temple bar cam seems to be down

Beginning to clear a little now after intense showers for nearly 3 hours now. No good at guessing this sort of stuff but I’d say it’s more than 5cm, very happy with that.

The best snow I’ve seen in years, makes the northwesterlies look like drizzle. Pure white gold. Please god it won’t melt in the spring sunshine.

jds0ur · 28-02-2018 3:27am

Looking out the window you'd swear we were in Norway!!

2nd Row Donkey · 28-02-2018 3:27am

Thought I saw another flash of lightning there a minute ago but it was just the neighbour directly across the road taking a photo of the snow on his phone from the top bedroom window!!

PokeHerKing · 28-02-2018 3:28am

Kerbs have all but disappeared in d24!

aidanodr · 28-02-2018 3:28am

Carrigaline, nearer southern coast, is getting lots of snow over night. However it looks like cork city further inland is getting none. Last time city got snow was around 8pm.

It seems carrigaline is under the edge of sno clouds skirting the southern coast and coming from the east.

So extremely localised falls which might need extremely localised differing alert colours.

Heavy snow here in south laois. I warned people. They didnt listen and now they'll wake up to some sight.

Yeah it's bad in Mevin.

glack · 28-02-2018 3:28am

Still nothing major in Drogheda but looking at the radar you’d swear we were after getting pelted!!

MJohnston · 28-02-2018 3:29am

Blizzard-ish in Cabra, D7:

gabeeg · 28-02-2018 3:29am

Just back from a walk in D16.

Was real Tom Crean stuff. Main roads are as bad as back roads.
M50 somehow still running.

There's about 12 cm here and still bucketing down.

Day one

squarecircles · 28-02-2018 3:30am

I love the way snow makes everything look sterile and crisp,in the same way that continental atmosphere makes things look prettier...takes away that manky,depressing grey mouldy aesthetic I associate with irish urban areas.

Wind has died down and visibility is improving. Kerbs almost gone.

Calibos · 28-02-2018 3:31am

Another reasonably heavy shower now in Bray that I wasn't expecting. BrayHead invisible again. I think me not expecting it was a combination of the Wales Radar seemingly going on the blink on and off meaning the showers only visibly popup when in range of the Dublin Airport Radar and the following:

Seems like the fact that the ENE has arrived again near Wales upstream is giving me the sea fetch from Liverpool to Anglesey and then Anglesey itself isn't presenting much of a Shadow as the streamers pass over it and take their Easterly course across the Irish Sea to me. ie. a Pure Easterly without that bend would have half the sea fetch.

I definitely lose the streamers come 11am tomorrow though when Windy.com says I have an Easterly with a small southerly component.

Dublinlady1513 · 28-02-2018 3:35am

Oh my days!
This is the best day of my life already! I want to smash a big pie in the faces of all people who doubted this weather yesterday.
Dublin 11 and bucketing down, can't see the footpaths anymore!

It's a crazy commute day after day but it's a job.

I'm surprised there isn't a Dublin Coach special up the Sally Gap this week the way they drive on the N7. Horrific driving. You'd think they'd stolen them.

I always think that and the same about JJ Kavanagh drivers - I think they watch too much Ice Road Truckers and programmes like that.

hmmm · 28-02-2018 3:37am

I don't think most businesses in Dublin were expecting Wednesday to be a problem.

Yep no let up here at all! Looks like a slight shift more North east again in wind based on latest radar

That’s like the reaction of me as a 7 year old to Christmas morning

It’s amazing the effect snow can have. I think we probably all have that in common at this time of the morning and if not and you’re reading this- go to bed!

_Dara_ · 28-02-2018 3:39am

Very fine snow, no big flakes. A nice, dry sneachta! &#55357;&#56845;

Settled into a prolonged spell where I am.

I was down west in 2010 so missed the Dublin snow. So glad to finally experience proper snow in Dublin.

There is a strong chance of a red warning for Dublin, but maybe not.
