    Why do people want huge amounts of snow?

    People like a break from the mundane even if theoretically it could be bad news for them. That and we are all big kids really.

    Had to go out to the shed and I reckon with the cumulative snowfall and a bit of drifting, it's 30cm deep out in the garden. It's much deeper up against the west wall of the garden though where the wind has been causing the snow to drift all day. I reckon it's easily 60cm deep there!!

    Restore time for all the ESB outages is 8pm tomorrow. They've obviously told crews not to go out in red warning.

    Here in North Clare it's been snowing here most of the day,blowing hard though.
    There should be a lot of drifts tomorrow,its powdery and you can see it blowing like dust earlier.

    I think there's some sort of flow of streamers going towards south Galway north Clare all day,from the east coast....

    About 12 inches lying in most places here in outside Dunleer in Co. Louth. With a lot of drifts up to 2-3ft. Never seen snow like it here, and it's still coming down very heavy. Close to a blizzard as well with the wind getting very strong in the last two hours.

    It appears to be doing something in n Tipp, but it's actually doing very little. The air is full of snow dust but it's so insubstantial it is having virtually no impact in terms of accumulation, so much so I wonder if most of the stuff in the air isn't actually fresh and is just stuff being blown about. I had a bare patch of paving this afternoon and it has still only the barest wisp of snow dust 6 hours later. Has Emma stopped to pay a visit to the little storms room or something?

    Thank you!

    I do apologies if it’s not rain but it does look like rain on the window. Its more frustration cause there’s no build up of snow thanks to these ice pellets.

    I'm in Dublin 5. Not too far away. I'm no expert but the good stuff looks like it's an hour away. Over the Irish see at the moment & it's stretching to southern England.

    I'd imagine I'll be in bed when the real fun starts but it'll still be snowing by the time I get up in the morning.

    One thing is - with this wind, if the flakes get bigger the accumulations will be huge.

    Is Waterford still on for getting more snow? Since 5pm anything I've seen looks considerably more like sleet than what we had previous :(

    Really? A big section of houses have lost power?

    I wish people would stop calling them trolls. They are simply misinterpreting the precipitations fine nature, the water running down their windows and little to no accumulation as rain like literally 50 or 60 people before them.

    I'm frankly fuming that after 3 hours of this ice pellet sh*te there is only a dusting on the road. I'll be lucky to have 4 or 5 cm in 24 hours if this ice pellet crap is all we get.

    But ...it is covering and imo it’s a good base layer for what’s to come it’s sticking to everything—- I did try and find the type of specific snow but I couldn’t https://nsidc.org/cryosphere/snow/science/types.html

    I’m stumped I’ve droplets on my lamppost watching window. All the tracks from earlier are covered- dark fleece test - well it melts so damn fast

    Where in D18? We just have light wind and what is DEFINITELY rain in Ballybrack.
    Slush, slush and more slush on the roads.
    Think its a non event here anyway.

    Just up by Cabinteely park, the grains in the wind here are not rain, it does melt on windows because of the warmth escaping! I have my drink out in a black bag in the garden to keep cool and every time I go out there is a fresh layer of snow on it so I can be 100% sure it's not rain here!

    Will they be treating roads tomorrow morning? Have to drive from Dublin to Wexford tomorrow!

    Up to 2 foot of snow forecast for the region,I don't think you'll be getting to Wexford. Keep an eye on the local authorities social media reports.
