Haven't seen a flake o' the white stuff here. Also lived in Cork for a while years ago and never saw snow there.

Nice covering Ogie. Depending where you are in Cork, you should see more snow this morning. Keep an eye on the radar

not that I don't believe my fellow rebels, but no snow where I am, so I'll mount a patrol after breakfast.

Tom Cruises Left Nut · 14-12-2011 9:44am

Oh Jebus, someone set up a regional Cork thread !!!

Well it was snowing heavily (but briefly) when I left home in Rochestown at 7am this morning. It was sticking to the roads but it must have rained on it later as it was gone again soon afterwards. Just talking to the wife there who is up in the airport and it is white everywhere up there.

Latest sat. Picture. Corkonians may print and frame it

leahyl · 14-12-2011 9:53am

It's alright I'm here, I'm here:p

It was SNOWING/SLEETING heavily this morning in Cork City - on my way to work and there it was falling, little flakes of white goodness! Then Driving Home for Christmas came on the radio:pac: (except I was driving to work:()

There was white slushy stuff on the rooves this morning and on the cars so some of it must have stuck overnight and then it was ruined by the rain:mad:

irish1967 · 14-12-2011 9:55am

Jeez some people are never happy

K-9 · 14-12-2011 9:55am

leahyl must be out dancing under the flakes.

i'd say anything more we get today will be sleety rain at best during daylight hours. its marginal enough as it is. no real snow here just sleet this morning outside mallow. am surprised it is snow given its coming from the west/south west! perhaps the experts can explain why!

JanuarySnowstor · 14-12-2011 10:43am

I'd expect mainly rain and sleet at best today from now on as warmer uppers move in with the ppn. Cork your snow is gone, for now

Nope,snowing here again with past 10 mins,big flakes too

WolfeIRE · 14-12-2011 11:04am

As upper air temps and DP rise, snow showers here are turning increasingly to wet snow and sleet.

NIALL D · 14-12-2011 11:07am

nice covering of snow here this morning.. its landed on everything even the roads etc.. looking at raintoday there more showers on the way ..:)

WolfeIRE · 14-12-2011 11:33am

Temp 1.8c, steady rain.

Ogie84 · 14-12-2011 11:37am

Temp rising, melting has begun and what is falling now is more sleet/rain than snow

sunbabe08 · 14-12-2011 11:38am

awaits patiently for tonight. more snow i hope:D

K-9 · 14-12-2011 11:54am

Good bit of snow in Raphoe Co. Donegal this morning and flooding on the main Lifford/Letterkenny road.

SeaFields · 14-12-2011 11:58am

I suppose no one cares now that the "s" word is in full flow but violent thunder and lightning shower not far from here awhile ago. Very heavy hail accompanying it. South Kerry.

Thats what happened on the east coast last year for a few days before the snow so always interesting

Reiketsu · 14-12-2011 12:21pm

Reading as well about lorries stuck in snow between Dungiven and Claudy. Its going slushy here now though

. I guess if the snow remains and freezes over it's gonna be fun tomorrow morning!

The webcam in Killaloe, Co. Clare showing a festive sprinkling of snow.

Heavy snow as I went to bed last night but only a light covering this morning, ground is too wet with standing water everywhere. Rain has finally stopped anyway

MiNdGaM3 · 14-12-2011 12:38pm

Just out of bed now, seems I've missed out on a lot!

Was out at a birthday party last night so it was nice to drunkenly stagger through the city with snow falling
