Ireland Regional Weather Discussion 16/01/2018 Onwards

[booferking]

Rain here but only really started last 15 mins or so watching to see if it changes.

[booferking]

Yep turning sleety now changing very quick it seems.

[ronan]

Snowing away here but just been light the past half hour.

[Sparky72]

Amazing considering the radar. Nothing here!

[Juuyoku]

Light snow here at the minute. Ground is soaking though. 

[booferking]

Snowing away here now.

[ronan]

A bit of melt from earlier but definitely still snowing. Looking at the radar that big area of precip down the west coast is coming in more of a North Westerly direction so hopefully everyone starts seeing some snow showers. 

[ronan]

Heaviest snow of the night yet. Massive big flakes and everything white now. 

Edit...Heaviest snow of the winter yet!!

Yes its very heavy but just trying to lie now. I have to admit im a bit surprised as it was not forecast to hit here that much. Radar looks great

Exellent. Great to see. Just goes to show that we can't really trust forecasts.

Looks like it will hit here as well! Where you at in Donegal? 

[Sneachtastorm]

Near letterkenny. Winds picked up a lot during the shower, plus side will push them further east. Downside they don't last as long for me ha

Nothing but rain in antrim, elevation required?

I’m in Mallusk and there’s a layer of snow on the ground developing - that’s after a period of rain. Still snowing out.
