    Wind picking up in Western side of Cork City. A very light drizzle now but still very cold.

    For the excellent knowledgeable posters on here. Given the direction of the storm, will the Wicklow/Dublin mountains act as a shield for the Dublin 16/Rathfarnham area?

    No the wind if north east. You will get the most snow.

    A meter of snow for south county Dublin seems to be on the cards. Going to be a tough night. The flooding from this will be a mess as well.

    It's really picking up here in Southeast Wexford. Heavy snow with some freezing rain, can't call it sleet cause it's more than that. Right now the Red Weather Warning is needed down here you just wouldn't be able to drive in this, or even walk.

    Feckin lock down since 4 in the bloody afternoon in the southwest? Not a drop of snow the past 48 hours, sun splitting the rocks. Elderly people couldn’t access health facilities and banks?

    Sun splitting what rocks. It 7 O Clock in the evening.

    You have 10 posts in the last hour with the same idiotic message kiddo. Change the record.

    The world doesnt begin and end in Limerick. There has been plenty of snow in Cork.

    Until you invent some form of device that can predict weather to pinpoint at small village level, this is how it will be.

    I don't think its fair to call people reporting in rain "trolls" or to tell them they're simply wrong and don't know what they're talking about just because it doesn't fit in with a lot of peoples hope for a complete whiteout.
    I'm hoping for the meter of snow in South Dublin we were just promised on the RTE news too but I'm telling you all we have right now in D18 is wind and RAIN :(

    Same here, D16/Dundrum and rain currently.

    Where in the southwest has the sun been splitting the rocks?

    Limerick. It was a beautiful day today. Splitting the rocks probably an exaggeration, but it was sunny.

    Went quiet there for a while in Dublin 15. Now it's changed. We had bigger flakes of snow earlier. Now it's more light icy stuff. It's still coming from the east.
    It will be interesting to see what Emma will deliver more snow overnight for us.

    We have had a good 24 hours so far, I'm hoping it continues

    For folks who are crying fowl on the weather warnings: Friends in Cornwall have had snow drifts up to their knees and over garden walls in the past hour. Sit tight and be prepared its going to be a long night.

    May have been posted already but George Lee also said that today is the first and only ice day ever recorded in Ireland.

    What's an "ice day"?

    Location stillorgan South Dublin
    Wind has really picked up for over an hour now very gusty whistling wind its been snowing most of the day. I'd be interested to see if any other areas have started to get some serious wind. In tesco today very little bread /eggs/meats left, shops were really packed like Christmas eve packed.

    Bit gusty in Lucan.now ..fence panel down...
