      Never mind the apocalyptic snow the main surprise of this cold spell for me has been learning how people on the east coast pronounce 'Briquettes'..

      Looks like we can expect a huge baby boom in Leinster and Munster in early December.

      I measured about 14cm here in dublin 5. Not much of a thaw really. Will be interesting to see what this big snow event tomorrow produces

      After a heavy dumping all day, it looks like that’s that for the south-east today based on the radar?

      I had around 15cm in Dublin 5 on the grass.

      That's what she said!

      Anyway, big thaw. Driveway clearing. Car now no longer has snow on it. Feck off sun, just until Sunday! Then I want scorching temps! Haha

      Any expert opinion on conditions early tomorrow morning after what's predicted tonight? Have a 7am flight from DUB airport and trying to assess if tomorrow will be worse than today (tonnes of flights cancelled today).
      Thanks

      Thank you very much but if I want to go out after 4pm tomorrow, I will and what's more I'll take responsibility for myself unlike a lot of 'snowflakers' we've bred in this country in recent years.

      Well that clearly went over your head. No one is stopping you jaysis

      Should be a good bit of moisture coming off Anglesea shortly, enough to get showers going for Dublin despite the short fetch.

      We live in wicklow foothills. Couldn't get cars out of driveway which is on a fun gradient. But himself walked to mainn road and got a lift into work which was 6 kms away. I got picked up, will have a 4 x 4 on way home. We'd some important stuff to sort - won't stay late.

      Once I got down to a lower level though its a different world.

      I 'd certainly take any warnings very seriously for tomorrow and am far from a snowflake but I'm not going to endanger my own life or property. Dads cancelled his operation for tomorrow. Hospital were fine. Think my work is going to call it and close. Hope himself workplace do likewise.

      Isn't that afternoon though? I'm guessing if there isn't much snowfall tonight then the airport should be ok for a few hours early in the morning.

      Then it will blow your mind that there are townlands beside each other in Meath called Muff and Knobber.

      Not often you wake up to a few inches in Muff.

      Ahem.

      Very strange day here. Left for work at 6.30am (From west of Macroom). Little Island got quite bad so I was advised to go home. Sun blazing here, -1, no sign whatsoever of snow falling (200m ASL). Wonder what to do tomorrow morning now. Feel a bit silly for coming home today.
