    Say it's life and death and you'll have to let some of the children go ;)

    Nothing outside the dwelling - then I went to the gate and the whole horizon is ringed with white mountains. Very atmospheric.. alas my camera has lost battery power and cannot get it to recharge..... Ah well...there are times when having no money....

    I think it's clear that the coloured radar that Kermit showed is not that useful in pinpointing snow. It's very elevation-dependent, with reports from low levels all saying rain when the radar said snow.

    Kerry Airport is reporting light rain from that blob on the radar, temp/dp 2/1.

    Important to remember unfortunately with the rise iof automatic weather stations, and the marginal type snow we get in this country- rain will often be observe when is infact a wintry mix.

    Scanning through roadside webcams, a scattered dusting on the grass is apparent in the west and north of country .
    Snow looks thickest around Knock.

    The northern portion of this precip moving north could turn to snow later today.

    No, what would you want to get out of a warm bed for, it's chilly?

    East Clare, after the coffee sorted. One of the most desperate snow photos I have ever lowered myself to take, but 4 pages of photoless pages calls for desperate measures.

    Happy, now I'm finally up?
