Feels like a melt here in Sandycove.. Wind dropped off and then slight accumulation stopped. Dripping off the roof now . Wind back up now, but it's mainly rain. Snow gone off trees. Hope it turns around again.

There's a drip holes in the snow on my balcony too. Still snowing but feels very marginal. Feels like it wouldn't take much for it to turn into sleet.

Bit of a melt here in D4

Yakult · 02-03-2018 04:39AM

Lovely layering of snow here in Tralee. Still coming down as I type!

raven136 · 02-03-2018 04:39AM

I can update on Dublin City centre as far out as Swords

Massive gusts, blizzard driving conditions and snow beginning to crunch underfoot as it harderns

Tough going

Kildare and Dublin appear to be very hard hit

Recent satellite imagery shows that big blob of white off the SE coast. Should make the next few hours interesting :eek::D

Does it mean heavy snow for east Cavan,sorry I know nothing about these charts

Kermit.de.frog · 02-03-2018 04:40AM

It's getting marginal alright. Always a risk right on the coast. A gale force easterly not going to do any favors either.

Just been out for a wander in Cabinteely, the drifts are knee height! It's insane! Snow is far better than 2010 if you include the drifts, almost like doing a hurdle just to walk

Forgot to say, my dad insisted on going out with me, saying that the last time he saw snow anything like this was in 1982 and 1987 and that he might never see it again!

Xenji · 02-03-2018 04:42AM

Moderate snow falling in Castlebar the last two hours, nothing like the rest of the main part of the event as expected, but still nice to see.

Artane2002 · 02-03-2018 04:43AM

I woke up ten minutes ago and saw that fine snow still. It surprised me. Finally, the proper flakes arrived. It seems like the blowing snow has stopped but drifts up to a metre in some spots.

Not a snowflake seen in Cork City! It's embarrassing to be off work tomorrow.... unless there's a major 'blizzard' overnight......

Check out Thaitaniums post in the model/technical thread, might help swing the mood

Davaeo09 · 02-03-2018 04:44AM

Winds gusting again in kilkenny. Worst so far of the night. Still just a light snow in the wind.

OneEightSeven · 02-03-2018 04:44AM

It's only -0.2 °C in Ashbourne according to my local road weather station. Several stations near the coast of Dublin and Wicklow are above -0 °C: http://www.meath.ie/CountyCouncil/Roads/RoadWeatherStationInformation/

BLIZZARD7 · 02-03-2018 04:45AM

really not much falling now in D14, just a few flakes.

Sandycove/DL here too, drip holes near the gaff but I'm not too worried tbh, looking at the radar there's a long way to go tonight.

It means higher clouds tops which are very cold, so whatever comes out of it is going to be, let's say, quite heavy. It's heading NW but varying west slightly every frame.

kod87 · 02-03-2018 04:53AM

looks like heavier stuff near south east now, no doubt it will disintegrate rapidly as it moves inland towards me.

Kermit.de.frog · 02-03-2018 04:54AM

According to the radar should be somewhat heavier snow here but nada atm.

Only pic that seems to be uploading for me, but that's 4 foot drifts just in my small enclosed driveway, can't begin to imagine how bad they are in more open areas.

Newbridge, Co.Kildare

Newbridge to Naas road blocked by snow
2 ambulances and one fire engine got stuck in road

Road is now impassable

Naas/ Newbridge full on blizzard and driving conditions are incredibly dangerous

Anyone driving or attempting to drive an ordinary car in these conditions is insane

This is everything they said and more

Kilcullen not any better now...

What's it like in Dublin city? The temple bar webcam is down.

BobTheHammer44 · 02-03-2018 05:00AM

When's the blizzard going to hit Dublin proper?

Great image. The whole island enveloped in snow.

FirefighterT7 · 02-03-2018 05:02AM

Very powdery snow in Sligo, going continuously for last hour or more though, hope will get a bit heavier, anyone know what the models showing?

_Dara_ · 02-03-2018 05:04AM

IT’S SNOWING SIDEWAYS!
