not tracking much but is this just for weekend or can we expect it to fall into next week Monday etc ? as weather seems all over the place rainy mild, to frosty but not dipping below 0 in most areas, for last couple weeks. disaster when it comes to getting flu when these changes happen daily.

The flu is a virus. You don't get it from changeable weather.

5C in Galway. Doesnt feel snowy just yet.

Hoodie88 · 13-12-2019 10:33pm

It feels a lot colder this evening than it has previous evenings near Bandon... Ninja snow again like last year (or year before) maybe!??!?!

Oscar Bravo · 13-12-2019 10:37pm

Jean byrne on the forecast there . She said there track of the system on Sunday is still uncertain however it now looks like rain and sleet in the south will turn to Snow over much of Connaught

Mount Vesuvius · 13-12-2019 11:16pm

Midnight Sunday according to the UKMET.

I think expect a wintry mix but mostly rain in lower elevations and in the south.

screamer · 13-12-2019 11:23pm

Go on the models, almost all of them showing snow in my area....

squarecircles · 13-12-2019 11:29pm

mmm some porn snow for Connaught. A right pasting.

Kermit.de.frog · 13-12-2019 11:58pm

This will be a nowcast from tomorrow morning. Should be an interesting day/night however it pans out.

pad199207 · 13-12-2019 11:59pm

Heavy sleet here in Naas. Flakes are very obvious

sunbabe08 · 13-12-2019 11:59pm

*looks around*

Yup the cork snow shield is up

I shouldn't be surprised any more

screamer · 14-12-2019 12:02am

Hail stones belting off the roof and velux windows south Laois/kk/Carlow border

Yeah the showers will be on and off.

Maybe a bit more prolonged just before sunrise but with temps holding above freezing away from high ground for most any deposits won't be hanging around.

We had decent snowfall the last two winters, this snow shield “banter” is getting boring.

nthclare · 14-12-2019 12:13am

Hail in North Clare lots of it

pauldry · 14-12-2019 12:18am

3c in Sligo town.

After each shower it gets colder but then gets clear and milder. Odd

thasIrrelivant · 14-12-2019 12:19am

Snow in Co.Meath

LowOdour · 14-12-2019 12:26am

Had planned to do a round-trip from Galway to Sligo in the morning... had thought about cancelling it but might see if forecast changes overnight

Mortelaro · 14-12-2019 12:57am

Heavy sleet here near Arklow at the moment, I'd imagine the local hills are getting quite white with it

Davaeo09 · 14-12-2019 1:26am

light misty sleet in Kilkenny

ronnie3585 · 14-12-2019 1:50am

Lots of hail in Galway city.

Graces7 · 14-12-2019 6:21am

Hailiboys out here too. And bitter cold.

Wearing one of the hats I have knitted to sell!

Please, check on old and alone neighbours? Very hard to get shopping and fuel in in this weather.
( fine here as living islandlife means staying well stocked well ahead)

Here comes the hail again! Sounds a little different so maybe sleet ?

West mayo offshore island

topcat72 · 14-12-2019 7:19am

Heavy hail showers , Limerick city suburbs , most in brief but intense squalls. Temp 3 deg

Drove from Douglas to city centre at 6.30. A really heavy shower of wet snow as we drove in - that snow shield may have a little leak in it

The Nutty M · 14-12-2019 8:45am

At about 7 this morning Knock airport had a heavy shower of hail/sleet/snow that lasted about 5 mins. Roads were slippy enough around there. At half 7 it was 60/70% melted. Temperature is showing around 2 degrees but the wind would go through ya.

Absolutely gorgeous.

pauldry · 14-12-2019 8:54am

If it werent so windy itd snow proper. Air is cold but wind keeping temperature that bit too high

Bishop of hope · 14-12-2019 8:54am

Currently snowing wet snow in North Longford, not sticking though.

RobertKK · 14-12-2019 9:19am

Woke up and the car is white with snow here on the high ground in Kilkenny.

14-12-2019 9:30am

Dusting of snow on cars this morning in Blessington. More needed.

pad199207 · 14-12-2019 9:31am

Light snow in Naas 0.9c

JanuarySnowstor · 14-12-2019 9:40am

There's plenty of stuff showing up on sattelite out in the Atlantic. Whether it's cold enough for snow I don't know but it certainly won't be a dry afternoon!! Sweet spot if I could find one would be Thurles (north enough to remain in the cold and south enough to catch the ppn moving through later)

Graces7 · 14-12-2019 9:57am

Nothing here but an icy cold wind..

west mayo offshore island' " night on a bare island"

poconnor16 · 14-12-2019 9:59am

Light dusting of snow overnight - North Cork

OldRio · 14-12-2019 10:07am

Snowing well here in Leitrim at the moment.

Just a quick edit. Not sticking.

TheBody · 14-12-2019 10:10am

Just had a quick shower of light snow in Longford.

davidsr20 · 14-12-2019 10:24am

Nothing much on MT s weather again this morning

corsav6 · 14-12-2019 10:28am

No snow but was awoken by the loudest hail shower I've ever experienced last night, thought the windows were gone.
Very cold here outside Newport, Mayo but a lovely blue sky, great day for a walk.

ZX7R · 14-12-2019 10:29am

Rode through two heavy snow showers big wet snowflakes,
Between maynooth and curragh this morning

dexter647 · 14-12-2019 10:31am

Light snow blowing in the wind here at my location in south west Laois

squarecircles · 14-12-2019 10:40am

latest from met.ie

Cold and blustery today with sunny spells and scattered showers, frequent this morning in
the Northwest. Some of the showers will have a wintry mix of hail, sleet and snow,
especially on high ground with some thunder. During the afternoon and evening
scattered outbreaks of rain, sleet and snow will move Northwards over the country
. Moderate to fresh and gusty southwest winds will be strong near coasts,
with gales in the west and northwest.

The way they worded that there will only be snow on the mountains that have some thunder.

q85dw7osi4lebg · 14-12-2019 10:52am

100m asl in Louth. Sleet now. Ground soaked from overnight rain.

1c

Kermit.de.frog · 14-12-2019 11:04am

Hit and miss through the day. No consistency on where will be affected by longer periods of sleet and snow this evening and overnight from the models.

We'll just have to observe as we go along. Anywhere really is at risk of some snowfall today or overnight.
