    Moderate snow, big flakes. A person on my road was shoveling but he gave up when the snow intensified.

    things looking better for me now with that IOM shadow shifting north a bit!

    haven't seen any proper snow flakes here yet today, just lots of graupel and some thunder.

    We've had precip all morning maybe 15km further southeast and it's been mostly graupel. Then again you are much further inland.

    Dublin 15...Blanchardstown/Castleknock......a lot more now. About 15 cm so far and more on the way.

    How do you measure snow, just stick a measuring tape in? I'm in Ashtown and it looks the same as you have but it's about 6-7 cm max. Do you have make an allowance because it compacts or something?

    Ppn at its extreme southern limit here on the Dublin streamer, so a few pepperings of graupel every now and again with the sun popping out between cumulus clouds. Might be just far north to steal another shower or two in the next few hours. Forecasts spot on (also MT) with streamers north of bray.

    Struggling to keep up with all the posts but I haven't seen much reports from the north midlands. I'm in northeast Offaly and it is incessant here. Reckon 8-9 inches lying snow and continuing to fall.

    Hard to believe how localised the heavier stuff is.

    I have access to data from where I work, if you get the Weather Underground App you can link it to to some personal stations around Castlebar as well and see there readings in real time.

    Further north in Dublin are starting to do very well.

    Clear shift in the wind again with the streamers beginning to move more East to West now. The m50 a mile to my North is the lowest limit of those heavy returns - so localised.

    Will be interesting to see the Irish sea in 2 hours with realignment of thw streamers. Those who were in the IOM shadow could start seeing something falling.

    Good for here in Dundalk so. Haven't done too badly up to now. About 4cm or so. An easterly would be even better again though.

    Easterly winds seem to have put paid to any streamers building for Wicklow for the next few hours anyway. Not enough fetch between Wales and Wicklow coast.
