    Why does it only go up to 5.35pm?

    Because it's live data, it's not a prediction.

    Snowing pretty much all day in Athlone. We actually had a slight thaw at one stage as shown by the icicles that formed on the cars but there's ice forming on the thawed glass and snow is sticking to it again.

    I've never seen snow like it around here before.

    Well I think it takes time to update, probably gathering data etc, it seems to update every 10 - 15 minutes.

    Lovely to see all the reports of snow countrywide, These streamers have been very hit and miss so understandable people are on edge..

    Here in south east Kerry there has been very light flutters in the air that last a few minutes,Nothing else of note,Be interesting to see what develops even if its limited in this area,just have to wait and see.

    Good covering in Tramore, Co Waterford, hard to say what depth because it has moved about so much, seems to be about 10cm on car roofs.
    It hasn't stopped all day, though it is very fine snow at the moment. Gusts of wind pick up settled snow and swirl it around so its hard to tell the difference between settled and re-settling snow. Very heavy white/grey sky.

    Completely agree with you. Absolutely no reason what so ever for the south west to be included in it, absolutely not. Ridiculous.

    Yawn. Clonakility has had near record snow already. Clonakilty is in the south-west.

    Met Eireann should never have included these regions as far as a red warning is concerned. Yellow at best.

    Wind not coming from the right direction.
    Not true for East Galway and the city, lots of snow particularly in the east.

    Streamers have provided hours of snow in Oughterard today. Loving it. Hope Emma loads those streamers even more.

    Keep an eye here folks, really interesting to watch the progress.

    According to that, it should be snowing where we are in the SE. Which it is, but it's wet snow.

    Remember that normally this depression would just bring rain and gales. It's only the presence or otherwise of the colder air that will turn it to sleet & snow.

    pathetic attempts to "snow" here in D16. Definate thaw in the last few hours. Way more lying snow yesterday. some blades of grass are starting to peep through in places again.

    I know I've said it before but totally underwhelmed and fed up up to this point. major let down so far.

    I don't know what you mean? It's been snowing in D14 all day (only up the road) and even if its small flakes they've topped up some accumulation here a lot more than yesterday afternoon? Heck, even right now its snowing pretty well despite it being smaller flakes, remember, worst is yet to come.

    Definitely getting worse here now in Southeast Wexford. Still very small flakes need them to get bigger but it is very heavy and we are getting cover more.

    Is that snow in Snoop Dogg's world?
