    Icey wet sleety stuff so not exactly snow yet. Sure it won't stick as the ground is soaked and it's not cold enough for the ground to freeze.

    Left Dublin CC (Hatch Street)at 2.45am and it was mainly drizzle, dropped off one of the lads to inchicore and it was more sleet , as I moved onto the Nass Road it was moderate snow , as I got to the Newlands Cross it was heavy snow all the way down as far as junction 11.

    It was sticking on the Road signs and grass and hard shoulders but the roads looked very very wet .

    When I got to Junction 11 (Killcullen ) it had begun to stick on the roads and was getting really heavy .

    Visibility was down to about 30-40 mtrs and it was lashing it down , got to junction 12 newbridge and I have never seen snow so heavy in my life , went up through the curragh (which was totally white) and could only see 5 mtrs in front off me .

    I am the second turn off when u enter the curragh from the N7 and when I tapped the break the jeep just slid on by my turn ! Had to put the Jeep in full 4WD to get up the little hill.

    It was an amazingly interesting journey home :D:D:D

    Great song to listen to watching the snow falling. Fully justifies being awake at this hour experiencing the beauty when everyone else is asleep.

    I don't expect any lying snow left in the morning, so I'm enjoying it while I can.

    I have been watching and waiting for this all night on my iphone no sleep at all.

    What i have falling here is strange, like ice rain..

    Sleety straight falling icey flakes, leaving an icy layer on things.

    Want some sneachta before it clears !

    Is very light too considering the radar echoes!

    I notice some pulses forming over Wicklow and heading due north

    http://met.ie/weathermaps/radar/WEB_radar_201002250445.gif

    Snow heading south-north, only in this winter could that happen!

    Meanwhile proper snow is falling here now!

    Trying to stick to cars..

    Sleety rain here right by Broadmeadow Estuary - doesnt feel cold enough to snow properly. Not sticking to anything other than a slight glisten on cars; barely discernable. I can hear dripping too which is REALLY frustrating! :P

    We are managing to miss the decent chunks of precip here, the main chunk just slipped off to our northwest, hoping this new one will give the precip intensity needed.
