The fine particles that have been falling this evening are not sleet, rain or freezing rain, they're snow grains. They feel like liquid because they're so small that they melt instantly on your face, making the same effect as liquid drops. Nowhere has had rain or sleet this evening.

Perfect interpretation—- as per usual ðŸ˜˜

Was a bit shaky here in Dublin 16 for a bit with some sleety/ice pellety stuff. Back on full/heavy fine snow now. -0.8c atm.

I'm in D16 too, but getting tired of going up and down to the Window! Thanks for saving me the trips so far!

Radar says it's about to get worse (or better) for you:

Just when I was ready to turn in for the night, not a chance I can sleep now I've looked out the window more in the last 24 hours than I have at a tv in about a year!

Hoping for the dramatics(easy know I can work from home tomorrow)

Latest snow depth charts still saying dublin will have huge totals but still just ice pellets here. How could this possibly come anywhere close to a metre even if these ice pellets keep coming down until 6pm tomorrow it'll only be 3 or 4 inches Id say

There have been a number of explanations in the past few pages about how the 'ice pellets' come first followed by the actual (wet) snow in the next wave. I think you should just be patient. You will have significant snow.

I'm not complaining about warning levels or anything like that. Simply frustrated at literally zero accumulation in my corner of Bray after 3 hours of this on top of frustration at that damn easterly wind shift meaning we only got 5cm on Tuesday night and nothing at all on Wednesday.

I genuinely am going to take a xanax now LOL

Give it a while. Look at the radar it's coming

Maybe it's like before heavy rainfall there is drizzle?

Yeah, no fall of snow for quite a while.

I'm in Waterford city and it's been snowing for hours, it's just very very fine so hard to see from a distance. Definitely there though.

Snow increasing with intensity now in Dublin 1

It won't touch us until early morn

Went for a few pints in the local village (rural North Cork) at 7.30 this evening, very light snow falling when we went into the pub, came out at 9.30 and the whole village was covered in snow

Go outside. If it was rain it would melt any snow.

mitresize5 · 01-03-2018 11:58PM

Jesus we get it. It’s just rain/snow grains/ice pellets and your right it’s going to miss you all or it’s over hyped.

Just go to bed already and check again in the morning!!

bozharry1 · 01-03-2018 11:58PM

Is the storm still a good bit off landfall. I'm in Portlaoise and it's gone very calm again with no snow.Any idea when Midlands will get lashed out of it?

It's exactly what it's like for me here, too, but there's been a steady - but minimal - accumulation of snow on ground and cars. Getting heavier too (south Dublin)

piplip87 · 01-03-2018 11:58PM

My girlfriend annoyed because of my cover of Purple Rain..... Yellow snow yellow snow I only want to see eat my yellow snow yellow snow

DellyBelly · 01-03-2018 11:59PM

Started here again just now. Fairly heavy as well

Rock Lesnar · 01-03-2018 11:59PM

Understand your frustration but places in Offaly and Longford seem to have been plastered. Very strange weather system.

We have about 12 inches of snow here. It was suggested on the technical thread on boatds.ie and happened. But then the 4om watershed of utter catasprophe didn't quite happen

sicknotexi · 01-03-2018 11:59PM

I underestimated my thirst. Could do with another few cans.
