My parents live in a part of the west that was bypassed by Ophelia, The Beast AND Emma. Very anticlimatic for them.

Must be neighbours:D as Ophelia was the same, told that morning take day off, got breezy in the evening but that was about it.

In central Donegal and to be honest, it's probably the best week we have had weather wise since Xmas, yes, cold, but dry and no snow for a snowball, never mind snowman:(

Head up Errigal if you want snow

No need go up Errigal as all the lowland area around it, have had a good downfall of snow. Northern half of Donegal has got plenty.

I'd say plenty of people got caught out on back roads tonight.
Most roads were passable earlier today as the flattened drifted snow was compacted but tonight with the thaw the tyre tracks are gone slushy so cars are getting beached.
I had to walk nearly a mile home in a shower of wet snow/hail.

Light snow in Castlebar currently, -3.0 DP.

Action shot!

This was on Thursday in Navan. The big melt has begun and I surely hope it goes on.

WT effin F ! Woke up to a fresh blanket of snow (NW). I thought this was supposed to be over, or at least on its way out I'm tired of winter.

Same here in roundwood wicklow, fresh snow last night and we are still stranded.

Big Melt in Galway city and surrounding areas

What a thaw since this time yesterday! Big patches of the ground are now visible but there's still big patches of snow left to melt.

I see on the radar the NW are getting some more snow as are parts of the UK.

My little cul de sac is full of high slush and driveway about a foot of snow. Time to get digging if I want to get to work tomorrow!

Now, I could be wrong as I'm definitely not an expert but I don't think it started out as snow but by the time it got up to you, it had turned to snow.

Hopefully not much snowfall left and the thaw will set in for you properly.

Really hoping that the thaw kicks in big time today. Back to work tomorrow and I commute on a motorbike (Kildare to Dublin).

Could take the car if stuck, but its an extra hour or more each way.

Still hard to believe the last 5 days happened. How many near misses have been debated in this place over the years only for the whole Country to get nothing short of blasted.

Not the whole country! In my parent's corner of the west, it virtually bypassed them. They got a sprinkling of snow on Wednesday (which is nothing new for them) and that was it. And they're well inland so it wasn't because of the moderating effects of the Atlantic.

Light snow starting to fall Sligo town..

A good dusting here in South Sligo

Raining here. Lots of thawing too.

I'm fed up of the name Beast from the East now. Ever since it caught onto the media, everyone has been saying it and making jokes about it. It would've been much better if only weather enthusiasts used that term.

Still 24cm of snow here in Dublin 16 on the level/away from drifts.

Heavy sleet in suncroft, some parts may see wet snow looking at the net weather radar

We got a text from my daughter's school last night asking for volunteers to help clear snow around the paths and entrances to the school, otherwise it'll have to remain closed on Monday.
Seeing that it's been closed since Tuesday evening, I have a feeling there will be no shortage of volunteers with their shovels later.

Did anywhere in Ireland not get snow

Some mother just asked on a localised Facebook page if up around our kids school is clear,she probably lives nearer to it than anyone else. Maybe she lost all motor function due to the cold and can't go herself to have a look.
