Casement: 5 cm of even wet snow covering all the ground.
Dublin Airport: 3 cm of dry snow snow covering more than half but not all of the ground.

Cork snow shield fully restored, the few flakes we got around 10 are just a memory now.

you must be joking...at least 8 cm in Castleknock which is just up the road and still snowing

Doesn't look like 8 cm to me. Don't measure it on the grass.

Long may it remain in place.

Could there be a third within weeks?

Well there is a chance of a cold northerly at the end of March and the start of April.

Anyone know what the n11 is like between Arklow and Bray??

Is it gritted or cleared??

Can't say for certain, but Wicklow County Council are playing a blinder on the text alert service and they say that gritting and ploughing is ongoing. Caution advised for all roads - slippery conditions. Secondary roads should be avoided.
Sign up for text alerts on the WCC website (select all sub districts that apply to your usual travel route).

Big fluffy flakes in Limerick City, not really settling though and strangely windy for an easterly.

Yes hooray for the return of the Cork snow shield. Just driving into town now for lunch! Makes a change to being snowed in for 5 days!

How long is the snow supposed to continue ?

grumpymunster

Was just out and about in CityWest / Saggart / Rathcoole does not seem like any gritting done anywhere. N7 in that area not great and slip roads quite bad

Anybody got information on the bread situation?

Moderate snow again in Dublin 16. -0.7c atm.

Getting ready to trek to the pub for sanctuary!

This is ridiculous. Everywhere around East coast of Meath they have huge amounts of snow and it might aswell be raining cause the snow is just melting......

F**k you Isle of Man.....

Wicklow through very S.dublin and into N.Kildare look like benefiting the most at the moment from this regeneration over the Irish sea. Starting to beef up nicely off the Wicklow coast.

Whiteout again in Laois ...blizzard like conditions. Temp staying around 0 ...I can imagine it will thaw fairly quickly if it ever stops bloody snowing, snowing all morning. Not always heavy.

Jimjay

In wicklow town. Heavy non stop snow all morning.

If you can't see a slice held out at arms length you are in a blizzard. Not quite there yet.

You obviously have never experienced a total whiteout.

the terms 'white-out ' and 'blizzard - like ' should be automatically filtered out from this thread
