Nothing at all in cork city.. ...ah well

CirrusBusiness · 28-02-2018 06:33AM

Looks like about 4 inches + has fallen outside and it's snowing again. Was not expecting that overnight. Surely warning level should be RED at this stage? Looks like we are going to see some large snowfall totals seeing as it's only Wednesday am. Wondering is it worth even trying to fit snow socks. Really gone in to the freezer up here.

Take care in the morning.

In Tallaght. A good snow fall last night. Not sure to chance getting to work or not. I might make it in but have trouble getting home again...

Holy god, serious snow in celbridge. Just woke up to have a look, there's no getting back to sleep now.
Would it be mean to wake my 4 year old up to build a snowman....I feel the urge to recreate a scene from Frozen.....

Hard top believe the amount that fell last night, here in Leixlip. Went to bed last night and could see the grass. Not anymore

A very nice covering in Ardmore county Waterford right down to sea level. Showers started around 5pm yesterday, just had another finish in the last few minutes. Lamppost watching with my 6 year old daughter, happiness is.......ðŸ˜႒

My brother has a hospital appointment in Dublin today, he would be travelling from sligo, last nite I semi advised it would be a bad idea. Said I'd update situation first thing this morning. It would be really stupid for him to travel up for it, right?? I'm in celbridge and it's total white out here. But I remember Dublin in the 2010 snow when I worked in town and it was just mental.

I think the hospitals cancelled all the appts last time it was this bad, so more than likely that’s going to happen again anyway.

About 2-3cm here in East Limerick, still falling, wasn't expecting anything really until maybe Thursday evening... Crazy! Kids will be delighted.

Naw there is something wonderful about fresh snowfall before it turns to slush. Can't wait for my 7 yr old to wake up. He hasn't seen snow like this before so its going to be great to see his reaction. I'm lucky I can work from home so I will be exercising that option today. I think my business trip to Belfast on Thursday is off as well!

Unearthly · 28-02-2018 06:45AM

Good stuff. Text sent to work. Time to enjoy the day

Ich bin ein snowman · 28-02-2018 06:46AM

Just woke up to go for a swizz....holy Jesus Eskimo sperm Christ!! 10cm+ here North Kildare.....and it’s payday! Now to throw my cat out the top window, “pshh pshh pshh, here kitty” (rattles the cat food bag in the bedroom)

HelloMrSnowman · 28-02-2018 06:46AM

Double checked just there to make sure I wasn't seeing things, but theres 21 cm on the ground in newbridge, right in the middle of a massive snow shower atm so expect that to go even higher, red warning now issued too

I am just up the road from you. I don't think anybody called this amount of snow this early in the event.

Now if only the wind would feck off so I can send up the drone at sunrise I would be a really happy camper

Sono · 28-02-2018 06:49AM

2 best words anyone can read when they wake up

RED ALERT!!
