worst snow here since 1982, no doubt about it. can't get out of estate in a car need a 4x4.

sun is out. seems the snow has dissipated for the time being. hope it gains strength again! we got shafted by the IOM all yesterday and the day before so we deserve a bit of craic up here

Any chance of a slight wind change please, All the showers just passing to the south. I can see them passing just a mile away. Cant complain though shocking amount of snow still on the ground from yesterday. Anybody know what the showers will be like coming from the west tomorrow? Are they the same as streamers coming from Irish sea?

3rd year in a row for Parkwest/ballyfermot too. Lots of dry powdery snow here thus morning and light flakes falling.

I honestly hope it ends soon because I'm 32wks pregnant so pretty scary trying to get in an out of work. Took the day off today after a nightmare trek home last night but have to go back in tomorrow. I'm really dreading if we get a slight thaw which then refreezes like last year because that was so dangerous for pedestrians.

Drove from Greystones into Red Cow today. M50 around Sandyford and up towards Ticknock is still icy at this stage but its fine for driving as long as your careful.

Snowing in D4

Dr Galen · 02-12-2010 11:01am

its easing here in Clontarf but the clouds that brought it are moving steadily inland. Looking out over the bay there looks to more on the way in too.

kenmc · 02-12-2010 11:03am

Snow falling again in Goatstown D14. Light and fluffy at the moment. Sky went from blue and sunny to overcast in minutes. Totally grey now!

réaltóg · 02-12-2010 11:03am

Coming down heavily now in D2

wicklowdub · 02-12-2010 11:04am

Snowing at the Red Cow now, it just wont stop.

Last December and January was just as bad in West Dublin..Blanch/Castlekncok more or less the same amount of snow i.e. 20-25 centmietres on the ground. The same amount fell in 2008/2009:):):)
