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

You've been unlucky so. It's been snowing on and off non-stop in Monkstown and Dun Laoghaire since 10pm Tuesday I'd say.

The red alert is for weather conditions, just because its lifted doesn't suddenly mean roads are safe to drive on

According to my fellas employer in galway it is, usual start time is 7am but it's been extended to 9am. He's a product builder in a factory, not exactly a paramedic or nurse

Insane blizzard here near Arklow continuing,the drifting is something else
Looking at the ditches from upstairs in the house I’d estimate 3 or 4 ft deep there and it’s only 11pm

Wind gusting over 50kmh NE
Air temp -0.4c
Dp -0.7c
Wet bulb -0.5c

Snow swirling up in air like a funnel

Mad. 15 miles away in Wicklow just a cm of frozen stuff blowing around. ??????

Have we missed it here in Waterford City, no Blizzard, no heavy snow since this morning, about 2" maximum??????

Don't know about Waterford but things are ramping up in Tramore at the moment. Finding it hard to see beyond 15m at the moment.

Continuous snowfall now for a few hours in North Cork, whiteout coming our way the likes that haven’t been seen in generations

Just getting ready for bed and noticed the pipes have frozen in the apartment

Assuming temp won't go up enough until at least Saturday for them to thaw?

In D15

Get a hairdryer at them. When thawed wrap them in anything to insulate them for the time being until you can get to a hardware store and get proper pipe lagging.

Getting that light snow that you can barely see but when you go outside you would be surprised how quickly that dust accumulates.

Yup. I cannot understand how nearly microscopic bits of wet ice are accumulating but..in D14 my garden was nearly bare at 6pm because my sister made a big snow man (we have a tiny garden)...2-3 inches throughout the garden now

Yep proper snow again now...

Conditions gone extremely bad in Naas now

Just been out for a drive east Galway Craughwell to Loughrea. Very rough low visablity at times and light blowing snow with drifts. Had to plough through a few.
Amazing stuff. In total we got about 6cm today but some went by evening. Slowly building up again.
Amazing the way the drifts build up in gateways etc.
