Snow Risk for North and East - 04 March

8pm reports- Claremorris and Knock airport both 0 degrees, even near the coast at Belmullet is just 3 degrees, very cold air now in the west/NW

Snowing gently here like what you see in Christmas movies. Dewpoint -2.0c

Snowing quite heavily now and is readily sticking.

Its snowing here in Donegal nice big fluffy flakes. First decent flakes I have seen in a few years. Not the wet snow flakes that I have seen so often! Dont think it will lie but nice to see.

We never really get any proper snow...thank God.

Fair enough, some just don't like snow.

I assume you were not here for the winters of 2009 and 2010?

Where that shower was at 15 mins ago. Looks to be weakening as it heads SE.

Yeah, it really died a sudden death.

Heavier here now again. So hard to judge off the radar.

And gone again

That shower seems to have slowed down around the Claregalway area for some reason. You might get another swipe of it yet.

Looking at the satellite, there seems to be more showers forming off the west/midwest coast?




Could bring more wintry showers to the likes of Clare/Kerry and Connemara than what seems to be forecast? Hard to tell tbh.

Beautiful evening here again Had a nice snow shower at about 17.30 and more recently and this is how we are right now, -1.1C dp.-2.5

I thought his might be another 2010 pic, but then you're fairly high up.

There is still a bit of snow on the bin and grass here. Look what i've been reduced to. It's a far cry from 2010.

2251 update from met eireann

Scattered wintry showers mainly over the western half of the country tonight. A slight to sharp ground frost will develop under clear skies, and there will be some icy patches. Later in the night, outbreaks of rain, sleet and snow will spread south through Ulster and Leinster. Fresh and gusty, westerly winds will decrease light to moderate overnight, later veering northwest to north. Lowest temperatures plus 2 to minus 2 degrees.

Down to 0c here in Naas now. Clear Skies

1.3c here in West Clare. All the percip is either just north or south of me.

This ALWAYS happens, there must be some sort of snow shield here?

No snow here yet. But my balls are getting frozen.

Over.

Jaysus NI looks to get a fair coating!
