    Snow making in-roads into most of Leinster, 10-20mins and Dublin will see it ;)

    Heavier echoes advancing from the north :)

    What a lovely dawn:) The grass is a pretty blend of green and white and a picturesque scene of a winter morning with moderate snow.

    Weathercheck, its not that suprising that i'd recieve more as im slightly more than 140 m asl and as a rule of thumb, the depth of snow I'd get here is twice that of Drogheda. I guess your asl is roughly the same as drogheda (avg. 20-40 m). Don't worry, you'll see it surely sooner or later this morning.

    Added: Visibility is mediocre, 500 m I can see with little difficulty, visibility goes at roughly 4 km. (2.5 miles). Snow falling slightly lighter but still quite present @0719

    Since I'm 50miles or so south of W'check, no surprise to report nothing here in east Wicklow. Temp has stayed at 3C all night with dewpoint at -2C to -3C

    Grass temp is +1.7C with a min of 0C. So if any snow does fall, it's unlikely to stick at the beginning.

    Certainly cloudy overhead with that dark snow look to it.

    Dublin Airport reporting sleet at 0700. Temp is up to 2C after being 1C at 0600.

    Sleet at Casement as well with temp at 1C. dewpoint seems relatively high in those 2 locations

    Rain here in lexlip...

    I think it's time you took off the snow tinted glasses!
    Looks like I should go to met.ie for my weather, always seem more realistic!


    Outbreaks of rain, sleet and snow. Clearer weather spreading from the northeast this afternoon and evening. Very cold. Temperatures just 3 to 8 degrees at best. Heavy sleet and snow showers tonight near coasts in the east and southeast. Mainly dry elsewhere. Sharp frost.

    Still nothing here, even though radar shows otherwise. I think the radar overstates intensity when it is snow
