South Wales if I remember correctly.

No snow (worth talking about, just the very odd flurry) in D18 all day, a lot of melt on the roads. Hoping for more later!

Heavy snow shower has started in the last few minutes here in rural Kinsale. Wind has picked up too so looks like a blizzard. We had just over 6 inches of snow last night and this morning (measured with a measuring tape!). There was some thawing during the day but this shower looks like it is going to replace what went missing.

All the talk about red being overstated for Dublin today: To be honest, it should have been red for the South Cork coastline from Roches Point along to Kinsale and on to Clonakilty (and as far inland as Bandon). Roads were (and are) impassable here with many trucks jackknifing and cars being pushed. Problem is Cork is a big county and weather warnings are done county by county. I’d agree with earlier poster who argued that some way of differentiating areas in counties would be helpful. County by county warnings are too blunt but perhaps easy to understand.

Here we go the snow shower has started in cork, should hopefully top up the slightly thawed out snow!

Have you never had a craving for a slice of toast when show falls?

Pipe insulation (that's all some bread is fit for!)

Waterford is basking in warm sun (well if you filter out the wind) and there is a melt on. Showers have become rather fitful and very light.

Never mind bread,milk,taboggans. I need a motion sensor connected to a speaker that shouts "Shut the door". The kids must think they have self closing doors on the house.

NegativeCreep · 28-02-2018 04:35PM

Any more snow expected for Dublin today? I don’t want it to thaw out completely

Try living with cats, can't keep a door shut with the buggers and once a door is shut they want to go upstairs or if in the hall they want to come in. They need a personal butler... what am i saying they already have one

Look at the area towards southeast Wales, that is red.

Yes, it won’t

WhiteMemento9 · 28-02-2018 04:38PM

Taken a bit of time for the showers to build again after the wind shifted direction but activity starting to pep up again out at sea.

Snowbiee21 · 28-02-2018 04:38PM

Should be inbound for north Dublin

I'm starting to think there's some secret meme going around instagram or something and gangs of people are going in and buying €50 worth of bread for the lulz.
Local Supervalu had fully stocked their shelves this morning (they put it on facebook), and the bread aisle was half empty by 11 o clock. What's odd is that there was still plenty of fresh bread.

Still thawing gently here in D16, the mound on the garden table has definitely diminished by a cm or two, but definitely not going anywhere before sunset.

Because in the event the snow doesn't appear, they can crumble all the stale bread, spray it all over the garden build little bread men.

Afterwards, each person can have a nice refreshing gallon of milk to wind down.

Snow looks really ugly now between traffic and footsteps and gritters and being shovelled and slight thaw. needs a big top up!

whippet · 28-02-2018 04:41PM

On the south louth coast and a massive snow shield still in effect ... just dandruff on the ground !!

Told not to come to work in Cork City this evening, or Thursday evening. Sitting here (just outside Mallow) looking at the sun splitting the stones all day. Bored beyond reason and after getting 8 messages from various people stating I must be buried in it.

Is it too early to open a bottle of wine???

Artane2002 · 28-02-2018 04:41PM

Thunder in Dublin 5.

so far its been small enough flakes, hoping they get a bit larger so they will be able to stick better!

I feel so sorry for MT. I'd say his inbox is groaning under the weight of "Is that it for X area???" PMs.
