    Contrary to reports on FB that it was snowing in Bray - Its wasnt really. The little Sh%^3 bags broke into the snow warehouse & creatively snowed someones garden !!!!! ( Dont laugh!)
    Lets just say the Gardai are on the case & was not the phone call we wanted on a Sunday evening ....

    Just had a heavy shower of sleet and hail in Letterkenny, just under 100m asl so should be falling as snow down to ~500m I'd guess

    Had a look at Errigal earlier but it was covered in low cloud so couldn't see a thing

    A couple of people I know up in Donegal said it snowed.

    The sane ones said it was sleety rain so this is what must have been in Finner.

    Sure even down in Leitrim when the showers got heavy enough there was bits of sleet in it but sNOw?? (well if there was 2000 versions of snow and 1 was class snow and 2000 was well one flake mixed with rain - then it was 2000 so its too vague to be snow .i.e it definitely doesnt qualify for snow in my book)

    Hell i doubt there was even one flake it was all sleety rain. Interesting to note that immediately after the squall the temperature went down to 5.2c in Sligo but after a couple of hours it had climbed up to 8.4c

    Anyways would people tell me if the white stuff in Derry on the News is snow or sleety snowy rainy what.

    How can there be so many forms of precipitation. Im going mad Ted.

    Proper snow sticking in Derry at around 300m

    As you can see in the pic Ian posted there was snow on Errigal but doubt there was anything at lower levels. We had a few showers earlier with a mix of rain, sleet and hail, noticeable snow flakes but no way would I class it as 'snow'

    The jet stream needs to drop south then this gives a chance for a greenland block to ridge, then it would be game on but no sign of that what so ever yet

    I had a thread on snow for the 29th of October earlier, it was obviously deleted before you guys saw it.

    Ah there will be snow before the end of the year Id say fairly certainly its just that it wont be the nice kind. slushy muck probably.

    Based on how freezing it is this year. Plus northwesterly stream of events.

    Medium and short term to End of October will be mild and unsettled with shorter cool spells in between.A lot of wind and rain if you like that sort of thing.
