    That's not the reason though.

    Due to the weather fronts, theres a warm front over the southern half of the country and a cold front over then northern half. I appear to be in the middle in clare, temp over the past few hours has gone between 3.8c and 11.2c.

    It could partly explain it. I 'm no weather expert in the slightest, but you will often see different weather at the Airport compared to Charlestown in terms of weather like snow or fog/mist coverage.

    :D

    In terms of Fog, yes Knock is a fog prone airport due to it being up a hill, similarly to Cork

    Some chance that rain will turn to snow behind the cold front as the low pulls out to the east. If you have a cold rain, northeast winds and temps 3-4 C now, watch out for snow in an hour or two before the precip ends.

    Wave is currently approaching Dublin, from radar I estimate the location to be just west of Casement. The rain to snow transition is most likely in Westmeath, Offaly and parts of Meath. I don't think it will reach Dublin although it might show up later on higher ground to south.

    Just seen the Glenshane Pass in Derry is closed!

    No more snow in Sligo Town since this morning, but still very cold. Surrounding mountains looking great with their snow caps though.
