    Do people actually want snow,it seems the majority on here want it so badly,why I don't know,I'm very happy we have feck all snow where i am and I don't bloody want it either

    From my own point of view, my husband and I are off until Monday, the house is stocked and warm, the dogs are cosy and we've an emergency water supply so I'm quite happy for more snow (it has been snowing here in South Kilkenny for nearly 12 hours) and to just sit back and watch it all. Obviously I also empathise with those who don't have the luxury of enjoying this weather.

    Likewise, I stepped out in it & it was very fine snow for me a few minutes ago.

    Hard to understand as light snow is being reported at Dublin Airport at 19.30.
    That's what I experienced anyway.

    Same. That’s the end of the snow in D13. Mostly melted away now.

    Wind turbines working away anyway - providing more than half of the grids requirement at the moment.

    Anyone calling this a non-event and no-snow should be in Navan. I just opened the cat flap (had to close it this morning as the wall around it was covered with snow blown during the night) and got at least three fistfuls of snows blown up my sleeve. It stopped snowing so hard, fortunately, because we are snowed down anyway but the wind is picking up and it wasn't exactly calm and nice during the day. While I am used to snow, this is getting to me, especially as it's bloody March. Where was the white crappy stuff during Christmas when we were sitting at home getting bored out of our minds with the kids crawling up the walls?

    Very fine snow now, north Cork, Kanturk / Newmarket area. Can see why some might think it was rain

    Have a layer of sleet/ice building up on my window. Looks like it's raining outside in greystones but is very fine and quite heavy sleet. White is building up on the roads and in the garden where it was previously melted. Very strange weather either way.

    Sidenote: this gin and tonic is delicious.

    What's the temp in Dublin?
    There's a possibility it could just flip back to snow and leave a layer of rather nasty ice under it.

    Wave after wave of tiny snow grains lashing into the coast here, light/moderate intensity.

    DL harbour 9http://www.dlhweather.com/current-details/) recording gusts at around 50 kts. If this is only the start, can't even imagine what its going to be like later. Worst conditions I've ever experienced here (Dalkey) - very nasty ice + wind combo

    Incredible weather in North Wexford now. The swirls of the snow in the wind are beautiful, but really makes you think about how powerful nature is. Snow building nicely, another 12 hours of this will be huge, and that's from a ground with virtually no snow on it before 5pm today. I can't imagine to think what Dublin will be like with their already accumulated snow in this.

    Defo not powder snow where I am in d14. Blizzard like conditions of sleet for over an hour now

    The local variations are crazy. I know D14 is a big place, but it's still crazy.

    That's puzzling, considering you are fairly high up and a bit away from the coast. Hopefully it will turn back to snow soon

    Still sleet here in SE at 150 AOD. Grand.. snow and ice around here means nothing but hardship :)

    I don't think today should have been 'written off'.. And it wasn't, transport, schools yes for obvious reasons..
    But overall it's been a well thought almost military approach by met eireann.
    And i think they made the right call, the red warning was subtly and calmly put to the nation and heeded by most, and those people who had to where then able to go about and do the necessary things that had to be done.

    Wave after wave of snow grains lashing into the coast here (Dalkey). Light/moderate intensity. Def worst conditions Ive experienced here, the ice-wind combo really takes it out of you. DL harbour gusting 50kts E. And to think that this is only the start.
