    No but I thought they could clear the tracks and have it open by around 4

    Well the red warning is in place till 3, clear the tracks, drivers get to work etc, it'll be at least 6 or 7 at the very earliest that they'd be back in service which is relatively pointless especially when you consider it's most likely to either be extended or at best downgraded to an orange warning.

    Few photos from around Fairyhouse racecourse.

    Are you allowed to go in and walk around the course?

    All the experts have gone very quiet in here - what are the models showing this evening? Taking a bit longer than I thought to arrive on Corks shores, even though I knew it wasn’t going to start bang on at 4pm lol

    That's a bit of an insult to them.

    In Kildare. Snow has not stopped all day. Coming from the east.

    Looking south now I can see very dark clouds. Sky looks quite sinister.

    This weather event has ticked all the boxes for me so far except one. Just need some thunder snow now for the icing on the cake.

    close to 6 inches of snow here now in Dunshaughlin, snow almost double the depth it was last night.

    Gonzo I remember you saying dunshaughlin was snow deprived in recent years but this seems to have been a much improved winter your way. Worth the wait is the sneachta!

    They’re still in the tech thread. Why on earth would they want to keep posting in here with the constant Me Me Me moaning? They’ve been providing brilliant updates for the whole week, only for some in here to write off everything with “well its not a blizzard outside my house, so therefore its no storm and a red alert is overkill, and why cant the Luas be running already”.

    Evelyn cusack must be sick of being on TV. So it's not even here yet ? So why was the 4PM deadline put into place then ? That's what I think people are wondering and pissed off at.

    There's a public right of way down to the course. The drifting snow in the second photo is on that lane. By the time I made my way back (around 45 minutes later) it was another foot higher. Unfortunately my phone had died.

    Weather forecaster on RTE Six One just said that there’s a good chance that we’ll see up to one meter of snow, in Dublin, Wicklow, Meath, Kildare.

    She also said that there will be atleast 24 hours of constitent snow, with gale winds causing blizzards for the most part.

    Yeah I can see why they aren’t posting alright,no need to get narky, was only asking a question. I completely respect them and never said they weren’t “providing brilliant updates”, which is why I was missing their posts from this thread also. People just let go at me then for no reason - Jesus, relax.

    D24 and 100 asl and snow is now falling moderate and temperature is falling steadily, a good cm has fallen in the last hour, can't imagine the night ahead. Watching the news and huge snow depths for Wicklow now include South Dublin and a warning for flooding in the next couple of days

    Was speaking to some Dutch tourists and they could not believe the hysteria and panic over the snow. Packed shops buying vodka and month supply’s of bread.

    the fuss isn't actually about the weather, we've all seen far worse, it's about the fear of those now with probably liability getting sued because of the wording of newish alert system

    Ah now stop, I just look for certain posters is all, some I am more used to than others

    I'm just nowcasting it. There is no point in arguing about it when there is so much uncertainty. Better to weather it out and let it do its thing.
