Very squally here at the minute with hail and sleet! Really looking forward to this upcoming spell of weather. Could get quite interesting!

[BornFromTheVoid]

The 12z skew-t for Valentia is showing uppers of about -3.9C, so the cold air is certainly sweeping in now. Things should be turning quite wintry now.

 

4.6C here, frequent moderate showers and very gusty winds.

[sundog]

Things definatley turning colder now. Got up to 8.3c here early this morning,now at a chilly 3.8c. Had a fairly intense short but sharp rain shower awhile ago.

Definitely plenty of wintriness in that last shower! Folks where can i check the likes of dew points and stuff for my area? Thanks in advance.

[The Cashel Cockney]

Showers turning increasingly wintery here now.

[ronan]

 Cheers for that bud.

Another intense pea sized hail shower, followed by light snow. Great stuff!

[ronan]

Moderate hail/snow here now! Only bad thing is that the showers are short lived.

[stormforce 10]

just had a squally hail shower.

[ronan]

Damn internet is playing up!! Have a video that i am trying to upload to YouTube of the last snow shower we had. Lovely to see!

[BornFromTheVoid]

Wow, full on blizzard conditions forecast by the 12z on Friday for many parts

 

 

 

 

Fingers crossed it's not a one off!

[ronan]

Wow!!! Amazing charts! 12z is always the one i would count on. Fingers crossed!!

[Neiller22]

i think it might be be a one off. cannot see that happening. bar a miracle

It is very unlikely, and would be very much on the marginal side of things. But I'd say that's how many great snow events come about.

[ronan]

You never know Neiller. Lets see what happens. It would be more believable if this had been showing for a while but the models are all over the place at the minute!!

[Neiller22]

thats my concern. only yest it had whole of england and scotland in snow and us rain. today its role reversal! but as BFTV says this is how things start. If its still showing by next thurs. Game on!!

[ronan]

This little Ireland thread would be in melt down if Frosty/Smithy was still about!! Lol

[ronan]

Wee video from earlier today. Took forever to upload!!

 

[BIG LAD]

was up sliabh beagh earlier and covering of snow above 300mts. temp was 0.5c. temp in town now 1.5c and sky fairly clear. not much in the way of showers here but should deffo be wintry if they come.

[The Cashel Cockney]

Just went out back for some fuel for the fire and to my surprise snow has started to settle. Just a light dusting.

[BIG LAD]

nw radar showing any showers only falling as sleet so will be interesting to see how wintry they are. not much shower activity at all though.

[ForeverPomeroysnow]

Alright folks, a couple of snow showers here today nothing lying though, Right deep breath going into the model thread - should be worth a laugh...
