Sunday/Monday (26/27-2) - Snow along west coast

JCX BXC · 27-02-2017 2:19am

Had just got to sleep and have now been awoken by what sounds like golf balls hitting the house.

Jesus these showers are severe!

Hooter23 · 27-02-2017 2:45am

Huge hail shower Galway 15 minutes ago everywhere is white

Kermit.de.frog · 27-02-2017 5:22am

Snow reported at Cork Airport.

filo87 · 27-02-2017 5:33am

Snowing in Cork, near Blarney. Dry flakes but ground is too wet for it to stick. Getting heavier though!

Graces7 · 27-02-2017 5:34am

Hail, rain and maybe snow at frequent intervals all the night long.. Clear, starry skies one minute then thudding hail, much as others report.

Will see what like the mountains are when it gets light.. Garden is clear I think... Bitter cold, and lack of sleep!

West Connemara; 400 ft asl

highdef · 27-02-2017 6:52am

Looks like a certain someone in Arklow may well be reporting a decent snowfall this morning, going by the radar returns over Wicklow this morning

Sammy2012 · 27-02-2017 8:03am

A dusting of snow here on the Wexford/wicklow border. Surprised as wasn't expecting any. No doubt will be gone very shortly but nice to look at all the same. 120asl

Graces7 · 27-02-2017 8:07am

Snow in Connemara...

An odd distribution.. the garden is as thinly covered as the mountains, with deeper gatherings n the clefts and gullies

A lovely sight.

Just a scattering, not a thick even layer. Was surprised it is on the garden

Bitter cold and dark, heavy clouds rolling purposefully in; anything now will almost certainly be snow or hail ...and hald hearted sleety snow falling now.

Snow shower in Waterford last night, can see the flakes stuck to favoured surfaces. I'm at sea level so Comeraghs should be white. Will see soon on way to work.

Yes about 1cm from a shower overnight. First lying snow since March 2013. Has mostly melted away now

Yep if precip can hold some intensity and after a very cold icy night and a northwest wind, some snow is very possible. Especially if it comes in around 4-8am

JCX BXC · 27-02-2017 12:35pm

Light wet blobs of snow falling in West Clare, first time since 2014.

Stopped now, didn't last long.

Cold rain here. I cant even travel to see the snow..

RobertKK · 27-02-2017 4:42pm

Some very light wet snow falling here on high ground in Kilkenny.

Rougies · 27-02-2017 4:56pm

15::40 Update from Met Eireann:

Cold this afternoon with sunny spells and scattered heavy wintry showers of rain, hail and sleet, and above 1000 feet, snow. Isolated thunderstorms also.
Maximum temperatures of 4 to 8 degrees in light westerly breezes.

I've never seen them specify an altitude before, but nice to see. You'd think they'd use metric though :rolleyes:

1000ft = 304.8m for anyone outside of Liberia, Myanmar or the USA

DOCARCH · 27-02-2017 5:10pm

Light/soft hail shower here now in Dublin 16. 5.9c atm.

Oscar Bravo · 27-02-2017 5:17pm

Nice precise forecast from met eireann "above 1000ft, Snow"

Snow at 500ft here in your face Met Eireann

Meteorite58 · 27-02-2017 6:58pm

15mm here so far today from the countless showers of mainly rain/sleet with hail and graupel thrown in for good measure . Mountains and hills have snow on them, getting cold now and plenty of dark clouds about.

2.9C now with a DP of 1.0C, to freeze away from the coasts early tonight but temperatures set to rise early in the morning.

PukkaStukka · 27-02-2017 7:08pm

Not much to report in Dublin city centre today but currently, the skyline to the north is showing some serious convection

highdef · 27-02-2017 7:51pm

The precip band due later in the night is getting close to northern scotland now. Looks quite substantial on satellite.

I'm guessing there's a warm sector in it?

If it arrives before sunrise, anyone think there's a chance of freezing rain in some places if it does not snow?

You think there will be snow? Do you think it will be widespread? Sticking? Nearly all the models don't think there will be snow away from higher ground

Not widespread not sticking . But there will be a few showers breaking maybe producing sleet/wet snow

Gaoth Laidir · 27-02-2017 8:37pm

Tomorrow's rain will come from a cut-off warm sector from Sunday which has reached as far north as the Faroe Islands today and will loop back down over Ireland in the form of a frontal trough.

Sampling the airmass in Torshavn's 12Z sounding today shows it's already only showing snow for mountain tops, especially as it has another 800 km or so to travel over 9-10-degree waters until it gets here.

It's doing that on my phone on the desktop and mobile sites, tried a few different browsers.
Use the Netweather radar.

Getting the same on my iPhone.

Just drove across barnacullia/glencullen during a shower, nothing but sleet.

Thanks Lolie & Jimbis, I will try the Netweather one, cheers.

My gauge says -2.5 here in Donegal, pretty cold!

mountainy man · 28-02-2017 12:28am

Recent snow shower, all white again.

RustyGate · 28-02-2017 1:07am

Snow on the ground on the Curragh, Brownstown side of Curragh Camp. Quite a bit on cars here, grass around has a white tinge, roofs white, and front garden has a dusting melting off. Don't know when the snow fell as I wasn't here this evening. Seems to have rained a bit since judging by the pock marked texture of the dusting in the garden. Might need to change the title of the thread !

Graces7 · 28-02-2017 6:55am

There were a few snow showers last evening but now lashing rain and a gale smashing it against the cottage.

West Connemara; 400 ft asl.

Sunday/Monday (26/27-2) - Snow along west coast
