Snowing moderately here in Islandbridge, Dublin 8 atm.

Calibos

Just woke now to more snow falling in Bray today. Rang father who is an early riser. He said its been snowing for an hour and a half here, So that would mean it started at 7am.

It was falling heavy but slowly from the sky if you know what I mean. Its starting to get lighter just now. Looking at Sat 24 we're now under the eastern 3rd of this cloud system where the precipitation is lighter. I'd say it'll be clear skies here again in about 45 minutes.

This topup will mean the Promenade, grass and beach will be 100% white.

Tiriel

Snowing with the last hour now around UCD, quite heavy too - hard to keep the wipers going on the car with icy patchs and now snow to battle too!! Hope it'll be ok to get home at 6pm

Prundic

A light snow falling in Blessington at the moment.Very grey skies all around.

DOCARCH

M50 and Dublin City looking pretty snowy atm (pitty O'Connell Street camera isn't updated).
