Do you not already have plenty of snow? :pac:

Plenty from yesterday ya at least 6 inches on my decking. But when you're waiting for the big storm it can be a bit of a disappointment. It's all relative I spose in fairness

Snow has been falling here since 8am. Snow was still falling between 5pm and 7pm but there was a bit of a thaw on, however, in the past hour or so, anything that thawed has now been replaced by more snow. What's falling now is very fine and the wind blowing is very cold. Things are picking up rather slowly.

Just went to the shop. Normally a 3 or 4 minute walk. Wind is totally squalling and comingl at you in every direction. You can’t keep your eyes open, Way more like millions of tiny bits of ice attacking your face, deffo not graupel. Took about 10 minutes
Felt like tom crean:)

This in d7/Smithfield

Place a flag on your house when you get home:p

it was all supposed to kick-off at 4pm, looking like it will be 10pm before the main event starts, that's quite poor forecasting from the weather authorities.

What about giving people time to get home? Allowing for poor driving conditions? Think please.

cherryghost · 01-03-2018 10:11PM

Anything hitting the ground aint melting anyway, roads are already white. Unfortunately because its moist, my camera has lost focus on the road due to moisture on the window

Indeed they should. My friend is heading to Australia Saturday and he couldn’t get to the bank or the pharmacy today.

Why didn’t he go yesterday? Or Tuesday? Or Monday?....

Pascal talking about people who've decided that because it's not yet snowing they are venturing out to the puib.

Warning started too early. Issued correctly based on guidance, but should have been revised to 6pm or 8pm. No matter that businesses were already closed, it would still provent complacency.

exactly, from the satellite pics this morning it was clear that it would be delayed and this should have been revised via the media to stop people going out this evening thinking it wasn't going to happen

pistolpetes11 · 01-03-2018 10:12PM

its Coming

Skedaddle · 01-03-2018 10:12PM

The YR app was forecasting it to begin at about 8pm onwards in Cork and seems to be relatively close to accurate.

CHealy · 01-03-2018 10:12PM

Really light stuff falling in Turners Cross now, not sure its even sticking. A good few radars are saying we should be getting batrered right now but its certainley not the case where I am.

autumnbelle · 01-03-2018 10:13PM

Lightning now in meath ðŸ˜±

wicklowdub · 01-03-2018 10:13PM

Coastal areas of Wicklow/Wexford look a bit marginal on the latest charts but central locations in those counties will get a hammering by tomorrow

200motels · 01-03-2018 10:13PM

Very fine snow dust here, just looked at Radar and we’re kind of in the middle. I’d say another hour or so and real stuff will start.

d'Oracle · 01-03-2018 10:13PM

Gerry is back!!!

Gerry on RTÉ one

Oscar Bravo · 01-03-2018 10:13PM

hes back, Gerry murphy

on the rte 9 news now

John.Icy · 01-03-2018 10:13PM

Do the people racking up 10s and 10s of posts moaning, complaining, begrudging, belittling and making uneducated and uninformed comments ever just sit back from the screen and think about how their Thursday night is going that they're at this crap. Post the one complaint, log out and give the mods a break. Can't be as many adults in here as you'd imagine.

Still very snowy here in Dublin 9. Hard to tell how it's accumulating however - footprints fill up very quick as the snow has a hollow to latch onto. General layer is much slower going up. Very blowy for level accumulations!

joes girls · 01-03-2018 10:14PM

Oh my god look who's back and he even said the SNOW word

stephenjmcd · 01-03-2018 10:14PM

Ah Gerry we missed you. Any sleet ?

fatherted1969 · 01-03-2018 10:14PM

Reminds me of 1982 snowfalls. Only a young feller but I remember it well. A job had to dig us out after a fortnight when our lane was 4 or 5 feet deep after the dtifts. Never thought I'd see those levels again. Kinda happy my kids will see an event like this

Had to park the car about a mile from the house as I've a 24hr shift starting at 11am. Was a white knuckle drive to work yesterday. Roads around monasterevin were atrocious, fairly clear coming home today. Tough for frontline staff who are taking on these trips to keep services open so fair play to ye all.

How do ye all post pics on this by the way ? I'm on a phone and haven't got a clue

1 Metre of snow on the ground tomorrow- RTE Prediction.

Where?

Haven't a clue.

Thargor · 01-03-2018 10:14PM

Freezing mist blowing at high speeds in Bray, seems to be sticking, roads are buried, no footprints or tracks anywhere.

force eleven · 01-03-2018 10:15PM

Fed up with waiting for this. I'll just have to accept the 25cm lying here. Not happy.

01-03-2018 10:15PM

Gerry! Gerry! Gerry!
