Not to take away from events unfolding here but hows the uk +europe fare-ing? faring?

Calibos · 28-02-2018 02:49AM

2010 level intensity Grauple in Bray atm (ie. When I got 5 inches in 2 hours on Nov 26/27 2010)

_Dara_ · 28-02-2018 02:49AM

The snow on my balcony is deep enough to make the crunching sound! \o/

Slashermcguirk · 28-02-2018 02:49AM

Lovely snowfall in dublin 5, proper bigger flakes now. So close to the coast but everything white.

Kermit.de.frog · 28-02-2018 02:49AM

Pure snow. Can see some schools not opening tomorrow if it keeps up at this rate.

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

I live in the middle of nowhere with no street lights

I'm thinking of driving from Killarney to Galway tomorrow morning and home tomorrow evening, so far the snow seems concentrated along eastern counties, I don't want to get it caught if I did go tomorrow especially as I have RWD BMW. What are the chances of this effecting from Galway to Killarney tomorrow?

Been snowing on and off here in Sth Kildare. Easily 5cm so far.

Kids school text at 11pm stating a decision will be made by 8.15am on whether theyll be open

Tobinjl91 · 28-02-2018 02:51AM

Harold's Cross blanketed in a good inch of snow after that last shower.

Hartstown is like a christmas card picture

There was snow earlier today yes, that's stayed on ground, but this recent shower has only come and gone.

Kermit.de.frog · 28-02-2018 02:52AM

Question. You are a Met Éireann forecaster - you see the radar.

Do you call a red now in Dublin to close the schools?

Choices, choices.

I’m not far from you, that was the most relentless snow we’ve had since 2010. Ten minutes of madness

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?

F it.. if you're off keep them off! Thats my plan for tomorrow, my best childhood memories are snow days with family and friends..work has already text to advise not to travel. Make memories!

_Dara_ · 28-02-2018 02:53AM

The latest-in-the-year decent snowfall I played in as a child was in April 1990 in the west of Ireland. I’m sorry, I don’t remember when in April but there was a very decent covering, enough for snowmen and sledding.

Mullaghteelin · 28-02-2018 02:53AM

Big flash of lighting a few miles to my south, thunder just about Audible.

Very impressive fall in Bray right now.

Can’t see there being any schools open in North Wicklow / South Co Dublin tomorrow.

reckon roads should be ok, only around newcastle west it might be dodgy that always seems to be a pocket for snow.

ED E · 28-02-2018 02:54AM

Dublin Central.

Birdnuts · 28-02-2018 02:55AM

Just off the phone to the Da near Kill Village on the M7 - winter wonderland by all accounts!!

I said earlier this evening we were missing a trick about Wednesday and a red would be called

Slashermcguirk · 28-02-2018 02:56AM

The Irish Sea like a conveyor belt of snow for dublin at this point. Long may it continue

pad199207 · 28-02-2018 02:56AM

EAsily 3 and a half inches on the ground in Naas now.

Mam of 4 · 28-02-2018 02:57AM

Snowing consistently for the last while here , you'd actually think there was a heavy fog down .
I thought my vision had just gone blurry from watching the lamp posts !
If I can find a ruler I'll go out to see how deep it is

P/laoise.

Rodar08 · 28-02-2018 02:57AM

Now that the north west is completely blanketed can anyone tell us some info about what we can expect? Thanks

my uneducated opinion is on off snow showers from now and at times heavy until Emma passes and not much thawing in between times?

If you do decide to travel and roads are dodgy, put about 3 big bags of coal or similar weight in the boot,will help a lot.

Well said. Good 3 inches now in my garden in Tallaght

2013Lara · 28-02-2018 02:59AM

Read these posts, got so excited, looked outside and barely a trace. Wicklow Town. Devastated.

cjyid · 28-02-2018 02:59AM

Constant snow here in D24! Beautiful stuff

Snowbie · 28-02-2018 02:59AM

Snow just kicked off again here, getting heavy
Temp -1.1C

Mullaghteelin · 28-02-2018 02:59AM

The low cloud is whizzing overhead from a tad more of a easterly direction now.
