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

    Insane, Curerntly in Clonskeagh and its fine snow grains with temp dropping, -0.5c. Its actually accumulating on recently cleared surfaces too.

    Best weather forecast I’ve ever heard.

    Now all I want is its summer equivalent around the end of May and to last 3/4 months. I don't think I'm the demanding type...............

    i feel like I'm reading reports from a different country for the last 2 days. I'm in Ashford in wicklow and have had nothing. School closed for 2 days, no snow, road clear, just a chilly breeze. It's hard not to feel a bit pissed off. Not sure if there is some sort of micro climate/welsh shadow at play. Now the red alert has been extended, is it just me or are these blanket alerts unsustainable? God be with the days you good make a call yourself! To those who have snow enjoy.....I'm not jealous......honest, I'lll probably wake up to a foot tomorrow which will quickly turn to slush before the kids can get out and enjoy it, hope I'm wrong.

    not sure what is falling out of the sky here, looks like freezing drizzle.

    Yes it's very "rainy" - snoiceizly even. Not what I was expecting. I've had constant snow for the last 24 hours. While wind has picked up a bit, i've had horizontal or vertical or weird snow since yesterday. I don't see any difference since 4pm except snow flake levels greatly reduced and this slush stuff falling instead- Slush-puppie rain/snow

    Feckin hell, i just opened the front door to have a nosey out, there was easily 150mm of snow that accumulated against the door - which subsequently collapsed and fell inwards towards me, and made it quite difficult to get the door to lock again (the snow was interfering with the locking mechanism)

    Seems to have melted now (the snow that was jammed in the door and door frame) allowing me to get the handle back into locking position.

    What's it going to be like in the morning lol

    Jaysus just saw footage of that tidal surge flooding the DART tracks, crazy stuff, shows how mad this even is that something like that can just pass you by.

    Met eireann have firmly nailed their colours to the mast on the 6.01 forecast. Words like record breaking snow event were used. Obviously not the whole country but there was no uncertainty in the expected severity of the weather where it hits hardest

    Allergan going for a third Botox plant, so don't want to be seen as closing and production being affected for the second time in months. We're being told to go in tomorrow, so hoping Westport gets off lightly for all the staff who are on the move in the morning.

    Surely these reports of rain must be freezing rain and will turn to snow?

    A mod saying all their snow in Dublin would be washed away by the morning!

    Temp below freezing here again, dew points rising a bit too fast for comfort but still on the right side of marginal. Looks like there is some mixing in the air, i'm quite hopeful,
    for the first time all day snow amounts rising on the ground again here.

    there are a good few rain reports so im not sure. I just took a look outside and it's like freezing drizzle, doesn't really look like proper snow that's falling.

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


    That's what I experienced anyway.

    I'm off the same road too and stuck my arm out - very fine ice/snow, windscreens of cars are dusted again.

    Just made a snowball from the stuff on the window ledge and it sticks together much better than the stuff we’ve been getting thus far. I presume that’s from the extra moisture in storm Emma. I’m in the d16 area.

    Help needed, how do I keep my sensor light on. Have tried hanging things out of it but they keep blowing away. I'm wearing away the floor walking to the switch to flick it on:D

    Popped the head out and it's fine grains of snow but lots of it. It's changed from the 'dry' powder we had previously. It's more like our traditional 'wet' snow. First time in a long while that we had sideways snow in Wexford.

    Had the same. Just take a brush and clean the door frame and the door and also the door itself from below. There could be a build-up of snow you can't see that's blocking the door from closing.

    You can still make a call yourself, you have just been informed that it could be very dangerous to carry on as usual.
