Very heavy snowfall now in Drimnagh with graupel, visibility is low too. Maybe to the end of the block. I can no longer make out the footpath edge too which means its close to a half foot.

Edit: half foot not foot

South Cork. Deep snow. Surprised only a yellow for there. Been snowing lots there all evening/night.

It was probably difficult to predict. South and West Cork seem to be getting lots of snow from streamers that are skimming along the South coast under Waterford. All have complete missed the city. Looks like Carrigaline is getting a big hit where as the city 10 miles north hasn't seen anything since 8PM. Very localized.

I remember in 2010 at the beginning of the snow someone made a snow map and mapped out all the places that people posted as having snow.  Can't remember did he do the depth too.  

I'm supposed to drop my son to the bus in a bit over two hours in KK town heading to central Dublin and from there he goes to Rathgar for work and then back again in the evening to catch the bus from the quays home to Kilkenny.  What are the chances of him being stranded in Dublin?  Should he miss the day's wages and stay put in bed?  

Thoughts, please?

Stay in bed man... going to get crazy as the night progresses.

THUNDERSNOW IN D14! heaviest I've seen all night, adding a cm every 10 mins I'd say

Aspiring

Could swear I saw a flash of lightning just there in south Dublin but not completely sure.

Edit:
Looks like I wasn't the only one :pac:

Yes but it's been ongoing ever since early evening so wouldn't be hard to update it. Anyway not complaining just saying I'm surprised they didn't update to orange for the southern tip.

Bucketing down again, this is insane how incessant it is.
Complete whiteout again

Ah Memories. Haven't seen BrayHead on a moonless cloudy night at 3am since 2010. ie. With the snow cover and reflected light from the Town of Bray, BrayHead is lit up and visible.

Anyway. 75 minutes of high intensity snow there for Bray ended about 15 minutes ago leaving about 5cm.

If Windy.com is correct I'll be in the Wales shadow fropm now till about 5am because the wind veers Easterly but should be back in the game from 5am till 10am as the wind swings back ENE. Then for the next 12 hours till 10pm Wednesday Night back into the Wales Shadow. As long as theres no thaw, I can definitely see Bray Seafront with at least 6 inches by Thursday Night/Friday Morning and we'll see if Emma adds anything to that total

Artane2002

If the snow is expected to blow around surely a red warning will be issued? Lightning now too!

Edit: another flash at 3:08am.

BLIZZARD7

Visibility 20-50m, never seen anything like this!

From the sounds of things in this thread I won't be landing in Dublin tomorrow afternoon. ��
I'm getting seriously worried now

Never say never, flights were landing all evening/night during the snow, they're a lot more equipped than 2010

I hope your right dude. And I hope the pilot has some serious skills to deal with the wind

This is the heaviest snow I have ever seen in this country. Far worse than any in 2010.

On my road, there is so much snow that if it keeps on going for a few more minutes, you won't be able to make out the road anymore.
