You guys on the southside have no idea what you're missing.

Blizzard conditions, snow piling up. Visibility a real issue here with the drifting.

We do know what we're missing and it's why we're sad there's 10cm on the ground here it's good but northsiders must have twice that..and spectacular blizzards to watch too

Agree. Also just because they're cold doesn't mean they necessarily get big snowfall. I believe Moscow had their biggest 1 day snowfall ever recorded a few weeks back. 8 inches. Could be wrong but wasn't a mammoth total like you'd expect for their.

Wow, didn't realise that, interesting if that's the case. Would have just assumed that that kind of snowfall would be regular enough for them.

what, what....don't leave us hanging...

Rte news right now is like a trailer for The Day After Tomorrow !! :rolleyes:

Still feeling underwhelmed here on the Tipp/Kilkenny border. It's making attempts at falling, but it's just too light. Wind has picked up though. We have less ground coverage than we had first thing this morning, and even that wasn't impressive

I missed 2010 because I was in the Middle East, and I wasn't born in 1982. This still is nowhere near the most impressive snow fall I've seen. I had such high expectations too And to top it all off I tried to make a snowman this morning, but the snow that has landed is too fine. I did manage to get a loaf of bread though!

Nothing in Kilpedder, North Wicklow since 4pm. Only a light dusting on the ground from earlier falls this morning - verrry jealous of other parts at the moment.

Temp currently -2c

Lampost watching while listening to Christmas FM online and hoping for some seasonal cheer later tonight

Any reports from along the south coast? Looks like there could a fair depth before the storm even starts.

At least 8cm snow depth in places currently in Southside of Cork

Cork Snow shield still hanging around with vengeance throughout last night and today - while the rest of the county have been put under 5in of snow us poor folk up in North Cork have got basically nothing yet here's hoping tomorrow we will finally see something substantial.

Thats the Galtee effect - Ye're being ham'mered by them

Streamers forming around that part of Wales jutting out that was causing us misery, looks like South Dublin could be in luck finally in the next ~2 hours!
