Joe Duffy said earlier that most kids under 8 in ireland never experienced snow before.
After a minute he had to change that to Dublin but we all know what he meant.

I think people are wildly exaggerating the snow and temperatures rte is saying cold weather -1,-2 ish for Dublin I’m not expecting much other than a bit of sleet and snow .

Remind me never to take investment advice from this poster!

I don't live in Howth, just noticed it was being hammered is all

Well aware that the other counties exist. If you go back a page or so you'll see my recent PSA about Bantry but you probably didn't bother to do that.

It's been snowing in Cork city for 30 mins or so in contrast to yesterday merely 2mins.snow billowing lot slower now in southerly direction. Now its building up on footpaths and tops of all cars..beautiful snow day as it's darkening here bit by bit.

In fairness, it's Joe Duffy, what do you expect? That said, if Thursday/Friday estimates come off, it'd be fair to say most people under 30 won't have seen that amount of snow.

Mobhi1 · 28-02-2018 05:35PM

Heavy snow now. -0.9C/-5.9C. The temperature dropped after the snow started falling.

I not only don't care about other counties, I couldn't give a damn if it snows in North Dublin

Decent aul dumping inbound to South Dublin, everything south of the liffey, probably land around 16:30. Heaviest in the CC and out then towards Ballyfermot, Clondalkin, etc., but with snow across the entire South of the county.

That said, the radar says it should have snowed in D 16 in the last 15 minutes, but it didn't.

You are spot on snowing now in sandyford and Dundrum

Joe Duffy is a fool. It snows in Dublin every winter more in dome places than others but always a few coverings in West Dublin....always.

Just drove home from work in Cork city. Was snowing pretty heavily when driving home! Office closed tomorrow. Yay!

Edit: Just got message saying we are also closed on Friday. Happy out.

JCX BXC · 28-02-2018 05:37PM

Nice snow shower in West Clare, left around 2cm, dropped the temperature to -2.5c (from +0.6c)

2013Lara · 28-02-2018 05:37PM

Meant to be decent snow over wicklow now and nothing. Second time today the radar is off for wicklow.

George Sunsnow · 28-02-2018 05:37PM

Regarding the Arklow shield

There’s Klingons on the starboard bound
DONT scrape them off Jim

View of driveway from living room window right now. It really is bucketing it down here near Kinsale. Measuring tape says 7 inches of snow has accumulated.

Not quite spot on, we're north of the Liffey (Cabra) and getting a great dumping of snow.

Sierra Oscar · 28-02-2018 05:38PM

Fairly heavy snow shower now in D7.

Hooks Golf Handicap · 28-02-2018 05:39PM

Just drove the M7/M9 from Naas to Carlow.
2 Lanes open the whole way, salt doing its job, good work by the councils.

This uncertainty for tomorrow is a joke.
Your employer will want you to attend yet the head of the emergency committee says "it's suicidal to be outside after 4pm tomorrow".
So there will be no public transport to bring people home, it's a joke.
As nobody will make a decision then we better hope for another dumping tonight so the early morning commute is ruled out.

piplip87 · 28-02-2018 05:39PM

Some amount dumped in Virginia over the past hour. Wind picked up. Snow that podwery it'd being blown around.

Blizzard in Dublin 15..?? Just adding to the 15 cm of lying snow.

Sparks43 · 28-02-2018 05:40PM

Big load about to drop d5 area. I'm on bus back into town with two big tubs of coddle.

Rest of the family can starve it's all for me

thomil · 28-02-2018 05:40PM

Pretty good snow coming down here in Ballincollig now. Seemed to ease off for a bit, but it's really gone back to full throttle. Temperature is -0.7, dew point -3, pressure 1008.8mb and falling. (I love my weather station

)

Absolutely pelting it down on Carrigaline Cork for the last 40 mins. This time its dry small white pellets.

Build up on ground is fast on top of what was there already. Beginning to get drifts in the back garden

Trebor176 · 28-02-2018 05:42PM

Snowing again in Clondalkin.

Yes, in places it is way more than 7 inches. I’m trying to be accurate by taking the measurement on even terrains like the top of the car!

anyone think relying on the dart tonight is risky?
