Is the Midlands getting any? Supppse to be bring the kids down to Portlaoise to the grandparents today from Dublin.
Was caught on the M7 the last time so don't want to be caught again.

Portlaoise already has a few cm if looking out my window is any indication, hence my own dilemma above

Bit of a thaw on the roads and paths in waterford

Will this snow be in salthill Galway for 2pm? (Galway v Dublin Pearse Stadium)
Thinking of knocking the trip from Dublin on it's head looks dodgy for driving.

Worst part of the journey would be from Dublin to Athlone i'd say, Galway is safe from this one.
Slight flurry here just now.

Loooking on with envy from overseas...looks like a very respectable event for the end of march! Radar promising for the next while also...enjoy it guys, easterlies are rare!

pelting down now in Dublin 15.....

Scubadevils

Set my alarm for 4.30am and looked outside, clear and no different really to when I went to bed at 12am. Decent snow showers this morning and deck now completely covered - proper snow too, not the mix of stuff like last night. Lusk, North Dublin.

It really is incredible to witness again so soon after the last round, and at this time of year!

Whiteout blizzards in Greystones..

Living here all my life, 44 years and i don't think i've ever seen the place this white twice in as many decades let alone weeks..

Lovin it though

I was wondering why the lack of reports from the east coast of SoCoDu!

Cork can expect snow about an hour or two from now lasting several hours, amounts likely to be in the 3 to 8 cm range. It's heading west along the south coast now. Check the radar. I think it will include most of the county at some point not just a coastal strip.

Met Eireann are of a different view. Those showers seem to break up a lot before ever reaching Cork. Maybe east cork might get a bit of snow.

Regarding road coverage, takes some clip of snow at this time of year to get a good cover on the roads. The roads are hitting 15 degrees on an average day under cloud cover, 30-40C with sunshine....

Speak for yourself, depends where you are in Cork!

I was speaking for myself (assuming people would look at my location). I guess I could have said “I haven’t had one flake of snow down here” but that sounds a bit odd imo.

We’ve got family driving up from greystones to us in Dundalk for 1pm. Starting to wonder if they’ll cancel. A decent covering here so far.

South Kilkenny - it snowed over night but nothing heavy and a lot already melting. I got up at 1:30 with my dogs and it was snowing steadily, very very cold. I got up again at 5:30 with them and the ground was covered. I got up then at 8 and a lot of what had fallen over night has thawed, lots of ground and grass visible but it is still snowing. Seems quite wet snow, not that lovely powdery dry snow we had a couple of weeks ago.
Still happy we got ourselves prepared just in case though.

Going between heavy white out conditions to moderate snow 227 ASL , - 1.9degrees , 22kph winds, Glencree valley, Co wicklow.

None sinetifc, but I estimate at least 7/8 cm of snow with dubbed that of drifting, like the 28 February it did not really get going till around 4am, I still reckon we will see a red warning from met eireann for some this morning suncroft kildare

John Eagleton on the RTE Radio 1 daily 7:55am forecast mentioned the showers will spread further into Munster during the day.

Never in your lifetime will there be an event like this on March 18th, so enjoy it!

There was a tiny covering in Lucan but its almost all melted now. none sticking to the roads at all.
