    what area constitutes 'south dublin'?

    With as localised as some of this seems to be, it helps to be specific alright. I'm in Sandymount and have had micro-snow showers for the past couple of hours

    Some of us will wake up to the snow half way up the front and back doors. Last time in 2010 the front sliding door was frozen solid. Hairdryer on an extension lead sorted that one out after much scratching of heads trying to figure out what to do!

    I can try the same if it happens this time, but I can also get out the back door and through a gate into the laneway. No wait..... both the back door and the patio doors open OUT :eek:

    OMG. There may be trouble ahead....

    Theresa Mannion report incoming... "Woman opens frozen door with hairdryer". LOLz.

    Copious is such a great word to hear on a snow forecast ! This could be an epic night for some places. Radars are showing heavier precipitation coming across the Irish Sea now, still possibly a few hours away - will it be rain,ice pellets, snizzle, graupel, freezing rain or the proper sneachta. I think the latter!!!

    I can't believe up to a metre of snow in Dublin. I can't even contemplate that. It seems too far fetched for me to even think about that rationally. Some people are going to wake up to a big surprise in the morning as imagine most people won't really digest what 1 meter of snow means. I'm in Cork and 6 inches even seems far fetched to me.

    I’m lost Munster is 6pm

    In order, Red warning ends in Connacht Ulster at 6am Friday, ends for Leinster Munster at 6pm

    Its true that the weather is moving towards Connacht Ulster, but the warning is longer in Leinster Munster because of the two days of snowfall and ice already present before Emma arrived. It will be a briefer event and a quicker recovery for Connacht Ulster, albeit no joke in itself.

    Very fine snow now, makes visibility look a bit poorer like it's misty in the distance. Finally got a few mm of dusting back again though to make up for how poor the day was today with 0 accumulation and losing basically all the snow we had gained. At the border of Tipp to Limerick.

    Still the very fine snow here in Courtown, wind is still as strong but feels quite fresh when out of the direct wind.

    Much milder here in Portmarnock +2C , very windy with powdery snow/sleet, certainly no accumulation of snow given the high temperature. There would have to be a dramatic shift at this stage to turn it into a metre of snow.

    2C ? is this your car thermo or what?

    I’m in Sandyford D18 and the accumulation is amazing here. Snow up to the door and fairytale snow on the base of the windows. Howling a gale and snow constantly falling

    Dublin 16, still ridiculous amounts of this micro hail stuff. Accumulated about 2-3cm since 6pm, but a few high drifts in places, 30cm+

    I still don't understand how people are getting accumulations of this ice grain sh*te. Nearly 3 hours of it blizzarding down here near Bray Seafront and the roads are only dusted. ie. literally zero accumulation. At this rate I'll have about 5cm of it in 24 hours.

    Quick walk around outside. (North Dublin) a bit of a dusting over last few hours. But still nothing out of this world. Cars still moving about freely enough on roads which were well used earlier. Will not go out if any threat of lightning later mind you.
