This has to be a red alert for Dublin for tomorrow. Dublin 13 and watched a taxi drive down the main road. Two minutes later its tracks were completely covered again.

Maybe it was a taxi for newinvestor :-)

Is this newinvestor a poster on here. Is he related by any chance to youngpensioner?:)

Visibility at 100-200 metres, building up fast now.

And now sir, prepare to measure your snow.

I'm putting on the coat and hitting the streets.

WhiteMemento9 · 28-02-2018 03:32AM

What time roughly are the winds suppose to start swinging round a bit or is it just a slow cumulative process over the night?

adam240610 · 28-02-2018 03:32AM

Any update around UCD?

Can't see out of my rooftop window in greystones, covered in snow.

2013Lara · 28-02-2018 03:32AM

Someone please tell me it'd heading for wicklow town. I've promised the kids so much, they'll be devastated getting up

Vxlks · 28-02-2018 03:32AM

Literally anything that can get some sort of snowfall in it has snow. Even my satellite dish

fleet_admiral · 28-02-2018 03:32AM

Blizzard like in Terenure, south Dublin at the moment

Kermit.de.frog · 28-02-2018 03:32AM

Stopped here for now but that was awesome.

nacho libre · 28-02-2018 03:33AM

Has anyone got a video to share of the blizzard conditions?

kn2k10 · 28-02-2018 03:33AM

This is worse than 2010

Tobinjl91 · 28-02-2018 03:33AM

Persistent moderate to heavy snow in D6 for the past hour or so. Never seen anything like it. Makes you wonder what the rest of the week will be like when the apparent worst of it hits!!

Artane2002 · 28-02-2018 03:33AM

I am tempted to go out in it but the family is sleeping, don't wanna wake them up!

pad199207 · 28-02-2018 03:33AM

Finally stopped here now

I'm nearby, heavy continuous snow now, about 3- 4cm on the ground

Rougies · 28-02-2018 03:34AM

Lightning strike picked up near Kells recently.

You can't see UCD from Greystones even when it's not snowing!

We don't like that word around here. Better is the word to use:)

ninebeanrows · 28-02-2018 03:35AM

~3cm in Dublin 1.

MJohnston · 28-02-2018 03:35AM

Nothing scientific about this, I just wanted to record something for posterity:

Artane2002 · 28-02-2018 03:35AM

Still moderate snow in Dublin 5 but the wind has eased down a tad I think.

Cantona's Collars · 28-02-2018 03:35AM

I got home and found the footpaths like skating rinks,the earlier snow melted on the concrete and then froze. All salted now so I won't be faced with dealing with any family members having broken limbs in the morning.

noisenotmusic · 28-02-2018 03:36AM

A taxi came down my road about 15 mins ago to drop someone home and the tracks have already been covered up. Drimnagh/Crumlin area. I have a meeting at 10am tomorrow that I'm expecting to get a cancellation call about around 8am at this rate.

BLIZZARD7 · 28-02-2018 03:38AM

Almost 8 years since a thread like this guys... Oh how I wish we had this every year

outinthefields · 28-02-2018 03:39AM

4 inches and rising in Newbridge

grenouille1966 · 28-02-2018 03:39AM

You cannot compare this to 2010! Get a grip.

In Dublin 15 between November and December there was over three weeks of deep snow and ice.......with temperatures as low as - 15......so no comparison despite tonight's heavy snowfall in Dublin/Wicklow.

PokeHerKing · 28-02-2018 03:39AM

I'd say there's about 4-5cm in D24 right now.
Starting to pick up in intensity the past 10 mins or so

spoonerhead · 28-02-2018 03:39AM

Crumlin, you’ve out done yourself tonight

I was about to reply, nah we had something decent in 2010. Oh yeah that was 8 years ago

It just doesn't feel like that long ago. Nearly a decade. My god.
