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

lucalux · 24-01-2021 12:32am

Melting snow on the ground here in South Roscommon, we got 1.5cm in the first fall as the front came in.

The first bit of snow I saw all winter, so I'm happy out even if we don't get more

Grogu1983 · 24-01-2021 12:33am

Pelting down still in Tinahely, massive flakes. I'd post a photo but dont know how haha

Calibos · 24-01-2021 12:34am

Turns out the Heavy Snow in Bray lasted about 3 minutes.

Slowly falling light snow now. Icing sugar dusting on house and car roofs and some foot paths, other paths and road bare.

In Kingswood here, it's eased off but I suspect that's not the last we see of it.

TonyMaloney · 24-01-2021 12:34am

Dublin 18

We've gone from very, very light snow to very light snow in the last five minutes

John.Icy · 24-01-2021 12:34am

Would be exaggerating to call this snizzle.

Don't think these flakes have it in them to even hit the ground. Just floatin'.

Stopped now in my part of Carlow, thankfully.

Thawing very quickly though which is a welcome suprise.

JP100 · 24-01-2021 12:35am

Light snow starting to come down now around Marlay Park. Won't take much for it to stick either.

Kermit.de.frog · 24-01-2021 12:35am

Ok we getting a flake roughly every 2 minutes.

It's a start dammit

Calibos · 24-01-2021 12:35am

Stopped snowing completely in Bray now. I've a feeling that bite out of the band SW of Bray isn't a Radar apparition due to the mountains but an actual gap. Not expecting to get anymore nor wake up to the white stuff here in Bray tbh.

Artane2002 · 24-01-2021 12:35am

finally snowing in Dublin 5, starting to settle too!

ninebeanrows · 24-01-2021 12:36am

just need this precip to stall over dublin areas now for the rest of the night, thanks

Gonzo · 24-01-2021 12:36am

snow stopped here now at Dunshaughlin. A very very light dusting, about 0.3cm, possibly an even lighter dusting than 2 weeks ago.

pad199207 · 24-01-2021 12:36am

Snow has covered the grass and cars here. Already turning a little wetter. I think I’ve already had enough of this Atlantic mush

The snow is quite chunky here near Arklow at the moment
I've a full view of the lamp post but am reluctant to get up from the cosy warm armchair to check if it's settling (yet)

1.4c air temp
Wetbulb -0.1c
Dewpoint -2.1c
Flat calm to 3kmh west

With a name like yours, I hope you've taken a photo of the flakes fluttering down in the lamplight. If not for us, then for yourself.

Still ,its nice to be able to see the lamplight from your armchair

Snowing Dublin 15.......

Told Mrs Nick about this thread, then went out to see no snow. Anyway, a few minutes later she starts screaming in from the kitchen "its snowing ... its SNOWING". So eejit here runs out to see it, only to find Mrs N cackling madly in the corner. But no snow :(:(.

She's gone to bed, but hopefully there's a handful of snow going to join her shortly.

If it does snow there, you should throw a snowball at her while she is sleeping for playing with your emotions like that.

Saganist · 24-01-2021 12:37am

Light Snow D11.

Kermit.de.frog · 24-01-2021 12:37am

Light to moderate snow now but marginal (can hear impact)

Gaoth Laidir · 24-01-2021 12:37am

And that's it. End of Part 1. The precip is about to clear the east coast, with a clear gap back to showers over the west. We'll see what happens in Ulster overnight and what evolves for Leinster in the morning. It was underwhelming here (Celbridge) anyway so far. Must have slipped through a gap in the precip because 5 minutes of dandruff is all I got.

Out to buy some refreshments before Part 2 starts.

ninebeanrows · 24-01-2021 12:37am

Latest radar image would lead one to believe it is snow reasonably well over much of Dublin at the moment, but in reality it is just snizzle!

John.Icy · 24-01-2021 12:38am

Nearly 2 degrees here now in D9. My snizzle will be thinkin' about becoming drizzle if we keep rising. Up ~2 degrees in 2 hours.

not much better here in Dunshaughlin. 5 minutes of drizzle like snizzle, 5 minutes of light to moderate wet snow and then about 3 minutes of drizzle to finish off. Will probably be melted before morning.

BLIZZARD7 · 24-01-2021 12:39am

Normal light snow now in D14, sugar dusting so far

I know I know and usually I'd be out making snow angels, but we're too low on food and fuel to get stuck in for anything more than 3/4 days.

Sad isn't it prob pep up over Irish sea and plaster wales meanwhile we get the fecking cold and the dammed wintry sun still flaking a bit cant see it amounting to much as per met.ie forecast for this area

Nice snowfall in Dublin 5 now and sticking

Artane2002 · 24-01-2021 12:41am

the new white lights near here are making this seem a lot more dramatic than it actually is, it looks marginal too to be honest. better than nothing though obviously.

Prefer the old orange ones, just like the trains.

TonyMaloney · 24-01-2021 12:43am

It has stopped here in Dublin 18, and the sense of general doom seems to have returned

John.Icy · 24-01-2021 12:43am

& out of nowhere we got some real life actual moderate snow! D9.

cnocbui · 24-01-2021 12:43am

Thankfully the light misty drizzle seems to have stopped and now it's turned to fog:

Purple laser and long exposure on the phone.

It definitely became more marginal as it crossed within 30km of the Irish sea. The slightest difference in temperature would have reverted it back to sleet/cold rain.
