    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.

    Absolute BLIZZARD in Dublin 15 (Blanch/C/knock) ..........15 cm
    yesterday and earlier ..add another 5 cm..............20 cm and still bucketing down!!!

    Thank you. I'm not looking forward to tomorrow evening/Friday. Sheds open to the east with cattle and sheep in them. My fear is that they will fill with snow in the blizzard. Sheep are on the point of lambing too.

    Don't sheep in Scotland and Norway and Canada endure snow during lambing season all the time. I would imagine they are hardier than you give them credit for.

    The mother in law is staying with us for the week. It has started bucketing it down in the last hour and we can't get her away from the window. I suppose we'll have to let her in.

    I knew we had a fairly steady drip from the overflow pipe, wasn't expecting this though:

    great snow across D5/D3 -

    big flakes filling all the removed snow today -
    Ground level at highest level yet.

    I think travel tomorrow morning could be worse than expected - as there is a great base for this stuff coming down.

    Looks way more than predicted precipitation

    Long, heavy shower in Clonmel over the past hour. Wasn't sticking during the day, but there's about 1-2 cm on the ground now. Wasn't really expecting anything significant here before tomorrow, so nice surprise.

    Same here in Blessington Catrat, I think when the wind veers more ene then we get it. Should have more by morning and then all out blizzard tomorrow night.

    How the hell did it get all the way here without anyone else in the South reporting?
    they've all moved into one of their spare buy to let propertties on the northside for the blizzard and are just getting over the trauma of crossing the liffey.:D

    similar here since this morning, on and off snizzle showers all day not really amounting to anything.

    Hopefully Emma will really deliver tomorrow!

    Not a snowflake where I'm living but temps are seriously bitter cold
    Kids are disappointed but I'm not. If I can get one last chore done in the morning I'd be delighted but not the end off the world if I can't.

    RE: Road Conditions
    Here in Dublin 5, the general snow level is almost up to the level of the kerb, with drifting too. I'd say there's around 20cm on the grass.
