    Yeah seems the coastal areas in Dublin are missing out slightly. In Shankill and now it’s been very slow and steady today and continues to be so. The snow that’s falling is pretty wet and you get the feeling that it could disappear quickly when the sun comes out.

    Raheny and Clontarf aren't missing out on anything.

    Snow is about 20cm thick in places.

    Went out there for five minutes and I couldn't hack it even in full gear.

    He caught the power outage - bright electrical arc immediately before the cut, I suspect that's what people saw when they mentioned lightning.

    They should have said "in Dublin" not "over Dublin". Gives the impression the entire city went dead when it did not.

    Doubt it in Munster and Leinster. Red warning in place. Anyone goes driving in that needs a talking to. Not sure about the rest of the country.

    Phone struggled to adjust the focus correctly at the beginning here, and of course you never really see the full extent of snowfall on a video, but it's just insane outside in Cabra at the minute (take a look at the power lines to see how strong the winds are)

    Power cut to 6900 customers in Wicklow Town and surrounds, I'm no expert but one fault to take that many people offline must be a serious one.

    Exact same thing happened during storm Ophelia, too. Whatever it is, something isn't right with the grid connection out there.

    No. It doesn't.

    Perhaps no more than a couple of inches or 5cm in balbriggan, with drifts against walls of up to a foot max.

    Do I see potential rain heading for Rosslare on the netweather radar? Is that still accurate, think someone said earlier it was being a bit funny!

    I am up the road and its on. These are local things not postal code things. Just because you have lost power in Dublin 6, it does not mean the whole area is dead.

    So any chance of a lecky lend “neighbor” ??

    Could be a weak point at a critical juncture.

    Same in Kimmage, no issues. Still lashing down to use a technical term. A few inches of fine snow added since this evening. Not too dramatic but enough to keep me looking out at it anyway.

    Might've jinxed it. Just had the first flicker of the flights.

    Why would there be so many power cuts in Dublin.

    No. That tweet didn't imply that.

    You are reading into it and other posts for some bizarre reason.

    Be glad your power isn't out but it is extensive.

    Because it's red alert and we want to be the center of attention even if other places are getting more snow :D

    ...and as the snow fell and the bears ate us, I looked around and saw that for the first time we were a real family.

    Looks to be a band of very heavy (up to 10mm/hr) precipitation heading towards Wicklow / South Dublin, making landfall maybe in the next hour or two
