Woke up to a winter wonderland this morning

Wasn't expecting it so it was a nice suprise! It wasn't so nice though having to clear the snow from my car

!

It was snowing heavily when I was leaving for work but once I got out to the other side of the city (southside) it had turned to sleety rain!

Ah well, I'm happy!

It was hammering down with snow in around Caragh and Sallins not so long ago, looks like more is on the way too

About an inch in Drogheda and just started snowing again. Great to look at.

:D

And stopped, can see blue sky ah well lovely while it lasted.

On our third fairly heavy shower here in Rathangan since around 7am. It was patchy blue skies about ten minutes ago. Not now

okay these new code orange, yellow and red alerts are overrated on the radio!

stopped in Delgany..short and sharp..... can see meaty showers running about five miles off the coast

ninebeanrows · 05-02-2013 9:46am

one or two flakes stuck to the cars here.

Was around 0.5cm in Ashbourne, not a sausage (but plenty of ice) in Ballymun.

Good inch here, happy out!

A good bit of snow in Cavan this morning. Is this it or is there meant to be more today?

Got caught in a fairly heavy snow shower between Slieverue and Mooncoin this morning, not too bad the rest of the way to Carrick-on-Suir. Snow and slush built up along the roads in the usual places. Passed two cars that looked like they had gone out of control and ended up stuck in the built up snow at the side of the road, don't know what the hell they were doing to end up in that situation :rolleyes:

Anyone know if there'll be any heavy showers during the rest of today down this direction?

Sun had come out now and it's starting to melt

Still a few flakes in the wind though despite clear sky so I'm slightly hopeful of another shower.

daenerysstormborn3 · 05-02-2013 10:01am

Just opened my blinds in work and looked out, fairly decent amount falling in Carrick-on-Suir now.

seamus · 05-02-2013 10:03am

Was useless stuff in D24 this morning. By 7am it had compacted into an icy snow mix, mostly solid and slippery rather than soft and fluffy. No more than 1cm of it.

JazzyJ · 05-02-2013 10:06am

Lethal stuff on the footpaths & in the estates up here this morning. Hard and icy. Nearly went on my ear a few times.

2 miles down the road in Dundrum and it's like nothing happened - sunny and dry. :eek:

And it has started again! Plenty of cloud cover now, hopefully it stays that way.

East Cost streamers tonight anyone?

Pseudoname · 05-02-2013 10:21am

Dundalk

We got about 2 inches of snow here youghal/Dungarvan area. Really alpine lookin here now as we are up high.

redsteveireland · 05-02-2013 10:25am

As per section 1.4.122 of the charter - which states, "pics or GTFO" (not really in the charter)

I need a shorter username.

daenerysstormborn3 · 05-02-2013 10:27am

Heavy snowfall in Carrick-on-Suir now. Fingers crossed I don't get stuck in work!

Rikand · 05-02-2013 10:34am

Nice couple of inches in athlone. Had a great snowball fight with the neighbours kids before work

stooge · 05-02-2013 10:36am

Nice dusting in Athlone. A couple of cm on the ground but more than an inch on top of the cars. Took a while to sweep off and get ready for the trip to work. Pics to follow
