    Pretty much no snowfall of any consequence last night in Leopardstown. Place looks almost the same as it did this time yesterday.

    Snowing a bit now.

    MÉ removed the words severe thunderstorms. It's now a risk of thunderstorms with hail in Munster and south Leinster. They say snow may turn to rain for a time on the south coast.

    Front of the house faces East, which means I look out on the back garden to a serene view with gentle snowfall. Out the front might as well be arctic tundra with howling wind, snowing upwards at times.

    Gentle but consistent snowfall here in D16 since about 9am. Probably added another half cm onto the 2-3 that came overnight.

    I felt sorry for a juvenile blackbird poking at the snow-covered grass yesterday so threw a boatload of seeds and nuts out the back door.

    This morning I see him jealously guarding his stash from a wiley thrush who keeps sneaking in behind his back and swiping stuff. Both birds look pretty fat though to be fair.

    Seriously, invaluable contributor. Anytime there is a big weather event my first port of call is the weather forum here to see what MTC is saying.

    Absolutely! I'm so grateful to MTC and to all the posters who have kept us updated.

    Thanks so much, each and every one of you, for sharing your expertise.

    Its mad it looks like North Donegal and Inishowen are getting it quite bad now, I'm a little south of Letterkenny and there is nothing here really at all.


    It is mad and Derry’s roads are clear too, only a dusting up there. It’s apocoplytic here already in Irish weather terms and as a major snow lover I’m actually kind of afraid of what Emma will bring on top of this.

    None in Malahide either. The streamers are just very hit and miss, to be expected unfortunately.

    Just imagine. If the gulf stream stopped, this would be our normal weather.

    So more or less what theyve always said..
    Snow will be there in the evening. And then it becomes just bad weather. With probably more snow.

    Can any of regular knowledgable weather contributors give any idea on when conditions are set to improve in the west cork area, it's starting to get frightening here with the amount of snow falling, have two young kids who are sick, no way of even getting anywhere if needed, totally snowed in, any timeline for this to end and a thaw to happen? Any information would be greatly appreciated,

    Progress on the snowbox thus far in SE Meath today compared with weds. Snow depth was hampered by some IOM shadow effect yesterday and a slight thaw but this morning has been pretty constant snow showers.

    Great info. By all great work.
    Just wondering what time is the storm to hit the Midlands . 4 for the south so how long does it take to travel north?

    This would kick off sometime in Late Oct/Early November and not properly go away until April. We'd really only have two seasons "cold and hot". It'd be pretty mad Ted.

    Looks like it’s been snowing most of the night in clonsilla. About ten inches lying on bins etc. Bit more on the ground as a lot is being blown off the bins etc. It’s drifted to about 30 inches at our back door as the wind blows into a corner there. I had to hop out a side window to pick up a large potted tree that blew over in th wind. My spring flowers have taken a pasting.

    Judging by Dublin, I would say between 6pm onwards

    Hardly any snow in Greystones, delighted, hopefully miss it all again today, although it was just on the radio that there could be more rain than snow later so who know's!

    A crazy amount of snow has fallen here around Kinsale. Reports of power outages in Ballinaspittle and Dunderrow. I dont know how widespread power outages are.
