What a crazy day!

Drove Dub - Naas and back today taking it handy was fine. Won't do same tomorrow due to visibility issues!

Lamp post watching in Tallaght now and best way to describe it is the snow dancing! Few mins of standard snow falling then few mins of driving snow!

The roads near us have been treated quite well... neighbours all got cars manouvered today so we are all ok and own cars safe from any strays that may come onto the road.

Hope everyone enjoys the rest!

BIG flakes now in whiteout conditions. D5. Excellent night. Would you believe, I actually missed out on the 2nd cold spell of 2010 because I was on holidays! I swear, I left literally the day when it got bad! The November 2010 thundersnow is unforgettable. My brother and I woke up in shock because of the lightning. Would love a recreation of this later tonight (asking for too much, because tonight and last night alone are memorable!). Tyre tracks being covered up instantly here.

EDIT: WTF, big gust of wind here sent the snow flying up from the ground!!

Everything bathed in an orange glow here in Finglas, with beautiful snow making it all blurry. I love snow.

Can anybody update what the roads are like if the snow is sticking to it? Or is it too much of a slushy wet mess to stick?

Lamp post watching is well and truly over for me - all the windows are frozen and covered in snow. Heavy falls last night, this morning and non stop for the last 4 hours - can’t imagine what tomorrow will bring!! - Tullamore

I'm seeing the comparisons to 2010. For my area specifically, it's nothing compared to 2010. 2010 had far more impressive snow here than today. Nevertheless, it has been beautiful! I cannot complain.

Not in terms of snow depth -yet(tomorrow and Friday may well change that), but the cold is very impressive. i am convinced if we had this a month ago we would have broken the all time cold temperature recorded during winter. As it is todays temperature in Valentia must be one of the lowest every recorded for the time of year there.
