Because there's no accounting for lack of taste?

I don't like rap music. Its too blow your brain out and crap. But just the east side vs west side is in my head.

I prefer boyzone.....

Anyway back to topic, weather doesn't look to good in the near future.
Hopefully something changes in the charts to get us by.

3am obs show only Finner and Knock below freezing at - 1, it isnt even going to be a spectacularly icy morning.

What a crock.

No idea what the state of the snow is out here y'day was a windy wet out ....blissfully quiet here now and no white stuff at the door..

Caught the end of a streamer near Tullow to give a little light dusting.

I wonder if everyone in Dublin is taking another “snow” day today.
Yesterday mornings traffic was grand ðŸ˜€.

Croohur · 01-02-2019 8:21am

A few cms of snow here above Aughrim in Wicklow. Think I will call a snow day and head up the fields with the kids. Looks like some snow streamers headed this way too and see is there is enough in the top fields for some sledding

Some showers have started moving into the north Dublin coast around Balbriggan. Half decent one moving onshore now with another building behind it.

Watch out Gonzo!!!

Snow day here on the wexford/Wicklow border. School closed so off out to build a snowman with the kids after breakfast. Fully expect it all to have disappeared later as it's very wet snow but that suits me fine. Day off work, some fun in the snow and then all back to normal tomorrow!

A good bit of snow on the Dublin Mountains this morning. Can’t get a good shot (damn it school).

mirrorwall14 · 01-02-2019 9:18am

Still some snow in the grass here outside Ballina in Mayo and the place is frozen solid now! Exactly the type of event I expect for Ireland in winter, no disappointment here

Roads absolutely lethal this morning around Carlow side of Laois, they don't appear to have been gritted. Getting up a steep hill in the car was interesting to say the least.

Don't worry I'm just on my way to sort that

Sunny/snowy morning here in S Sligo. 3.5*c so don’t expect it to last long.

MidMan25 · 01-02-2019 9:43am

Complete let down in Cork, didn't expect much but we didn't even get a frost!

ameee · 01-02-2019 9:46am

Starting to snow in Dublin 15, quite gently at the moment but it's starting to stick in places much to my surprise. Sky is going that lovely dark snowy colour.......dare I hope for the first time that we might get a wee bit of snow? I'd take any amount at this stage

highdef · 01-02-2019 9:48am

Snowing in North Kildare, near Enfield. Sticking well as the temp is -1c. Roads and pavements already have a full covering. Looking at the radar, it could be comin down for a while and could get heavier.

SEPT 23 1989 · 01-02-2019 9:49am

Snowing in Lucan

Reckless Abandonment · 01-02-2019 9:49am

Very light snow here in leixlip..and sticking easily.

Billcarson · 01-02-2019 9:53am

Place is white here in ashbourne. little streamer off the Irish sea. Soft hail/ grapel.
