    Don't worry - nothing in Stepaside. Snow on Three Rock from about 800ft upwards.

    If that apartment block was 300ft high you might have got some snow on yer balcony. :cool:

    The cars coming down from Glencullen are covered - so someone got lucky!

    The solar panels on the roof were hopping the past 2 weeks. Lots of free hot water, plenty of jobs getting done in the garden in t-shirts and shorts.

    Complete opposite now with the fire going full belt and everybody back in warm clothes. I stuck my nose out yesterday evening to get some more wood in and the effect of the wind on the cold was something else.

    Very glad that I resisted the temptation to plant out some veg.

    And to think that herself suggested having a bbq last week !!!!

    A few showers about to hit the north Dublin coast now. Should be wintry (hail/sleet/graupel) in nature given the low DPs

    Looks like winter's finally arrived if the 0Z ECMWF is anything to go by, mostly cold and windy weather for the next 10 days with an easterly setting in

    Another freezing cold and miserable day here, wintry showers every now and again but lying snow confined above 500m

    I took photos of a snowy Sally Gap and I took 'em out today to have a look. They are dated April 4th 1992.

    Just a light skiff of snow this morning in Naas.

    So are we heading back to normal temperatures for next week?

    I want to plan my wardrobe for next week. I put my gloves away for the winter and I had to find them again.:D

    So will I need my coat or shorts next week.:D

    By Independent.ie reporters

    Wednesday April 04 2012

    GARDAI needed the assistance of mountain rescue teams to rescue two men in Wicklow’s Sally Gap this morning.
    Rescuers said the young men had attempted to negotiate the notorious route in a small hatchback car. The rescue took place at 4am.

    OK.

    Which of you clowns drove to Sally Gap at 4am?

    I know it was one of you boards snow-bunnies - nobody else in their right mind would do that :D

    Intermittent falls of 'precip' here in D15, somewhere between hail and graupel. Seems to be a shower track setting up on the NE'ly from IOM towards Nth Dublin. Just been out with the bins and its horribly cold

    Today was fine indeed.

    Warm in the sun. But we did need some rainfall. We got ample here in dublin. Should bring the water-table back up some what.

    :confused:

    I've recorded a total of 5.8mm so far in April! (Soaking wet by this year's standards)

    No snow (@ 120m asl) and lowest air temp of +0.8C (on Sunday, before the "cold" snap!)

    Regardless, I still don't feel any need for rain :D

    We still need a lot of rain, especially on the East Coast:
    -February: 20mm @ Dublin, 19mm @ Casement
    -March 25 mm @ Dublin, 27mm @ Casement
    -April so far about 5mm in the Dublin area
    Hopefully we can close the month at +60mm (even more would be needed)

    Darkman (or any other person who studies the charts), is there any more snow situations on the way, for the foreseeable future?

    This particular event was a non-event for me. I waited all Winter long for snow, but there was nothing at all. It makes me really sad that we are heading into Summer soon enough and I haven't seen one flake :(

    Please tell me if you see anything on the horizon?

    I'm hoping for low pressure water at night, hosepipe bans and a long hot summer. The rest of it can fack off.

    Snow cannot be ruled out next week but because of the time of year it will again be confined to high ground. What a shame we didn't get this set up in mid winter :mad: that's always the way isn't it.

    This is ideal weather - what we need is to pipe all that excess water from the rain-drenched West.
