    I think it's just that Dublin has milder air over it than a lot of the country
    I mean there's a southerly force 5 wind here and i just heard the roads around cobh are like glass, and cobh is as coastal as you can get
    Ground frozen a foot down will take alot of thawing

    Dublin okay, but I frequently travel the N3 and I have never seen it that bad in the absence of compacted snow.

    Between 6 and 7 inches of snow here, it must be waiting for more. A very small thaw today but the heavy snow today added more.

    If all the snow on the hills around Kilkenny melted along with two inches of rain it will seriously test the flood defenses in the city.

    More and more reports coming in of just a slight thaw today, with plenty snow around all day.
    The danger of freezing rain tomorrow, albeit short lived, is a very real and dangerous threat. It should be mentioned by Met Eireann, far more dangerous than floods

    what times are the most likely? early in the morning? do you think it will be all rain down south tomorrow? bbc have a portion of snow over munster and met eireann have snow on higher ground.

    On the advice of others on Sunday I avoided a trip into Glendalough. So I am looking to see what it is like at the moment. Is there much lying snow around?

    I went up yesterday, amazing and well worth the journey over... some pics - snowing a lot though as we got higher up which made it difficult for me with the camera!

    The roads etc were fine also, no problems getting there or back.

    Snow still on the ground here 114m (was incorrect all along) above sea level, north of Cork city. It is -1C and freezing. The sky is starry with patches of cloud, at the moment it is hard to see all the snow melting tomorrow..
