Snowline Wicklow likely around 200m this afternoon (around 0m now but set to rise later), but do you have high ground nearby? Wouldn't be surprised to see it getting down to 100m if you have altitude surronding you

Thanks for that. Yeah we arent too far from higher mountains. Lug is to our direct north and tends to shadow us a bit from anything coming from that direction but fingers crossed.

South Laois earlier. Some light snowfall since. Overcast out there with the odd flurry.

TTLF · 31-12-2020 11:24am

Same ninja dusting here in D14

guess December wasn’t a bust here for snow

ronnie3585 · 31-12-2020 11:28am

Rain in Galway City. So near, yet so far away.

Rain on the east coast I'd expect

Pity because it's still lying on the ground at 1030am

jds0ur · 31-12-2020 11:30am

Nice dusting in Swords

*eadaoin · 31-12-2020 11:35am

Frosty morning with a light dusting of snow here in Dublin 8, with some very light showers of tiny flakes. Nice for an early morning walk

Danno · 31-12-2020 11:35am

Getting breezy out there in South Laois. Temperatures up to 0.7c now. Overcast. Hard to know if temperatures will remain low enough to have the incoming precipitation to fall as snow. I wonder is there much chance of the back-end of the trough will fall as snow this evening as it turns colder after dark?

catrat12 · 31-12-2020 11:38am

Any chance the Dublin mountains get a few cm later

Mimon · 31-12-2020 11:39am

10 minute shower earlier in East Westmeath. Enough to make a tiny snowman and snowball fight from layer on cars.

ongarboy · 31-12-2020 11:51am

Snowing in Cappamore, East Limerick a short while ago according to my sister. Seems like a fair bit of the country got flurries this morning! Nice unexpected treat!

Slashermcguirk · 31-12-2020 11:53am

No thaw yet in Dublin approaching 11am, must still be close to 0 approaching 11am

Artane2002 · 31-12-2020 11:55am

woke up to a surprise dusting in Dublin 5!

Its on the way, 1.3c here from -1.8c an hour ago, snow disappearing fast

circadian · 31-12-2020 11:58am

Yep the frost is receding in Dublin 9, doubt it'll hold at low enough temperatures for the precipitation later to be anything decent.

Oscar Bravo · 31-12-2020 12:06pm

From met: Minimum air temperatures overnight at our 25 synoptic weather stations ranged, -4.5°C at Athenry to 3.1°C at Sherkin Island.

Supercell · 31-12-2020 12:32pm

Interesting snow/sun shadows on the Mullingar webcam.

lolie · 31-12-2020 12:42pm

Woke up about a cm of snow here this morning, temperature creeping up a little from earlier.
Theres a lot of little hungry birds out there that'll appreciate some food and water.
I love how dogs get excited by snow as much as any human

Edit: light rain falling now, south Cavan temp 0.8c

giveitholly · 31-12-2020 12:47pm

Ended up with a slight dusting for a finish,saw more snow this morning than I did in 2010

Thelonious Monk · 31-12-2020 12:51pm

Is that it then, well in Dublin anyway, regarding ice and snow? Doesn't look like it'll be as cold again in the next week or so.

As you were for the rest of the wknd and early next week with the potential for a proper cold spell towards the end of next week.

Was just going to ask anyone getting snow out of that stuff coming from the North

Billcarson · 31-12-2020 1:57pm

Wintry mix in ashbourne atm ,sleet rain and wet snow flakes

Gonzo · 31-12-2020 1:59pm

starting snowing a little while ago and started to stick, turning more to sleet now, grass is half white but it's begining to melt now, was only a a slight dusting, pity it's turning back to rain.

Slashermcguirk · 31-12-2020 2:04pm

Bone dry in Dublin 5. Garden and paths still have some ice and snow but it’s thawing

Gonzo · 31-12-2020 2:07pm

precipitation stopped here again, still some white ness in the grass, especially on the edges of everything. Couldn't even call it a dusting but it's more snow than I saw last winter.

That’s crazy. We are guaranteed a covering even in the mildest winters.

ffarrell7 · 31-12-2020 2:21pm

Rain and Sleet now in Carrick across, south Monaghan.

circadian · 31-12-2020 2:25pm

Heavy clouds and light rain here in Dublin 9.

Scratch that, rain getting heavier and mixed with sleet/snow. Not quite cold enough, alas.

Humberto Salazar · 31-12-2020 2:27pm

Miserable icy rain north Offaly. Gone from lovely winter scenes to muck in a couple of hours.

Artane2002 · 31-12-2020 2:29pm

wintry shower in Dublin 5, keeps changing between rain, sleet, wet snow and proper snow, it's proper snow for the moment but light.

Snowbiee21 · 31-12-2020 2:29pm

Light snow shower D5

carltonleon · 31-12-2020 2:29pm

Rainy muck now here in Swords

Kermit.de.frog · 31-12-2020 2:34pm

A wet mix of rain sleet and snow.

Should be fully rain shortly.

mickger844posts · 31-12-2020 2:48pm

Quiet Heavy snow at Punchenstown race course. Covering on the ground there.

Same situation here in D14 at the moment.

DOCARCH · 31-12-2020 2:48pm

Snowing in Dublin 16.

Big flakes.

Gonzo · 31-12-2020 2:49pm

precipitation stopped about 30 minutes ago, still some slushy bits on the grass. Looks like more organised rain is on the way, of course there is always a mild sector when precipitation is around.

31-12-2020 2:50pm

Snowing and sticking in Blessington (200m asl) for the last half an hour. Kids excited. Me even more so :pac:

Danno · 31-12-2020 2:51pm

Hail, then graupel, then sleet, now hovering between sleet and wet snow (snow in heavier brief bursts). South Laois. 89m ASL.

hawkwing · 31-12-2020 2:55pm

Sleet turning more to snow, SE Tipp 150m

Yup

Gonzo · 31-12-2020 2:58pm

back to light cold rain here now and remaining bits of slush in the grass is melting very quickly.

appledrop · 31-12-2020 3:00pm

Raining now here in North County Dublin its like snow never happened.

Thankfully we got out to make plenty of snowballs this morning before it melted away.

nacho libre · 31-12-2020 3:04pm

I wonder what is it like up the Wicklow Mountains. What's the snow cover like up there now?

Sure isn't that why the precipitation exists in the first place!!!

Very light coverage up there now, a bit more above 700m where the snow hung on from a few days ago.
