went up sliabh beagh for a walk earlier and very wintry above 300mts. beautiful cold winters day!

[BornFromTheVoid]

Nice pics BIG LAD! Still waiting to see something like that on the mountains around here.

Temps now falling back, currently 1.7C after a max earlier of 2.2C. Certainly a chilly day out, with lots of frost about.

[sundog]

Max today here was 2.4c around 2.20pm. The coldest day ive recoreded since March 2013. The temp went below 0c about 4.45pm, i think the most early in the evening it has done so here since Dec 2010.

Current  temp -0.5c.

[ronan]

Looking like temps could drop to -6/-7 tonight. Probably aided by the fact that the frost hasn't lifted here all day! Had a lovely drive up over the Glenshane today with an inch or so on the top!

[gary1365]

Aye there's even frost left that was exposed to the sun here already a hard frost here and it's not 6 yet glad we're both off tomorrow morning

[gary1365]

You could literally ice skate down my street and it's only 6 I'm worried now about picking up the misuses at 8 the road she works down is awful in the ice was really bad this morning it's only going to be worse tonight

-1.8C here now, mostly clear but starting to turn a little misty. Max of just 2.2C, so the first day of winter with an average below freezing is pretty much certain.

[stormforce 10]

-2.5c now, severe frost and dense freezing fog out.

[sundog]

-2.3c here atm,coldest temp ive recorded so far of this year 2014 and winter. Great to see cold nights like this again after what happened last winter.

 

I see more winter is over posts in the Mod thread and here we are in Ireland and Britain having some decent enough winter weather in my book atm   ,granted this little spell will be shortlived but still nice to have it imo. I love this weather type.

Mullingar has been reporting <50 m visibility in the last few hourly synops, and temp/dp most recently -4.9/-5.6 °C at midnight. It's reported Light Snow but that is most likely instrument error.
