Sleet shower turned to more to rain here near Castlebar. Frequency of showers increased significantly. Top of Nephin has a dusting of something white, when you can see it!

Can't quite see Nephin yet, but all of the other mountains North of Clew Bay just came into view out of the clouds, not a bit of snow on any of them, even got the binoculars out but nothing I'm afraid.

Moderate sleet here.

Should pass soon. Temp has dropped from 7c to 4.5c since 11am.

FAO Mod: Can you change thread title to 'snow reports december 4-6' just to prevent another thread opening at one minute past midnight. Thanks

I'm not happy to report rain in Waterford

Deep Easterly · 04-12-2011 2:03pm

Weak trough is clearing here in Galway with sun coming out so relatively drier air is pushing in. Can see some dark shower clouds up over Mayo though tops don't appear all that high.

Su Campu · 04-12-2011 2:13pm

Light sleet shower at Knock at 1300. Temp/Dewp +3/+3.

Recent rain at Belmullet, +7/+2.

Heavy rain in North Wexford. Getting colder though, wouldn't be surprised to see sleet soon.

Just had a bit of snow near Carrickmacross County Monaghan. Has been raining on and off all morning and it briefly turned to snow for a few minutes before turning back to rain again.
