    Louth getting hot now, thought we had gotten away lightly alright. Nothing but snow clouds in the sky, some strong gusts of winds.

    Kilkenny city bright sunshine and lots of slush. Some places where there's heavy traffic have thawed but still a good covering of snow on grassy knolls and untrodden pavements.

    In Rathmines here. Definitely a thaw going on at the moment, roads a good bit clearer and no more cars wheel spinning. Roads just wet now rather than slippy. Pavements more slushy than snowy now too.

    Traffic/people walking on snow causes that not a thaw. I am up the road in Rathgar and there is zero signs of any thaw.

    Shambolic handling only having the RED warning in place from 4pm tomorrow.

    So in other words, people will be expected to be into work and once that happens, the majority of employers won't give a shite about people who have to travel a distance to get home by 4pm.

    Tomorrow afternoon will be absolute chaos.

    Dropped out to the mother's to see if she needed any help. She has a big box of salt/grit. I started spreading some on the paths around the house and she told me not to as she "was saving it". I said it's no good to use in June. All around the house is nice and clear now. I don't want to get a call telling me she has broken limbs.

    I disagree.

    People will now be expected to be into work and once that happens, it'll be every man for himself trying to get home for 4pm. There will be madness on the roads.

    No, don’t worry. The red warning is in place for the next 3 days so people won’t be expected to go in tomorrow morning. No Dublin Bus operating tomorrow.

    Not only has it thawed a good bit here in Cork City northside, some of the roads are bone dry. Although as I'm typing this, the wind has picked up and there's a big black cloud blowing in.

    Confused by this comment. Do you live in the Apartment Block on the mainstreet or something?? ie. I can see foot, road traffic and salting/gritting of same removing the snow on footpaths and roads visible to someone living up there and the South facing roofs of houses and shops near those apartments losing their snow and thus giving you the major thaw impression. However the promenade and grass is still white down here, as are roofs, gardens and Bray Head. Strand Road surface is clear/slushy and paths are that translucent grey slush alright though.

    There are two red warnings for two separate events. One for the snow and cold and there other for a wind/snow event. Best to read the full warning.

    Significant thaw on the coast with the sun shining well now.
    Kermit had been convinced there would be no thaw, but as a coastal dweller with many unhappy memories of easterlies past, Im surprised it survived until this late in the day.

    The head of the national emergency co-ordination group said 'we have not experienced blizzard conditions since 1982'. Dublin hasn't but parts of the country did on March 31st 2010.
    This is the problem with this country, there shouldn't be an ignorance to other parts of the country that did have blizzard conditions since 1982, Dublin didn't so we are told nowhere did.
    This is not anti-Dublin, but anti-false statements.

    First snow shower today in North Wexford, see how long this one lasts before the Anglesey shadow comes in again.
