Just walked home from the local(about half mile or so) and my God is it bucketing down the white syuff here,just outside Gorey.

Roads will be a serious no go around here in the morning

I've been told for years it was one of the biggest snow events we ever had.

I believe it was because a westerly system hit a very cold system and a downpoor of continous snow occured for 12 hours solid??

maybe im wrong?

if any of the snow experts are still here is there a possibility of this happening

The only thing better than snow is THUNDERSNOW. 3 strikes confirmed after a good 15 minute pelt of the graupel in D5

London is in that area on the radar and it doesn't seem that bad there.

Is this just tallaght or all the country?? But specifically, what's going on with taxies in Tallaght, was waiting an hour and a half for one from the Square today. Do Taxi firms not understand Economcs?

ADVERSE WEATHER + **** PUBLIC TRANSPORT = INCREASED DEMAND + MORE BUSINESS

I will never again listen to a taxi driver moan about the lack of business! 90mins of wait in Sub-zero temperatures, when there is an overabundance of taxies in Tallght in ordinary weather is an ABSOLUTE JOKE.

Red sky in Navan..:D

Type flight 24 into google or radar virtuel. Not all aircraft will show up due to not having a ads-b transponder.

Thunder an lightning here in finglas towards airport! , coming this way I think, hopefully it has alot more to give off!

Simon Gruber Says

Judging by the blizzard we're having here on the Dublin coast, I reckon the airport will be shut again.

Didn't get to stay open for long.

No college tomorrow, and it is currently snowing again in Navan. Life is good.
