Looks like some proper flakes now on the Temple Bar cam, light for now. Along with a solitary taxi who's come to pick people up. Place is still well and truly open.

Gotten quite intense in Greystones in the last hour. I'd guess at about 4-6cm since 8.00pm. Blizzard conditions at times.

In Blessington we still have power.

Well over a foot accumulated in Newbridge, 3/4 foot in drifts with more falling as we speak. Have my own bit of snow to keep me awake for the duration of the blizzard, looking forward to seeing this once-in-a-century unfold in front of me

beefburrito · 02-03-2018 01:26AM

House moaning and groaning here, probably adjusting to the temperature change.....

Pentecost · 02-03-2018 01:26AM

If what is falling here were rain it would be very bad weather, as it’s not I’m seeing and believing in the gradual accumulation. However...is it likely that ‘big boy snow’ will come along in a few hours? (D6W)

sdanseo · 02-03-2018 01:26AM

Warnings gone from the MÉ website. Being updated and no doubt extended.

Here in Naas, the wind is howling. There is over a foot of snow on the car roof and right now it's sticking to the windows and up to 2 foot drifts in the garden.
I have ignored everyone but MTs forecast and it has been spot on for me. Although 2010 was a longer duration, this is a more extreme event.

Snowfall wise, get your point though.

I know this has been asked a few times but may have missed the answers. When is Storm Emma due to hit Dublin? Or has it hit yet? There's a bit of wind and constant light snow where I am, but wouldn't consider it too stormy.

Proper storm, early morning/tomorrow.
This is a mere preview!

Storm eye is just north of France

Seems to be the only outage with a restroe time that's within a few hours. All the rest - 8pm tomorrow.

Luckily only a few hours of that won't be daylight. Benefit of this happening in March.

Outage down the road from us here too. I have everything on charge topping up.

Skedaddle · 02-03-2018 01:28AM

Any explanation as to what is causing the power outages? Wind damage or something else?

RiseToMe · 02-03-2018 01:28AM

Santry - not going out to check but ground floor balcony, facing into wind, have just realised that the drift collected is in fact from ground right up to window sill, so just above knee height.

Saganist · 02-03-2018 01:29AM

Snow levels/drifts increasing rapidly.

megatron989 · 02-03-2018 01:30AM

Getting deeper here in Bray North, covered another step outside a neighbors door I can see from the kitchen, think 2 steps covered tonight so far. Don't know what the other lad from Bray is looking out at, must live in a house sheltered from the drifting snow.

Pawack · 02-03-2018 01:30AM

Max gust 74kmph on Howth head. Lights flickering.

Power gone in South Swords..
Was looking out the window and something black and plastic broke away from my roof area.
Only problem with that is there is nothing black and plastic on my roof?!

Coopaloop · 02-03-2018 01:32AM

Was heading off to bed there and was having one last look out the front door window when some man came literally stumbling zig zagging all over the road twisted drunk!! Seriously feared for his safety so I legged it and got my coat and boots on and grabbed the dog and followed him home caught up with him fast and found his house, but he really couldn't put two words together. Had to open the door for him. Silly people out there.

j1234 · 02-03-2018 01:32AM

Starting to get seriously worried if this keep up till morning. Up to my knees in the garden! Total blizzard outside. I can't even open my Doors!
