Haven't had a bout of non-graupel in D9 in a good while. A slight covering but I'd imagine that we are being held back by the lack of actual snow. Will update in the next while.

Ian Paisley snow.

Wind really adds a different dimension to snow fall, proper drifting on side of some cars already in D12

Always happens, the white of the snow reflects the orange street lights and lights everything up.

It's arrived in Dublin west d15

delly · 28-02-2018 02:42AM

Slow and steady here in South Drogheda at the moment, also seen the gritters just pass by, hat tip to those good folk.

snowstorm445 · 28-02-2018 02:42AM

A good few cm now in Ringsend, everything is covered in white. Spectacular.

It's the orange light from sodium streetlights from your nearest town or city reflecting from the laying snow into the clouds and dispersing into your area. I love the intense orange glow of a snowy night in Dublin, one of the reasons I will miss sodium street lights when they inevitably get replaced by white LEDs.

Spanish Eyes · 28-02-2018 02:44AM

I love reading the late nighters posts. But my eyes are closing now having looked out the back so much now for a sign!

Will keep in touch!

(R10 = main runway, 590595 translates to 5mm of wet snow deposit, braking action good)

Very landable at the moment.

50/50 whether the airfield will be open in 8hrs time though.

Juppie · 28-02-2018 02:44AM

Mental snow in Trim!

Casualsingby · 28-02-2018 02:45AM

Hit and miss nature is mostly due to the showers being so small width wise. Far from beefy but heavy If you catch a sweet spot. So far.

Mullaghteelin · 28-02-2018 02:45AM

There is a definite thaw setting in here whenever it clouds over for any length.

The afternoon heat in the Isle of Man may have helped fire up the first heavy showers around 5pm in North County Dublin. We've had nothing of consequence since just after sunset.

Here's the best picture of the sky i could get through the snow, why did it randomly turn orange?

No thaw at all here and there shouldn't be any really even in coastal areas tomorrow, -0.9c here now with heavy snow, DP -5c.

Edit : it's actually stopped suddenly now.

dodderangler · 28-02-2018 02:48AM

Kinda glad I left the pub at 10. Wouldn't fancy walking home in that. It's heavy and the wind is rough as fcuk. Looking forward to bringing the kids out in morning though. They've never seen real snow.
Wonder will schools be open?

Is the air temperature much above freezing?

As said it's the orange street lights reflecting off the snow on the ground.
