Ireland is kinda like England in that respect. We had snow in 1947 and we still talk about. England and 1966. Enough said ðŸ˜

Sticking well now...but looking at the rador should clear soon unfortunately

Mortelaro · 26-01-2020 8:51pm

Currently 2.6c in Arklow
Dewpoint -1c

Some stuff heading in on the radar even here,should be some snowing on the hills here shortly at that I suppose

The weather has changed drastically here in Donegal just now, all of a sudden the wind picked up and even seen a few flakes blow down with the squalls.

Graces7 · 26-01-2020 8:59pm

Percussive precipitation... Please don't ask me to go out there to see if it be wet or white...

BUT the last cat to seek refuge was still black when she wailed and came in.... Good enough for me!

So it is raining out here! Windy too...

Meteorite58 · 26-01-2020 9:20pm

That's a recent cluster of sferics off the SW

STB. · 26-01-2020 9:23pm

If anyone is missing a cat or a dog then they are probably down here in Wexford.

Píssing it down. The type of weather only suitable for canvassing politicians.

BullBauld · 26-01-2020 9:24pm

Christ lads it's baltic!

Gonzo · 26-01-2020 9:29pm

the front didn't make it here in Meath, the middle section broke up completely and just gave some cloud. It's back to clear skies here.

Jimbob1977 · 26-01-2020 9:36pm

Limerick City outskirts

Dry and cool

Wouldn't fret about it.

There will be further heavy snow showers through Connaught and Ulster overnight with some areas seeing a pretty comprehensive covering by morning.

those sferics just appeared on the Met Eireann rainfall radar at 8.20, I assume they are heading in a NW direction possibly Co.Clare

I was in Doonbeg earlier and heard a faint rumble far out at sea.

Mortelaro · 26-01-2020 9:53pm

Lashing sleety rain here near Arklow at the moment
Quite a few wet flakes in it
Rain rate up to 16.4mm/hr
Must be interesting on the nearby hills

Maybe later in the night but it's always more marginal in exposed coastal areas. You'll probably see some flakes but not a covering.

Sigh! All we can rely on out here is gales!

Donegal Storm · 26-01-2020 10:01pm

Was outside a couple of hours ago and surprised to see ice on the car, didn't think it was that cold. All melted now though with heavy sleet

nacho libre · 26-01-2020 10:12pm

No snow here in Galway City- hopefully there will be some at home later!

pauldry · 26-01-2020 10:15pm

Drove Dublin to Sligo. Temperature went from 5c to 1c from Boyle heavy sleet

Now up to 2.2c

michellie · 26-01-2020 10:22pm

I missed the snow in 2018 as I was in hospital having a baby (lucky to get to the hospital) only seen it from the window&Facebook, so I would love a little snow day or two this year.

sunbabe08 · 26-01-2020 10:23pm

By the looks of those models the cork snow shield is firmly up ðŸ˜ž

pauldry · 26-01-2020 10:24pm

A large chunk of the precipitation has gone North

Now frequent passing showers of rain hail sleet and snow.

Any whiteness will he short lived except on hills

TTLF · 26-01-2020 10:25pm

Dry as a bone here in Dublin, hopefully tomorrow we can get more intense snow/sleet showers our way by evening.

Or if we're lucky, overnight tonight! hehe

Yet you have 5 or 6 posts in this thread trolling it?

This poster trolls all the time, saying this country is such a kip ect ect. Same stuff spouted all the time.

5° here as I was driving the M50, thought it would be colder. Cold rain fell for a brief few minutes.

Left Kildare at about 8pm it was 4° got to M50 and it was 7° and then dropped down to 5.

Mod Note: squarecircles, you have made your point loud and clear, you do not think this thread is warrented so do not post in this thread again.

Yes very hard to post images on boards. I tried with heavy sleet but said image too big . I thought those days passed

I never knew snow accumulations stopped people from posting images....

Hope we get something in Dublin between today and tomorrow night or early Tuesday.

Kermit.de.frog · 26-01-2020 10:43pm

We are looking at a yellow warning (conceivably orange for some counties) for Leinster and northern parts of Munster for snow tomorrow evening/early tomorrow night based on the latest GFS.

An interesting second half of the day.

It shows a fairly well defined occlusion.

Temperature and dew point are fine.

A fairly decent chance tomorrow evening in the south and east.

ah Sure that's probably only in your backgarden in a small section, the rest of Galway is probably green xD

JanuarySnowstor · 26-01-2020 11:02pm

As Kermit says it's game on for tomorrow evening especially the back edge as the trough clears through!!
One to watch closely...

Kermit.de.frog · 26-01-2020 11:04pm

HIRLAM model broadly similar, snow fall a little less extensive overall but it's a higher resolution as well. Certainly one to watch for the east and south midlands - over to the mid west as well.
