I always use the full site on the mobile so I forget that you don't see locations on the touch site.

Yes quite a squally shower afew mintues ago in Galway...looking at the satellite images they are only getting going with much bigger showers on the way...they will be quite lively if the first showers are anything to go by...

yorlum11 · 15-01-2018 9:13pm

Serious hail in Westport. The showers are heavy and very squally.

Meteorite58 · 15-01-2018 9:14pm

Usually not a bad guide.

I don't think it will snow tonight in Dublin.

Kermit.de.frog · 15-01-2018 9:18pm

Turned over high ground in the north west. Snow level continues to fall here.

I'm practically in the midlands sure.
Seriously though, it's a wide county where the weather varies alot due in no small part to the lovely Atlantic.

Chance increases through the early hours. After 3 am showers will be wintry at that stage and i'd expect snow showers by the commute.:pac:

Gerry on Met said snow on high ground only outside of Ulster.

Knock Airport, recent snow, and so it begins

It was sleet that fell, not snow. Synop code 26 was reported ("Recent rain and snow showers"). The met.ie site always reports this as Recent Snow.

That's disappointing given its height. Is it the case that these forecast tend to be conservative, if not that's bad news for lower ground.

George Sunsnow · 15-01-2018 10:20pm

5.1c
Dew point 2c in Arklow
Wind has died down considerably
I was working outside up until 20 mins ago and it did not feel cold at all

yorlum11 · 15-01-2018 10:53pm

Lightening is just off the north Mayo coast. Seems to be moving towards Sligo by reports.

Soccarboy11 · 15-01-2018 11:10pm

7°c in cork City with some heavy rain showers.

highdef · 15-01-2018 11:16pm

Moderate sleet with wet snow mixed in.....north Kildare, near Enfield

emo72 · 15-01-2018 11:24pm

lashing in lucan.

JCX BXC · 15-01-2018 11:27pm

I think this quite optimistic chart deserves a mention :P

It's less than 24 hours out, but I'd still take this with a big pinch of snow salt.

Gonzo · 15-01-2018 11:27pm

horrible night here, plenty of cold rain. Current temp 4C.

Gaia Mother Earth · 15-01-2018 11:28pm

Not so much as a flake here in South Donegal. Have my tongue ready for the snowflakes. I think I'll be waiting a while

Oneiric 3 · 15-01-2018 11:29pm

Light rain / hail showers. 3.4c Dp 2c. Wind W 14 knots.

Looks impressive,Init,but I'm highly dubious , especially at the immediate coast,cant foresee accumulations at the immediate coast,in what I call 'slosh' a fluctuating combination of hail,sleet and wet snow that won't accumulate.

Gosh,I feel like gaoth Laidir pissing all over the GFS snow charts.

BLIZZARD7 · 15-01-2018 11:36pm

Pretty heavy rain shower in South Dublin at the moment, 4.1c.

Kermit.de.frog · 15-01-2018 11:52pm

4.0c here in North Dublin. DP has fallen from 3.3 to 2.4c in the past hour.

pad199207 · 15-01-2018 11:56pm

4.4c in N kildare

Kermit.de.frog · 16-01-2018 12:03am

DP down to 2.0c...

The snow level will be dropping.

Over Ulster showers increasingly of sleet are turning more to mix of wet snow. Already snowfall over high ground.

Same in Connaught.

We have a few hours to go yet...but getting there

boxer.fan · 16-01-2018 12:03am

Snowing lightly NW Donegal. 2deg C

DOCARCH · 16-01-2018 12:04am

Plenty of showers making it to Dublin 16 this evening. Last one had some sleet in it. 3.1c atm.

tikkamark · 16-01-2018 12:06am

3•c in Kinnegad and the odd heavy sleet shower,bitter wind chill out even just filling the van with diesel for a few minutes would cut ya in two!

Soccarboy11 · 16-01-2018 12:13am

Very windy all.of a sudden here in cork, 6 degrees and falling slowly it seems.

highdef · 16-01-2018 12:15am
