I'm seeing the comparisons to 2010. For my area specifically, it's nothing compared to 2010. 2010 had far more impressive snow here than today. Nevertheless, it has been beautiful! I cannot complain.

Not in terms of snow depth -yet(tomorrow and Friday may well change that), but the cold is very impressive. i am convinced if we had this a month ago we would have broken the all time cold temperature recorded during winter. As it is todays temperature in Valentia must be one of the lowest every recorded for the time of year there.

Blizzard Conditions in Naas now!

Nothing much here except a few light and short showers. Very irritating

Absolutely biblical here. The drifting is amazing. Never seen anything like it here.

Thank you. I'm not looking forward to tomorrow evening/Friday. Sheds open to the east with cattle and sheep in them. My fear is that they will fill with snow in the blizzard. Sheep are on the point of lambing too.

Don't sheep in Scotland and Norway and Canada endure snow during lambing season all the time. I would imagine they are hardier than you give them credit for.

The mother in law is staying with us for the week. It has started bucketing it down in the last hour and we can't get her away from the window. I suppose we'll have to let her in.

Canada and Norway much colder than Scotland...no comparison.......

I knew we had a fairly steady drip from the overflow pipe, wasn't expecting this though:

Long, heavy shower in Clonmel over the past hour. Wasn't sticking during the day, but there's about 1-2 cm on the ground now. Wasn't really expecting anything significant here before tomorrow, so nice surprise.

FixdePitchmark

great snow across D5/D3 -

big flakes filling all the removed snow today -
Ground level at highest level yet.

I think travel tomorrow morning could be worse than expected - as there is a great base for this stuff coming down.

Looks way more than predicted precipitation

Blizzard snow in Dublin 24, fine powder type, odd as you can "see " the wind with it

Same here in Blessington Catrat, I think when the wind veers more ene then we get it. Should have more by morning and then all out blizzard tomorrow night.

How the hell did it get all the way here without anyone else in the South reporting?

they've all moved into one of their spare buy to let propertties on the northside for the blizzard and are just getting over the trauma of crossing the liffey.:D

similar here since this morning, on and off snizzle showers all day not really amounting to anything.

Hopefully Emma will really deliver tomorrow!

Not a snowflake where I'm living but temps are seriously bitter cold
Kids are disappointed but I'm not. If I can get one last chore done in the morning I'd be delighted but not the end off the world if I can't.
