Noticeable ice in among the raindrops in north Carlow. Temps have dropped from 6 to 3° in the last hour.

Changed to a mix of fine and big snow flakes but not falling heavily. Temp now down to 1.5°

Drizzling here in Meath (Tara/Kilmessan area - 500 feet). Wondering if we have any hope of snow later?

That rain inching closer to my area of county meath, Stay back you hear me, Stay back!!!!! Ha

ninebeanrows · 20-01-2021 1:17pm

Good conditions out there for evap cooling, light winds or calm with decent intensity precip, be nice to get another kick off the front to enhance the precip intensity a little more before it clears away.

A difference of opinions is allowed , actually it’s encouraged as it engages healthy debate , getting upset about them differences of opinion and getting into , ( for want of better word ) A flake measuring contest is not , it drags the thread off topic , off topic posts removed

Dublin 18 here Doc (stepaside) and very faint sleet, not too much and need velux window to make it out, but perhaps turning to sleet for you shortly

Beyond that who knows........

CirrusBusiness · 20-01-2021 1:50pm

Sleet, Carlow town.

Grogu1983 · 20-01-2021 1:50pm

Hopefully I get some in my direction I'm in Tinahely.

Davaeo09 · 20-01-2021 1:51pm

Sleet eased off here tullaroan kilkenny
There is a serious bite in the air now that it's cleared a bit.
Outside with the dogs and it's absolutely baltic compared to the balmy night we had

Kermit.de.frog · 20-01-2021 1:52pm

Flakes in north Dublin

Super-Rush · 20-01-2021 1:54pm

The size of the flakes falling here in Carlow are pretty remarkable.

The temperature @ N81 Tallaght has dipped nicely in the last hour, air temperature sitting at 1.5 degrees now, that rain may turn to snow soon enough in that area.

Captain Snow · 20-01-2021 2:05pm

Fantastic too see folks getting snow and the 528 dam isn't over us yet.

ninebeanrows · 20-01-2021 2:06pm

Wet snow falling now at N81 Baltinglass, temperature dipped to 1.3 degrees, was 2.0 degrees 20 minutes ago.

cml387 · 20-01-2021 2:07pm

Interesting temperature profile in Clonmel this morning, all night around 10 to 11 degrees and suddenly at 5am it fell rapidly within an hour to 6 degrees and continuing to fall. Now it's 4 degrees and dewpoint 1.7. After a morning of heavy rain its cleared off.

Yep appears to be colder than predicted. Some inland parts here are only 1c

SnizzleSky · 20-01-2021 2:09pm

Currently 4.1C (DP: 1.9C) in Aughrim, Wicklow. 160asl. Rain. not a flake to be seen. I would say there is a plaster of it on the nearby mighty Lug. Snow from two weeks ago was still visible in shaded locations yesterday!!!

Wind is now nnw here so directly off the hills
Precipitation is very light though

Gaoth Laidir · 20-01-2021 2:27pm

Latest Wet-bulbs.

An Ri rua · 20-01-2021 2:34pm

A real wet chill in Tullamore since 12. Pure snow weather. Will be very surprised if we don't get some by evening. High ground outside Tullamore.

GL, are the actual conditions / metrics we are seeing giving you any pause to think that for some this might not just be a high ground event (I should say up to now I agreed with your view that this would be a non event). Things seem to me to be a bit more conducive to snow than the models suggested?

TTLF · 20-01-2021 2:48pm

Definitely a mix of sleet/rain here in D14. I can see the sleet/wet flake bits melt as it reaches the skylight below my bedroom view.

Kermit.de.frog · 20-01-2021 2:49pm

Sleet and a few very wet snow flakes here in north Dublin.

its a real odd one because i cant tell if its prodominently raining or more sleet. its getting heavier too so hopefully with Evaporate cooling it switches over to snow. 2C at casement and dropping. Dew point 1C also.

won't be any snow in Meath.

Kermit.de.frog · 20-01-2021 2:56pm

More and more flakes with the sleet here now.

highdef · 20-01-2021 2:58pm

Just plain rain with the tiny hint of iciness visible if you have a windy handy for it to land on otherwise you'd think it was pure rain of you're looking out from inside. This is in ballyfermot/inchicore area

leeash10 · 20-01-2021 3:05pm

Snow now sticking on grass in West Wicklow, 2c.

mumo3 · 20-01-2021 3:05pm

Nothing but rain here in Dublin 8, I'm hoping for a miracle

Danno · 20-01-2021 3:10pm

Rain has stopped here in south Laois. Got down to 3.1c just as it cleared. Winds flicked NE and temps rose to 3.5c. Winds have just returned NW now and temperature is holding at 3.5c.

Looks like any snow will be in the Liffey-Barrow-Slaney areas with higher ground nearby most poised to see any accumulations.

Snow watch until Sunday 24th (N,W,SW most at risk)
