The cut of point seems to be around malahide very little north of it donabate the fields are green .Dublin city centre is crazy I have never seen urban roads look as bad

Can see the banks of dark clouds to my North east but it's looks like from the radar that the showers are breaking down before they get here. If I couldn't see the radar now I would definately bet on it snowing here. Fingers crossed it will.

They wont start clearing the runway until the snow stops, there are showers forecast up to 12.00, so they are estimating re-opening at 14.00

The RSA has issued their 'Top 10 Safety Tips for Pedestrians'.

I love the description of the overhead hazards - "In extreme cold weather icicles can build up in size very quickly and are lethal. Their size and dagger-like formation are extremely dangerous for pedestrians." :eek:

my daughter lives in a block of flats in churchtown,she had icicles inside her bedroom window.

The decision was taken shortly after 8.30am after two aircraft reported medium to poor braking action.

ok safety first.

Snowing in Sallins, Kildare

MagicMarker

It's been snowing for over an hour in Tallaght, looks like an inch or two anyway. If it's like this on Monday I won't be going anywhere!!

DOCARCH

Still snowing here (since 0730). A good inch at least now. Looking at the 0900 radar, another shower just at the back of the trough looks like it will move into Dublin, so maybe a bit more to come yet!

-1.4c DP -2.2c

Hope there's plenty more to come, DIT might end up cancelling a few more exams that they had previously anticipated:D

that doesn't sound good. maybe there is some truth that tomorrows snow will fall as rain!
