Nothing here for two hours now, no showers due any time soon looking at raintoday either. The temperature's risen and the snow from earlier is melting.

Think we've had our (brief) fun here already for tonight

Had a very wet sleety shower a while ago, but mostly rain. Stopped now, but looking at radar, looks like Dingle peninsula especially Brandon Mt are getting plastered.

Was on the motorway between Galway and Athenry just there. Very heavy snow. Hard to see, flakes were huge.

Traffic at a crawl at 30 mph. Right hand lane completely white and still lunatics bombing past.

Anyone else catch some sheet lightning out in the Irish Sea in the last 30 mins?? Was just out for a short run here in Swords and saw two flashes - first one caught me blinking and scared the bejeezus out of me (didn't know wtf), but the second I was running right toward. Lit up about big chunk of the sky a kind of mustard yellow to the northeast for maybe half a second.

The bizarre thing is there's no cloud over there - stars were clearly visible (just under Auriga if you're curious ). It was low down though so probably a good bit out. Anyone else see this or was the cold playing tricks with my noggin? Looks from the rainfall chart just posted that there's something out there alright.

You have to pay for that one

Hail shower here just now that only lasted about a minute. Really wish it'd make up its mind already, I'm sick of these 5 minute showers then an hour of nothing.

I'm happy to report about 15 cm of snow ....

...stacked on the windscreen of my car from the wipers upwards

Elsewhere it doesn't even amount to a dusting yet.
