MissMoc · 02-03-2018 08:09AM

We got absolutely nothing in Tullamore - maybe 1cm. Suppose we can’t complain as we have plenty from previous days.

Exactly just a few minutes from the City e.g. Carrigaline and Kinsale, weve had heavier snow than in 1982 (albeit the bulk of it fell Tuesday night and not last night).

It doesn't look like the Curragh got any fresh snow overnight. Very windy and some precipitation falling pretty consistently, but it's not snow and the accumulations are pretty much what they were before I went to bed.

wakka12 · 02-03-2018 08:12AM

No thaw at all here in D14. 65m asl.
Plants and bushes and leaves still laden with snow , the snow fall was always quite wet in nature though even last night

jamesbondings · 02-03-2018 08:12AM

Have 2-3 foot of it in dunboyne...... The little lad has to go to the child miners (less than a hundred yards away) that walk will be fun.

SleetAndSnow · 02-03-2018 08:12AM

Finally some heavy small flakes in cork city. Not blizzard because there's no wind but heavyier then what we had.

John.Icy · 02-03-2018 08:13AM

Same radar returns that were delivering heavy driving snow a few hours ago have absolutely nothing falling from tbe sky anymore in D9. Evaporation? Shadow? What's changed?

02-03-2018 08:13AM

1m high drifts,
Blessington, 200m asl.

Like xmas people will be praying this is all over in a day so normality can resume.

Novelty is wearing off already.

RobertKK · 02-03-2018 08:14AM

So far the March 30th/31st 2010 was a far worse event, but there is time for that to change. This is not a blizzard here unlike that event.

Had a decent bit in east cork (carrigtwohill) overnight and still coming down. Not as bad/much as I wanted/expected but if it doesn't stop it'll be fun.

Parents in Ashford in Wicklow finally getting some too, cant wait to hear how bad it is.

Not much happening in Kilkenny City. Unsure if it will change but appears we got passed anyway.

wakka12 · 02-03-2018 08:16AM

There was decent falls in D14 last night , looks like 7 or inches but need to measure. So are the original forecasts of one metre not happening or is heavier snow predicted for south Dublin ?

Rock Lesnar · 02-03-2018 08:16AM

Well after 2 and a half days of heavy snow here in north east meath, it thankfully appears to have finally have stopped

fred funk }{ · 02-03-2018 08:16AM

Incredible snow in Arklow and it's still coming. I don't remember seeing snow like it. Nobody is going anywhere today as all the cars in the estate are snowed in. Massive deep drifts around the place, up the side of walls and cars.

revelman · 02-03-2018 08:17AM

I know it is probably an impossible task. But is there any way of getting more accurate measurements or estimates of how much snow has actually fallen? People are talking about the snow being several feet deep but are we sure that they are not looking at drifts? I’m not asking people to go out obviously but remember measurements on grass will overstate because of the air space. Looking at a flat surface e.g a top of a car would be better. Probably the wind makes it more difficult to do this though.

It's really hard to estimate because of drifts and sublimination daily but it seems to me like the only places that got over a foot of precipitation is parts of Kildare

My measurements have been on the flat ground so 4 inches of snow over night in South Kilkenny and yesterday we had already had around 4 inches so about 8 inches altogether, maybe between 8 and 10 inches altogether.

Red alert needs to be downgraded for most areas. No reason why Dublin should not be more or less fully open for business this morning.

I haven't been out yet but I can bet that we got that, at least.
