East Cork has a good few cm's on the ground and still falling, yet no warning for here ?? Roads are lethal.

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

A drone shot of this would be amazing, lets hope it clears up a bit by then

I’m in Gorey, Wexford. Nothing worth talking about here. A very light dusting at best in town.
I’m due to travel from here to Greystones for work in an hour, is there any reports of snow fall amounts in Greystones?
My work is all outside to

This is ridiculous. Why didn't anybody warn us that there would be this amount of snow?? I know in work people said it was going to snow but I thought they were messing!!!!! Surely Facechat or Snapbook should have told people???? #cantcope

Very little in Newtownmountkennedy anyway, maybe less than 2cm. Not sure where the heavy stuff starts.

SlipperyPeople · 28-02-2018 07:00AM

Snow day!

In bray we’re covered in it

Hopefully someone from MET updates the RED warning to include more counties after last nights heavy snowfall. I suspect there will be many waking up this am scratching their heads when they see the Orange warning and proceed outside to be met with 10cm or more of snow.

Cork Lass · 28-02-2018 07:02AM

Lots of snow on the ground in Waterford ⛄️ ❄️

Stick your head out the window and can you feel the snow going over your head? I'm sure my joke is in there aswell :pac:

Rock Lesnar · 28-02-2018 07:02AM

At least 15cms possibly more here in meath and its still lashing down

I'm not too far from you (Kilteel area) and I would guess we have about 200mm easily.

It's too early to start getting dressed and head out (don't want to waken the kids etc) and actively measure it, but I'd be confident enough with that guess - and it's still coming down.

Will get the drone airborne later.for some epic.footage.
