75 year old Gabeeg reminiscing : i remember the falll of March 2018, when we were reduced to candelight by night with a whiskey in hand...
Come morning, with a massive hangover, i was shocked to discover i could not open the front door- i was snowed in for a week and had to survive on bread and Whiskey for seven days:o

But there’s no bread !

So far the 'copious' amounts of snow have not materialised as expected from this storm.

Met Eireann talked about one metre of snow falling in parts of Dublin??

Way of that amount at the moment...the snow is falling and swirling here in Dublin 15 but not epic thick snow....yet....

This is going to look amazing when daylight breaks. Most certainly the most snowfall this area (West Clare) has seen in most people's lifetime.

Had been salting an area on front of the door to keep it ice and snow free, useless trying it at this stage snow has won.

Strumms · 02-03-2018 03:19AM

Where I am it’s heading towards copious and getting worse

I thought it was our bulb going! Ha

I definitely haven’t seen weather like this before here.

Judging by the latest radar arklow, Gorey and hopefully ferns are gonna get completed plastered soon (I’m not from or in Ferns).

TheMilkyPirate · 02-03-2018 03:21AM

Mental in Wexford strong winds and heavy snow the last 8 hours, 2ft drifts in places God knows what the morning will be like

Windy in Galway city, blowing powdery snow all over the place, it looks unlike anything I've seen before, sometimes like a dense fog. Our cm of snow has become 2cm since 12 o clock too. Exciting times!

leahyl · 02-03-2018 03:23AM

Anyone care to tell me if it’s snowing in cork city? I’m in bed and couldn’t be arsed getting out of it....:-D not sound outside so I’m guessing not much has changed from 2 hours ago before I fell asleep

First flicker of the evening here too, was hoping it was the bulb! Am up beside Grange Castle so was hoping we'd avoid a cut due to being close to all those data centres and pharma factories!

Did you not say recently that it was worse than 2010 in D15, Ffarrell tell us where gets the most snow,again and again and again:rolleyes:

Franz Von Peppercorn · 02-03-2018 03:24AM

Very weak accumulations here in north coastal Dublin. Lots of tiny snow falling but nothing to show for it. Light dusting on the road.

The netweather radar seems to want to not move the heavier precipitation in the Irish Sea.

weatherfiend · 02-03-2018 03:25AM

Huge amounts of snow in Sandyford tonight - and still coming.

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.

It did but not going to argue. That tweet will be all over the news sites later. The description is "fake", over exaggerated rubbish.

As for the extensive power outage, where are you getting the info? Because the ESB is only showing long term cuts that are hitting 20-500 households local to the fault.

20 here, 50 there etc..

Differences across the city are amazing.

Im guessing we're slightly too warm, and the snow really explodes when it hits sub zero temperatures further inland.

HelloMrSnowman · 02-03-2018 03:26AM

Having trouble uploading the photos, but measured 39 cm in sheltered non drift area, and 128 cm in drift by my car. Apparently we haven't even been hit properly yet.

Newbridge, Co. Kildare

Quite a lot in raheny on the coast! I would say 20-25cm

Oh without a doubt here too. Garden Shed completely blocked by drifts. My estate now cut off as drifts have come through the fence onto the main road from the field beside us.

J6P · 02-03-2018 03:27AM

What time should that reach us? Any danger of it turning back to snow as it meets the cold?

It is worse than 2010.....min D15 anyway...but the 'massive precipitation' promised for tonight has not materialised .....yet

kerrycork13 · 02-03-2018 03:28AM

Looking at the maps and models looks feasible that kerry are cork (parts of) will get heavier snow Tommorow

daheff · 02-03-2018 03:28AM

Easily 30cm extra here. Some BIG drifts....

Here being Celbridge!

weatherfiend · 02-03-2018 03:29AM
