Was reading the various threads in here for the last 20 mins looking for snow in mid Jan. Finally looked at this thread to find out that if I opened my curtains it was right outside! Good start to the day. This isn't even the ppn that JS highlighted as a possibility for snow later today (this was a show from the northwest , i.e. over Clare! Who knows at this stage, especially counties from Kilkenny / Carlow/ Wexford up...

PokeHerKing · 31-12-2020 9:46am

Snowing in D24

lawred2 · 31-12-2020 9:50am

Just had a dusting in North Dublin

Sticking too

If a heavier fall came it would accumulate quickly

gerrybhoy · 31-12-2020 9:50am

Heavy enough shower in Castleknock D15

pad199207 · 31-12-2020 9:53am

Some tiny flakes in Naas now

Slashermcguirk · 31-12-2020 9:54am

Waiting for snow to fall is like waiting for Ireland to score a goal. The suspense is real

KildareP · 31-12-2020 9:54am

Light flakes in North Kildare/Offaly Border area. Has the ground turned white and is not melting (hard frost here last night) but no real depth to it either. The sky has a very snowy look to it and there are several mm forecast for later which I'm hoping will be of the fluffy variety!

Currently -1.2C at the moment.

More chance of a blizzard pal

DOCARCH · 31-12-2020 9:56am

Snowing lightly in Dublin 16 again. Bigger flakes this time. 0.7c atm.

Lucreto · 31-12-2020 10:04am

Tiny snow flakes falling in Naas. Just back from my walk and missed walking in it.

Slashermcguirk · 31-12-2020 10:05am

Haha very true

I see precipitation moving south on the radar. Timing might be against us though.

Slashermcguirk · 31-12-2020 10:12am

Temps defo starting to drop in the likes of the Nordics, Oslo suddenly looking at day time highs around -4. Central Sweden moving towards -10. Bodes well for tapping into better cold with the continent cooling down. Also snow starting to arrive in Germany.

Roughly where in Meath? Meant to be driving back up from the west today and trying to guage the risk.

dexter647 · 31-12-2020 10:13am

Have awoken to a nice covering here in my part of south Laois...a lovely surprise and I think it's going to be a good month for snow weather lovers like myself:)

Lucreto · 31-12-2020 10:14am

Looking on the FI page hopefully it pans out.

With the new lockdown and majority working from home it would be the perfect time for snow.

Far less chaos.

KingJeremy · 31-12-2020 10:15am

Very short lived fall of tiny snow flakes, blink and you’d miss it. Didn’t even leave a dusting on the ground. Nice to see all the same. Hoping for a little more but the sky looks too “thin”
East county Galway/Tipp border

Swords

SleetAndSnow · 31-12-2020 10:18am

Thick ice on the cars this morning in cork city and a clear blue sky. A small bit of snow stuck to the car too but not much! Sign of things to come?

.-2 degrees

Graces7 · 31-12-2020 10:18am

Lovely posts!

A little more of a dusting atop here.

west mayo offshore

Coopaloop · 31-12-2020 10:25am

A feather light dusting of snow here in celbridge. I still got excited, hope we get more!

kod87 · 31-12-2020 10:30am

It has just starting raining/sleeting on top of the frost here in tipp, very strange weather indeed.

highdef · 31-12-2020 10:30am

No snow in North Kildare, not far from Enfield. Decent frost though and a current temperature of -1.9°

leahyl · 31-12-2020 10:31am

Lads, a very heavy frost last night...in Cork City of all places....a sign of better things to come?!

Gaoth Laidir · 31-12-2020 10:32am

I had a feeling this might produce some ninja snow overnight. Only some dandruff over a very hard frost here in Celbridge but still nice to see such a wintry scene.

Grass minima up to 6 am were on the -8/-9 °C range.

Planet X · 31-12-2020 10:33am

Stillorgan white this morning (7:45am), drizzling snow as I was walking to the shops. Roads and paths white, barely covered but nice.

pad199207 · 31-12-2020 10:35am

Is there anything worse when coastal Dublin gets more snow than you

ongarboy · 31-12-2020 10:40am

Woke up to the slightest of dustings in Ongar, west Dublin. I was looking forward to hoarfrost this morning after a thick ice last night but the thin covering of snow is better! Very festive!

redsteveireland · 31-12-2020 10:47am

Area of precipitation moving down over Mayo will just miss me by the looks of it, no word from Tuam? Looks like they got something closer to icey rain

lawred2 · 31-12-2020 10:51am

Went for a little walk around.. must have been an exceptionally hard frost last night.. 1/2 inch ice sheets where standing water had pooled..

Slashermcguirk · 31-12-2020 10:54am

Still 0 degrees approaching 10am. Beautiful to see the white carpet out there

Rock Lesnar · 31-12-2020 10:54am

Stil -1.8c here, rain on the way according to ME to wash the snow away

redsteveireland · 31-12-2020 10:55am

Rain/sleet mix it is, just horrible stuff.

NMB · 31-12-2020 10:56am

Beautiful hard frost and a icing sugar dusting of snow, my little fella went nuts to see his first snow. Mullingar under a gin blue sky.

Yeah.......six in a row

ninebeanrows · 31-12-2020 11:01am

2 ensemble members give the next batch as snow for dublin area,

hope that your lucky numbers are 1 and 2.

mojesius · 31-12-2020 11:03am

Snow/sleet showers have reached south Wicklow, 130m asl. Everything was pretty frozen but dry this morning. Happy even if it's a dusting. Any chances of it persisting today or getting heavier or is this it?

giveitholly · 31-12-2020 11:03am

Snowing in tipp

Snowline Wicklow likely around 200m this afternoon (around 0m now but set to rise later), but do you have high ground nearby? Wouldn't be surprised to see it getting down to 100m if you have altitude surronding you

Homesick Alien · 31-12-2020 11:07am

Is it as light a dusting up the Wicklow mountains as elsewhere? Just wondering if its worth bringing the kids up to see some snow.

redsteveireland · 31-12-2020 11:07am

Well that's that by the looks of it for now

Wine Goddess · 31-12-2020 11:07am

Dusting of snow here in Dublin 24 Firhouse... lovely to see but roll on the proper stuff first week of January hopefully......
