Every time I read another post about accumulations of the heavy 'fine' snow I pop my head out the Velux....

.....nope.......still just a dusting on the roads in my corner of Bray.

This deeper red blob out in the Irish sea better deliver the good stuff

I'm down in little bray and we have more than a dusting. Everywhere white

I wouldn't say that nacho libre .

Isn't the solar minimum next year (or two)? This may mean more of this sort of thing....?

Heavy winds in celbridge for the last few hours, not even sure if this is the main event yet? Some amount of snow fell today so far. I'm already excited about what morning will bring!!!

Xanax yet to kick in.

You must be joking? I live close to the seafront in Bray, just walked out onto the street, and footsteps from when I last checked an hour ago are now gone.

These small snowflakes are causing decent accumulations, and are building steadily for what’s to come.

If you look at the radar, only a tiny piece of this storm has currently passed over the Bray/Shankill area, there’s hours of this to go.

I’m confident we’ll get falls that are not too far from the predicted meter.

Calibos I thought that too in D14 but you should go out and look, not from a window, this drift snow is causing deceivingly large accumulations. Its 5 or so inches here since dinner time

Yeah, everything is white here too......with a dusting!

Haha we're back to Tuesday night levels. Hoping for more by the time I'm awake in the morning

You talking about the next event next week ?

No, Winters 2018-19 to 2020-21 perhaps thanks to solar minimum.

Help!! My whole house smells like dog farts and I can't open a window!

Lampost not showing Snow then ?:D

Not a bit no! having to resort to using the side of the car instead! Mad how it's the west facing side of the car collecting snow though! The winds are mental here!
