    Why is the luas also cancelled tomorrow? Isn't the warning due to end at lunch time tomorrow?

    I understand dublin bus being cancelled because it will take a while to clear every road

    The snow is due to continue all through tomorrow in Dublin.

    Even if it did stop by 12, do you expect them to have the tracks clear and safe to travel on immediately?

    No but I thought they could clear the tracks and have it open by around 4

    Was speaking to some Dutch tourists and they could not believe the hysteria and panic over the snow. Packed shops buying vodka and month supply’s of bread.

    A drop here too from -0.3 down to -0.5c.
    Joan Blackburn has just said that snow should turn to rain only on the south coast tomorrow. I am less worried now than I was half an hour ago- this easterly has taken 30 years to get here!

    Yes, when I was a youngster I used to be mesmerised by tales of 1947 from the old folk.
    Was it 95 or 96 we had bad snow as well i got stuck in my grannys house out in the middle of nowhere for a week grandad had to bring me home in his tractor lol

    The snowfall warning ends tomorrow but doesn't not mean it just disappears.

    Why do people expect everything to resume within minutes?

    Today wasn't bad in Kilkenny at all. Bit of a thaw actually and just light showers.
    Yesterday was far worse here. Assume its on its way now...

    Getting it here on the North Side too :D

    Edit: And it's stopped.. Left a nice dusting as a base layer though..

    The roads are so cold here. In la touche park there is a layer of ice on most of the estate half a centimeter thick. Had to walk in the middle of the road as the paths were far worse.

    Snow here in kidare all day and hasn’t got above -1 yet while it’s still below freezing and still lashing snow yet there is a thaw on ? How is that possible icicles forming on cars and house now and good melt on ....anyone explain this ?
    I think it's mainly down to the fact that we never got a real penatrating frost also houses ect heat up melting the bace layer of snow causing the icicles

    Here's an interesting coincidence, (well I think so) The BIG ONE in 1982 started on a Thursday evening, snowed all day Friday and petered out on Saturday morning.

    It's been snowing on and off here in Wexford Town all day but nothing sticking. With the wind very strong it's been swirling around. But since around 5 it has gone from light flurries to low visibility and what looks like heavy rain, but when you put your arm outside you quickly realise that they are ice pellets and are freezing. Still not a huge amount of cover on the ground, but there are already drifts backing up against walls and fences...
    And this is just the appetiser

    How are "they" (whoever "they" are) going to travel to clear the tracks? And how are the drivers going to travel to drive the trams?

    There are so many posters on this thread accosting German and Dutch tourists for their opinions about our snow warnings. Give it a rest lads. Let the tourists alone.

    Think the very top edge of Emma possibly arriving here now on radar? Wind has picked up driving snow from ground and fencing. Snow is sticking to the pavement I had cleared. Icicles over a foot long hanging off a shed roof from a slight thaw this afternoon. Going to be an extremely wild night by the looks of it.

    Batten down the hatches..
