Net Weather radar and Met Eireann radar says it is snowing here in south Kilkenny  for last half hour and not a flake yet either.....can see why Met Eireann have changed latest forecast update from snow to snow flurries....front is dying a death as it moves east it seems

It was only ever sleet here in limavady. 

[mountain shadow]

It's evaporating before reaching ground level.

Coming down nicely here now, not heavy but starting to get a covering. Leixlip Kildare.

Finally light snow now falling here in Kilkenny...might get a dusting / light covering 

[Aliaalu]

Light spits of something wet and cold in Sydenham.

Precipitation been over me last 30 mins but not one flake of snow. Quite comical really. Dry as a bone outside

We're expecting the models to predict an Easterly in two weeks but they can't predict snow an hour before it's meant to happen.

Yeah I know. It’s a bit of a joke to be honest. Warnings out for tomorrow and weds morn but to be fair I think I will just ignore them from now on. 

[Aliaalu]

Light snow now, starting to lie. Footpaths getting white.

[Rocheydub]

Snowing moderately here now, instantly sticking as surfaces are dry and cold enough. Not a covering yet, but if the intensity gets higher as expected, then we could have a fun night. Dog and lead at the ready!!! Can of beer gone into fridge for midnight walk!

[snowydog]

I have snow on my app until 3am and snow on netweather forecast from 6am - 9am? Lol ??

[somofagun]

Ground was completely white 15mins ago. Starting to melt now. Grass has a good covering.

[Neiller22]

It’s started snowing at last and starting to lie already. Hallelujah!

If it keeps snowing the way it is here at the minute MS, in 2 weeks time i’ll have an inch in the ground 

[Weegaz]

Wonder could this have beaten the record for the slowest ever moving front....or is it the antipication and let down that has contributed to these thoughts 

Hopefully some heavy showers pop up overnight now a skiff has set a base

[Rocheydub]

A mix of Snizzle and Slizzle here now. Everything that had settled has melted. Wasn't expecting proper snow until after 11 and a lot closer to 12 so not too disappointed. Midnight is too close to bed time for comfort. I can hear the dog whimpering in disappointment at he flake size!!!!

[Sneachtastorm]

I knew it wasn't going to amount to much when I saw how light it was. Had the lightest sleet earlier in the day, then spat tiny bits of snow. Covering on the higher roads that's about it.
