Get all your photos of the snow in tonight folks, I very much suspect this will be the peak (pun intended) of the heights, tomorrow should bring quite a reduction in places.

Exactly why I dragged muh man outside. He hadn't been outside in it AT ALL. Literally had not left the house since getting home after working a half day on Tuesday. In fairness, he was sick from Tuesday until yesterday.

But I just knew he'd enjoy it once he was out there.

Still some small flakes of snow floating around in waterford

Think that's it for Dublin 18. Just cold and quiet. Place covered and can't imagine local services being up and running first thing tomorrow. At this point I'm kinda glad its over!

Did your beau think this is the last of the virginal layer of snow as he rolled it and caressed it gently with his hard hands and throwing it lovingly at his woman as she smiled longingly at huh man

it's so strange to see the forum 'quiet' here tonight. Been following here, well for years and also obviously last 10 days! Been a great week here and happy out im the biggest snow fan! I'm actually exhausted from the whole build up and event! In a great way though....
I'm looking forward to the morning for one more go at it before it ends enjoy the morning everyone, and ps take pics

Looks like the show is almost over finally--time for Kathryn Thomas to sing. Hopefully it's not another 8 or 36 years to wait for the likes again--but nobody knows Some people probably didn't even go outside to take it all in but they are far removed from nature and more into reality tv etc. Hopefully we get a scorching summer now and skip spring:)

That's cause we'r all broken hearted
You know when it's over and after a while of texting and stalking it suddenly dawns on you...... And you ride out to the desert and you shed a tear as you take the toys out of your basket and you throw them away.... And cycle back to the real World with tears in your eyes.....

Time to open a summer thread. Next stop a scorching summer 2018. I predict a heatwave this summer.

The quietness of the thread is understandable. It was a wild ride. The refractory period varies among individuals.

Just a quick question very impressed by the people in the know here been reading for the last few days and I doubted it but the predictions came true.

Living in Dublin 24 snowed in and no shops open yet again this coming day.
How long until we get some serious melting as this is not fun or funny anymore.

Thanks.

The Event is coming to an end
Been following this thread/s since almost the beginning - wanna give a big shout out to those weather guys who predicted the weather better even than ME - thank you for all your insightful knowledge

To all those guys/gals that have shared photos and videos over the past few days - well it has made this little weather anomaly all that more special, that could never have happened before smartphones and has made it all the more special to see how the rest of the country is. Some amazing photo's it has to be said!

So thank you for an amazing few days where I thought I could catch up on missed TV and ended up frantically following this weather thread and taking 3 hours to watch one single episode

It's the nice, contented sort of afterglow though. Sort of like when you have an absolutely epic ride and you lie there next to eachother not saying anything, with big filthy grins on your faces

Here's to an epic summer before we welcome the Beast From the East back into our beautiful country just in time for "deh Christmas"

God dammit, why'd you have to beat me to it

There has been so much snow love and snow hate over the past few days. But after the event here's my take...

To me It is like going on holidays to Disney...it brings families together to spend time with each other, it allows every member a chance to be a kid again, and most of all it gives us a chance to make special memories...ones that will stay with us forever.

Thank God for Snow Days

Dublin Airport is back in action. 2 Ethiopian transit flights have landed, 5 Shamrocks inbound in the next hour or two

Went out for a walk there as the snow has stopped falling and I wanted one last walk.

Couldn’t resist. SUCH a child. Very invigorating though!

Bye Emma....see ya.

36cm of snow (on the level) here in Dublin 16 this morning. There was 38cm at 11pm last nigh and more fell after that. Compaction and melting underway I suspect....

May have to start a thaw thread. :pac:

Today
The snowfall has ceased in most areas, however on the Wicklow Mountains and over northern parts some further accumulations of snow will occur today. Elsewhere any snow will turn to sleet and rain later this morning. In the afternoon the rain could turn heavy in the east and south, giving a risk of localised flooding due to melting snow. Temperatures will stay around freezing in northern parts but further south they will rise to values between 3 and 6 degrees this afternoon. Easterly winds will be moderate to fresh, but still strong along the east coast.

MissMoc

A big thank you to Kermit for starting the thread and making us all aware - I have lost almost a 10 days of my life following but enjoyed every second - you called it so well.

igCorcaigh

STATUS ORANGE

Snow-ice Warning for Munster, Leinster, Cavan and Monaghan
Update
Some snow this morning, widespread treacherous surfaces due to ice and lying snow. Rain will begin to spread from the south today and this will start the melting process with potential flooding. Updates will follow.

Looks like whatever fell last night has thawed in dublin 4 area

SeaFields

Very light snow here in south Kerry this morning and absolutely Baltic cold.

irishgeo

Got a topup of snow in Castlebar. More snow than yesterday. Or it looks like that probably due to lack of drifting.
