There is a lot of potential hanging out in the irish sea, looks like it might come in south of Dublin, Navan and North Co. Dublin look to get a bit more this morning...

By Skerries standards we got a good dumping this morning. About a half inch . The wind shifted and we got out of the IOM shadow. Started as hail with 2.3G temps and last checked was 0.8 with snow. Wind has shifted now so we may be out of the streamer train again.

Another 6" of snow again last night and still at it. You cannot drive a car on any of the back roads. Main roads just about passable including the M9. Just as well I can't get it out my driveway!

Another serious blast last night here in Athboy, co. Meath. Buses to Trim and onto Dublin cancelled again this morning so we are going nowhere - if the buses aren't chancing it then me in my little Megane isnt either!

Anyone think we will get more snow out this direction cos Sky news weather seemed to think it would be eastern coastal counties for today and tonight!

OH walked home from city centre last night, was prepped to walk in, but all buses serving Palmerstown are operating as normal. Snow again last night...snow and cold I don't mind, total lack of road & footpath clearing I do mind.

I volunteer and have been excused going in until it has cleared.

Be careful though - all buses that use Lucan Rd were one of the first to be stopped completely, before 4.30 yesterday

navan getin it good

i just don't get it, it looks like johnstown only got maybe 1-2cm in the night but all the other navan heads are saying it was bucketing it down all around navan. i'm cursed.

snowcam still going, but nothing much new to report although i managed to sharpen the focus a bit, the sun is reflecting off the window a bit.

fingers crossed we get some more today.

click to open in new page, F5 to refresh image

if anyone else (preferably someone with a nicer view than me!) wants to set up a snowcam, its very easy to do with any webcam and some free software called yawcam. it'll do streaming video as well so you could use it for security, but i wanted to save my bandwidth in case a lot of people started looking at it at the same time.

if a few people did it, we could maybe even set up a website with everyone's feed on it so people could see what the weather is like around the country?
