Is Sunday meant to be the worst day then? Rumors of a blizzard like thing.
Sorry I am not very well up to date on the whole thing.
I did however make a snowman and a igloo

Been snowing quite heavily in the ashford/roundwood area for at least the last 15 mins! On top of what we've already got I'm looking forward to lots of snow tomorrow ...even if I am getting major cabin fever at this point!

(btw my first post ever in the weather forum..you guys are great have been reading this like a hawk the last few days!)

Snowing very heavily now in D14. There was relatively little all day but there's been at least 7cm since about 20:00. I measured 15cm in the back garden, about half of which is quite compacted.

Haven't noticed that CroppyBoy. None of the paths around my way are salted. Only problem I had today was getting the clumps of icy snow off her legs and belly that were matted into her coat after a walk. I had to get the hair dryer out to melt them off.:eek:

The army were here today in Dunboyne with the council boys gritting the paths and paths only, fair play to the Commander in Chief I say or CINCSNOWOPSINSANMHI as their title might be if this was the US Navy. Anyway, snow in Dunboyne Co. MEATH has been plentiful all night thus far, every third time I look out its at it again, you lads further inland are just that bit too far from the east, different climate down there, tropical almost.

Hope you get the accompanying thunder shower!!

Only a few large flakes falling.(stopped now) It's so localised it's scary. Posters saying it's chucking it down only a couple of miles from me and I look out and nothing. Very hit and miss right now.

1:59 AM snowing hailstones in Navan.

Throughout the night so far the any showers north of Dublin have been hiting Louth and north Meath in the main. It now seems that they are dipping down into central Meath.

Going to bed. It's currently blizzarding here. Honest to god.

Crazy proper snow.

If if did this for two days we'd be talking feet of snow.


Sleep.

As a Facebook group itself put it: When I'm old, I'll talk about the hard winter of 09/10.

Finally, a story to rival my grandparents/parents tales of times past!

I agree completely. The case of the month long cold snap and the missing minister. :-):-)

Nothing to see but stars in the sky here in Galway, so I'm not too optomistic about a snowfall in the next few hours. The snow that fell 2 days ago is still lying on the ground. A small few flakes fell this afternoon for about 10 minutes but that was it since.

Nothing in Mulhuddart D15 the last 30 minutes.

I've left a few of my empty beer cans in the garden to see what they collect and will use it as a guide in the morning to see how much has fallen.

The Tyskie Index it shall be known as.

The last decent shower of snow seems wetter than the ones earlier. On the glass on my balcony it is turning to drops of water which is a bit odd. Not exactly a big melt, but not something I've noticed recently. Balcony was cleared earlier, and there is about 5cm of snow there now using the finger depth test. Ashtown, D15 btw.

Just to fiinish off a great night i found some fresh salmon (dunnes better range really fcking good actually!) lurking at the back of the fridge wolfed that down, had another beer put dog to bed and am going soon my self soon night all and get your snow hats out, i feel snow in my gut (or is that the salmon gone off;)) .... last thing anne doyle (i think i have no idea i have a very bad memory) had paul cunningham on rte news tonight for an update, I think she said "Paul you are hatless tonight! I laughed nearly as much when i saw that bloody tea cosy on his head:D:D:D

Blow it south about 10 miles. Don't waste it on a kip like Kells.
