Remember folks. The cold air is on it's way. Potentially we're in the calm before the storm. Literally.

Where did you hear that? It's over, thaw underway.

What disappointment.?

The forecast was for 48 hours and for between 4-8 inches in dublin area.

Many areas are already reporting significant snow over night and we still have 30 hours left.

Gonzo

snowed alot last night, an extra inch or 2 on hte ground but massive thunderstorm and rain from about 5.30am so alot of melted and could have been much more snow if it had stayed that way. I reckon all the snow will melt during the day.

not a chance it's over, the thaw is a short term thing.

expect the majority of the country to be totally fecked by tonight.

look for a post by M.T.Cranium around 7:30am. if you're going to take a weather forecast off anyone, you'd be wise for it to be him.

sunbabe08

where's the snow??

ninebeanrows

Precip turning abit more wintry here, to sleet and hail.

Bit wild at times.
