My rain turned to snow! Showing as rain on radar but definitely snowing....

[Longtimelurker]

Snowing heavy in Donegal. Rained for first 5 minutes giant flakes since. Winds picking up. 

[booferking]

Had a wee peep out the window guess what it's torrential i mean torrential rain.

[ForeverPomeroysnow]

Looks like it was only rain here

[mountain shadow]

Rain here too.

[somofagun]

Heavy snow here now after a sleety mix so far

[Sperrin]

We had a rain night too, temps just increased too much.

However, cold air has wrapped around the low pressure system and we've got extremely heavy snow again that's turning everything white!

[somofagun]

Yep gettin whiter

[booferking]

Same here heavy rain last night now heavy snow when it is meant to get milder.

[ronan]

Just plain old rain here. Radar not showing any snow either. 

[mountain shadow]

Surprised at the snow reports this late morning, it was all meant to be rain by now, maybe the heaviness of the precipitation is leading to evaporative cooling and temps on the higher hills just about good enough for snow.

Surprise snow is always the best of course.

I thought it needed to be calm for evaporative cooling? I'm probably wrong

[Sperrin]

Back to rain for me!

What's your thoughts on next few days lads?

Chance of more snow tonight, similar to last night. Storm this weekend. Warnings out. 

[mountain shadow]

Not seeing much myself Sperrin. Looking ahead towards next weekend looks more interesting as we look to be South of the Polar jet, so the chance of snow then, however it will be marginal as ever.

I don't see any chance of laying snow to sea level in the next 12 to 14 days.

[Longtimelurker]

Met Éireann snow warning for tonight. 

This is a pic I took last night. All gone now unfortunately 

 

[Rocheydub]

Guess what? It rained last night! :-)

MetE going yellow alert for snow tonight mentioning Dublin. I really don't see it to be honest, most likely rain, maybe Dublin mountains might get some. 

[Weegaz]

Big lot of rain on the way here....temps not low enough here for the white stuff. Next weekend still looks like something to keep an eye on.

[Rocheydub]

So the Dublin snow shield I so often go on about, may be breached tonight... But look at this radar shot from MetE. See that green circle in the north side of Dublin? My house is right in the middle of that!!! I kid you not. You lot think I'm paranoid!!! :-)

 

[Weegaz]

Starting to get more pink as it approaches ni from the southwest

[booferking]

Reports of snow in number of places in the south last night colder for snow and we got rain you really have to scratch your head sometimes let's see what we get up north.
