Looks like Raheny/Killester is in the northern edge of the southern streamer , I can see it just about above me , no snow

I'm just up the road in Ayrfield and it's been snowing pretty much consistently since about 8:30, only just eased off in the last few minutes. What's Raheny village like, anyway? The AA said there was a lot of ice on the roads this morning.

For lovers of snow.

I lived through the April Fools Day blizzard in Boston in 1997. It was absolutely an historic event. It even has it's own Wiki page!

Go read and be jealous.



2 feet of snow in 24 hours. In April.

It was so insane that I was able to walk down Boston's equivalent of the N11 at about 5 PM for an hour, without seeing a car.

A crazy wonderful night.

If Kilkenny doesn't get some of this action today, I'm going to throw an very juvenile tantrum !

Heavy snow in Enfield this morning but eased off in the last hour, snow is now light but steady! The sun came out for a while but he's doing a disappearing act now- waaahheeyy!

Measured 11cm of snow and 25-30cm in some of the many many drifts that have formed around the house and garage

Edit: Scratch the "light but steady"... heavy now!

Was in Kildare town an hour ago where it was pelting it down.
Driving home to Monasterevin on the Motorway you couldnt see 20 feet infront and road totally covered in snow yet 3 trucks overtake me at well over 100kph,if they had a wobble God knows what would happen, complete idiots.

city centre might get a bit more in this next one

A live report from a field in north east Kilkenny...

Very cloudy to my east and north, some snow flurries, snow can be seen lifting and drifting in a freezing wind from an easterly direction.

Edited to add that as I hit 'submit', it started. I LOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOVE snow!

This thread has become too painful to view:(

Just come back in from sledging with the kids.
It measured 7" in my back garden & 9" on the estate green this morning in Castledermot.
Jeep skidded into a ditch across from where we were playing & a few of our larger residents climbed on the tailboard to get the back tyre down to get it out.
Glad I didn't chance driving to work if a 4x4 couldn't keep it straight.
