    About 3-5 cm I guess up near Knockmealdowns (still in co Waterford though :) ).
    Very wet snow, if it rains any bit it'll be gone quick but it's still falling as snow, albeit smaller flakes now.

    I have to revise my estimates, there's 9 cm on the table outside, and 14 cm in the grass ! (on a pretty flat surface) One very happy little guy here.

    Very heavy snow shower, thick chunks. No sticking to the ground though it was already wet sadly. Cork, it's been too long. Finally!

    Keep sending in your pics! :O

    Was just going to ask if anyone knows what conditions are like up the mountains? Will venture up there tomorrow morning

    Currently lashing splodgy rain in Sandyford also.

    I live to the left of the hill on the left of that photo...the snow is certainly hanging around! There was about 3 inches at my house, on top of the car and about 4/5 inches at the top of the hill beside me.....it has a big mast on it which you can see from the M4, especially near the toll plaza

    A few miles down the road in Celbridge it was pure muck. Rain all the way overnight

    It's a beautiful morning in Tuam! didn't get the hard frost we were promised last night but I am not too cut up about this at all as some of the little cuttings I planted last year are beginning to show signs of life. I personally could not care less about frost and snow at this time of year. :o

    I kind of wanted the day off work so that's why I was annoyed. Smashing day though. My hands are freezing and the kids have snot coming out their nose like no tomorrow but everyone is happy!

    What's the actual motorway like. I'm on a bike going home later?

    Lads it was rough enough commuting at 7am from Midlands to Dublin. Can i expect the same tomorrow morning or will it be just wet?

    The heavy wet snow has caused power cuts in parts of north Kilkenny.
    ESB say expected restoration time is 3.45pm.

    At 11am the motorway was fine - just some slush in the margins which will be well cleared by now

    Ok, I have messed with the exposure to make it a bit more dramatic than reality... Galtee Mountains in the far distance.

    horrible, cold, wet muck since yesterday evening, side roads full of water here. Really looking forward to the dryer and milder conditions following from the weekend.
