at around 2:30 am.

Hopefully this evening.

BLIZZARD7 · 12-12-2014 6:20pm

Very Light rain here in South Dublin...

3c

Larbre34 · 12-12-2014 6:29pm

Sleet reported at Dublin AP at 1800.

It's trying to sleet here...icy rain with a flakey element to it!

3.1c DP 1.9c atm.

HighLine · 12-12-2014 7:44pm

A photo of Lugnaquilla today on the following link. Doesn't seem to be a great deal up there - hopefully it will be topped up tonight.

Found a faint dusting of it at the Viewpoint, South Dublin earlier.

Rikand · 12-12-2014 8:06pm

There was nice coating of snow on the motorway from Galway to Limerick this morning. Regretably, it caught 3 motorists by surprise as all 3 had left the road within a half mile stretch of each other. A very heavy garda/ambulance/fire brigade presence was on the road there this morning. Couldnt drive any faster than 50kph along it

Billcarson · 12-12-2014 8:10pm

All i got from that shower this evening was rain,same oul s#ite. I just want the skies to clear now and the temps to start dropping,they were until that useless shower turned up. 3c atm was down to 2c before the shower.

pad199207 · 12-12-2014 8:14pm

Sleet earlier in Naas.

The_Shotz · 13-12-2014 9:28am

Bitterly cold night in Waterford City last night. Not a hint of snow, clear skies, very heavy frost this morning, great to see everything white.

redsteveireland · 13-12-2014 10:26am

Weak showers coming in off the west coast, they are dying out over land, -3 here this morning with a nice hard frost.

mloc123 · 13-12-2014 3:59pm

Any snow on the wicklow mountains yet? Heading up the wicklow gap for a run tomorrow.

There's a level 2 inches or so at the top of lugnaquilla and all along its eastern side I hear
It is very very icy up there though, below freezing all day

ComaWhite · 13-12-2014 10:41pm

View from the Donegal/Derry border today, pic is a bit terrible (was in the car) but you get the idea!

Had a drive up military road to Sally gap and then down by lough Tay to round wood. Very little snow. Up to Sally gap crossroads was mix between very icy and about 1cm of snow but nearer the crossroads the sun was hitting the road so alouth it was -1 the road bar a couple patches of ice was clear. No snow off the road and could only really see some at top of highest peaks and the cliffs near lough bray were patchy white.

Jimjay · 14-12-2014 12:21am

Military road heading to sally gap. Cleared completely by time i got to sally gao xroads

JCX BXC · 14-12-2014 12:45pm

Is it me or is the weather forecast for the coming week the exact same as last week.

Monday is cool with around normal tempertures, Tuesday is mild (10-11c) with rain.
Wednesday/Thursday a bit cooler with showers/rain.
Friday cool with a chance of wintry showers.

Potential for Snow Showers this Week, 8-12th Dec
