Pretzill · 24-02-2016 12:59am

I have -5! Though my thermometer is in a sheltered spot - white frost out - beautiful night (Sligo 70M asl)

Oscar Bravo · 24-02-2016 1:26am

-1 in Belmullet on the midnight reports , i can now confirm it is indeed a cold night!

Rock Lesnar · 24-02-2016 1:45am

Just been out there, its cold clear and frosty in the NE, with the whole place lit up by the moon, and lads, nights like this doesn't get any better.

pad199207 · 24-02-2016 7:48am

-6c in Kildare this morning. Coldest all season!

Snowy Marches I remember before 2013 are:

- 2001
- 2006
- 2008
- 2009 (8th it snowed here)
- 2010

^ I think 2006 is the one you're referring to though. It snowed in some parts of Ireland from the 1st - 5th then it became unsettled with plenty of rainfall throughout the month. Overall, it was awfully dull, wet and cool.

Yep, 2006. I was getting getting a house in Glen ready for family and that was the date, March 1st, the tenancy started, Arrived in Glen just in time for Mass and they were very surprised to see me.....another winter there we had snow; must have been I think 2008 although I thought it was the following year, and the back road was blocked and the cliff road was so icy a car had crashed.

Graces7 · 24-02-2016 8:32am

A nursery rhyme morning.. " On a cold and frosty morning.." and "The moon doth shine as bright a day.." Thought the sun was up earlier..,. Well, if it snows Friday and I cannot get down, will get a message to either of our TWO Healy Rae candidates and get a lift.. the vote is secret after !!

But it is so cold.. will be lovely later when the sun is on the windows. So much needed; am bleaching mould off the walls. Has been wet and cold all winter long.

I don't know where people are now getting talk of Snow by Friday. A wintery shower may crop up here and there but we're not going to be snowed in.

Very much spring in the air this morning. Crisp frost and bright light. The sky is a baby blue and the birds are signing. I feel a long walk coming on.

Trogdor · 24-02-2016 11:11am

Finally had our first air frost of the winter here overnight with the temp just briefly dipping to 0.0C.

We've had 3 nights this week in the north east sub zero.

JCX BXC · 24-02-2016 12:54pm

Overnight min was -5.3c (Amazingly! Kerry Airport recorded a similar temperture)
Current temp 3.1c.

Most severe frost this winter! (And there's a week left?) At 8am everywhere was wonderfully white with a light field fog. Even now by 11:51 there's still some frost in sheltered areas of the garden, not often it stays this late.

Looks glorious out, the sun is blindingly bright. I want to go out and relax in the "heat" but then I check the temperature and realise it's just above 3c. I watched EI135 flying from Shannon to Boston this morning fly over the house, and was jealous of the views those passengers would be getting from their windows.

Location: West Clare

I Know a website in Nass is using a Davis VantagePro 2 ( Would be a High End System ) and he recorded -3.8 this morning .

Different areas will have different temps , for a example a member here in Tullow lives in a "frost hollow " I think it was called and always records much lower temps than folks nearby

My brakes on the car froze solid this morning in Sallins anyway !

Graces7 · 24-02-2016 1:49pm

Reporting much the same from South Kerry 400 asl. Looked forward to sitting out in the sun with a cup of coffee but it was so cold out there. Ice still on the water buckets at noon. Still the dog wanted to play ball so that warmed me up.. Just baltic in glorious sun.

My Station near Tullow recorded -5.6c this morning

I have a Davis Vantage Pro2 Plus with FARS, and yes it is located in a small frost hollow outside Tullow, you can see the station on the webcam on the site http://www.carlowweather.com

It was yourself I was thinking off , always great readings coming from your location ,

You own little piece of frosty heaven

ytpe2r5bxkn0c1 · 24-02-2016 2:42pm

7.1c here in the North East right now. Was at 8.4 earlier and overnight down to -3.5.

Bar now 1018.6

Nice heat in the sun and nice enough to sit in the garden for morning coffee at noon.

Looks like it will be dry, with frost at night, until midday Monday at least.

Hopefully the ground might start to dry.

JCX BXC · 24-02-2016 3:08pm

Current temp of 8.7c but It's really starting to cloud up here!

Its February not June ffs!
The next few days until at least Monday look good, the most you'll see is a light shower like your encountering now.

Don't know about the West, but in Dublin, February is the driest month of the year. The seas are at their coldest so there's isn't as much evaporation.

Our monsoon season also ends in February/March and kicks off again in June.

patneve2 · 24-02-2016 5:27pm

Reckon temp fell to about 0 degrees last night here on the Dublin coast. Lovely morning, however a brief rain/hail shower has just past through now.

Correct (Wouldn't have thought it though), but very marginally. In Ireland we really get rain at any time of the year. There's no monsoon season as you suggest.

The driest month, comparably in Shannon, Ireland is April

There is a monsoon of sorts. We don't get many storms between March and May, Spring tends to be our calmest time of the year. It's not your traditional monsoon as this article says:https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Monsoon#Europe
