Snow really accumulating here in rural Kinsale. Just measured 10cm on top of car.

jimmy G M · 28-02-2018 11:35AM

What are the conditions like around Durrow in Co. Laois?

I need to travel there later on this evening for a match.

Are pitches playable there?

TIA

What's the prognosis for the next few hours? Is this the start of the streamers and what intensity are they going to get to? My missus is working Dublin 2 since 5:30am and due to leave at 2pm, but I've been telling her she may need to leave early!

If people don't have their location under their name could you please state where you are in the post thanks

Nearly 7 inches of snow here in west Wicklow. Some more flurries again this morning. It will be interesting to see how much more we get before this is over.

Storm orphelia I could agree with

This no, why shouldn't families be walking around?

I presume some of these people have to drive to get to the shopping centre - not ideal conditions for driving.

A light scattering in North county Galway around 8.30am this morning, snowed for about 30 mins but was very light particles.

Sunny blue skies now, still cold, car says -3.

Reckless Abandonment · 28-02-2018 11:39AM

Definitely more of a change to easterly than a north-easterly happening now , north Kildare/Dublin should do well

Where are you?

I am in the IFSC in Dublin 1, and it has been snowing on and off since 9am. Sometimes it has been moderate, but mainly light.

Kildare/ Wicklow border.

Bad id say, its 6-7 inches deep here in Monasterevin so id imagine Durrow are getting similar.

bozharry1 · 28-02-2018 11:40AM

Don't think you should travel.Pelting down now here in Portlaoise.We got about 13 cm last night alone.

sdanseo · 28-02-2018 11:40AM

Walked to the shop there, even that was a struggle. At least 10-15cm here.

mirrorwall14 · 28-02-2018 11:41AM

Moderate snow with wind in Kilcock now. Its been snowing on and off now for a good hour but this is the heaviest I've seen and the wind really makes it feel worse

Gonzo · 28-02-2018 11:42AM

finally some proper snow here in Dunshaughlin, but we've got off very lightly compared to elsewhere because of the IOM Shadow. About 2 to 3 inches on the ground and light graupel falling.

_Kaiser_ · 28-02-2018 11:42AM

Took this a few mins ago in Laois...

Still coming down heavily too!

pad199207 · 28-02-2018 11:43AM

Getting bad in the Naas Area again now

Periscal · 28-02-2018 11:44AM

According to my estimations most of 23cms(9inches) fell roughly between 11PM and 5:30AM, trip to work took only 15 minutes more then usual which is bizarre, a truly epic 3-4 days ahead in Wicklow hills that can possibly rival most of the records from 20th century as regards to snowfall totals, it is just unreal, I hope you guys get your fair share of snow later too

jdcv94 · 28-02-2018 11:44AM

Still nothing above a dusting in North Wexford, same stuff has been on the ground since 11pm last night. Actually quite pleasant, light snow falling in the sun.

Dcully · 28-02-2018 11:44AM

More on the way for the next few hours.

Dubh Geannain · 28-02-2018 11:45AM

Near Dunshaughlin a few minutes ago. It lasted 15 minutes and ended with heavy hail

Found an old video I'd delisted on youtube from Ratoath in 2010.

Donegal Storm · 28-02-2018 11:48AM

About 11cm on the level here in Maynooth now, drifts upwards of 25cm and still coming down heavy!

Mostly powder and snow grains rather than flakes but still accumulating nicely

rodge123 · 28-02-2018 11:48AM

Bucketing down 10km north of Kilcock, thunder and lightening too...hopefully some thundersnow on the way!

Silent Rain · 28-02-2018 11:48AM

Went from Laos to IFSC this morning to grab a laptop so I can work from home... Just sitting on a train leaving Dublin now... Glad to be on it, I assume even the trains are going to have issues later if it gets much worse even before the main event hits...

sdanseo · 28-02-2018 11:49AM

Lashing graupel here now in Malahide. Heaviest and loudest it's been.

Vxlks · 28-02-2018 11:49AM

Ahead of the storm Emma, is Dublin going to be hit by that too?

There was a brief bit of sun there in Dublin 16 (well I'm almost Dublin 14). Starting to snow lightly again now, and sky looks dark. Went for a walk to Dundrum Shopping centre. The place is deserted, cars skidding all over the place coming up the incline to the carpark. Lots of shops closed, but Tesco is open (with quite a bit of bread!). Got caught in a flurry and blowing snow on the way home. The graupel blowing about would cut the face off you.
