    This thread is brill at this time of night, only the hardcore snow enthusiasts left, not a troll in sight, and a blizzard on the horizon - one of the advantages of working nights, even if I work outdoors freezing my ***s off !!

    Or insomniacs life me who were brought to the thread by the sight from their window! ;-)

    More than I was expecting here in Grand Canal Dock and the night is not over. It looks nice but will paradise the road network!

    Wexford wicklow boarder and I see the snow is on the way here according to met radar. We have about 2cm lying here since early this evening but it has since frozen and the road outside is like glass. And now have a sick 2 year old. Thought I was all prepared but hoping to be able to get out in the morning for doctors trip. The joys of rural living where there's no such thing as road gritters.

    Relentless and it's piling up. Hard to differentiate the snowfall from the drifting at times.

    I don't know what the situation is in other parts of Dublin but the situation here near Santry is going downhill fast.

    No way schools open.

    Do people think we are getting enough for a red warning when the met service wakes up?

    Not the heaviest snow I've seen here in north kk and it's no where near 2010 yet.couple of cms here now and it's lightly snowing as I speak.but could be a different kettle of fish come the morning and the next day or 2.

    Given the reports on here for Dublin and commuter belt areas surely any commute by early morning is going to be chaotic at this stage.

    Can definitely see a Red warning by lunchtime

    Those who have to travel stay safe

    No let up at all and more to come. Intensity at insane level.
    This is on a par with Jan 1987 and that was epic.

    Edit: now a massive shower of hail in the mix. Thought the windows bout to implode.

    How can one miss out on all this fun

    Temp -1.7C
    Dp only deadly
