the showers are fairly evenly spread- however more concentrated to the North of Ireland, less so to the South & East

Going by the bbc forecast earlier there still a good chance of snow in the west tomorrow, might not thaw fully

On their website it says sleet here in the morning, then heavy rain all day. Snow showers at night. Will just have to see I guess. It has stopped snowing here for now. Radar showing sleet. It can stained glass window off!

Looking good hope you get a big snow dumping!

[Juuyoku]

Is this current blob the last of tonights snow? I can't sleep as I'm constantly looking out the window lol. Half expecting the school here to be closed tomorrow - they have for less.

[Rammie]

Cork and kerry now status red.

[skywatcher]

Good luck to you all today, especially those in Cork and Kerry.  Amazingly, my ferry is still posted as sailing, albeit delayed, but the problem's going to be getting there at all.  The weather conditions Wicklow to Wexford look atrocious.

 

There was a sprinkling of settled snow overnight here but it's gone now. It hardly matched up to the spectacular amounts in the NW.

[ForeverPomeroysnow]

Good luck today to those in the firing line of the wind, take care guys and gals

[Juuyoku]

I think everyone has had the same idea as me today - looked outside and decided on a snow day lol. Not a being about, no one away to school even though no one has a notion if its opened or closed. 

 

Just as Ive been typing this Ive began to hear a few gusts.

[BIG LAD]

was snowing heavy here at 2.15am with around an inch on the ground. by 8.30 it was all washed away. heavy sleet all morning. mountains will get a serious dump from this but prob only above 300-350mts.

[ronan]

Good fall of snow but raining now so not expecting it to last long! Good.luck to all in the path of the storm. Stay safe.

[Juuyoku]

Just sleet here now, nae impressed. Everybody in the line of the storm please take care and keep us updated.

[ronan]

I'm seeing reports of very heavy snow in some parts of Donegal.

[Sparky72]

Sitting in Derry, alternating between rain, heavy sleet and hail.

Gusts of 131 kph recorded, justifies the red alert issued by Met Eireann, with more to come. Thank God this thing is moving through quickly.
