Maybe you’re not in the Dublin area but so far in Dublin, the amounts aren’t anywhere close to 2010 levels. And the 2010 spell was long-lasting with beautiful, cold, calm, sunny days between snowfalls to admire the countryside. This event is fun but falls short of 2010 in so many ways.

However many areas of the country have zero snow lying on the ground with none in the forecast for today yet all schools and most shops are closed for zero reason. Wait until there really is a red in them areas next time. Complete joke simple as that.

I can say in dublin 5 this is worse, we have had nearly non stop snow for 2-3 days. However my folks live on the south side and where they are has plenty of snow but not as much as 2010. All depends on location for showers, we have been fortunate in dublin 5 that we seem to be getting non stop showers / Irish Sea streamers

Are you not all too busy hanging out the washing and getting the barbeque lit? We've had nearly a week of it! 4 hours of non-stop snow now in South Kilkenny, we live on a very busy main road and it is so quiet and looks very messy. The dogs are thoroughly enjoying it all. My husband was out chopping wood earlier so we're well stocked up for today and tomorrow.
