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

I spoke to soon, pelting down again

polydactyl · 02-03-2018 08:48AM

I thought we had gotten absolutely nothing here in D9 looking out my window at some bare patches.

Looked around the side of the aprt block. Def a few inches, door will barely open either as the snow is so frozen

SleetAndSnow · 02-03-2018 08:49AM

Very heavy snow now in cork at last.

Put it this way, have you look at the cameras on the m50?

Lucan is a mess, so is tallaght and further south.
Yes city might be ok but people got to get there first. To open up transport your talking about a lot of cars on bad roads, accidents will happen. If the warning saves a life it's worth it.

Money is not everything your health is

Yep Lucan sure is a mess. Large drifts out on the roads in my estate. Not a chance I'd be able to get to work and it's only 15mins away in traffic on a good day

Before and after Emma

Have been looking at thread and read reports from South Dublin and rest of country I was specifically asking if anywhere in North Dublin was hit heavily by Emma. Being beside the sea we always get less snow so just curios!

D15 got plenty and we are north side.

I'd lay money most of these 'sure it's a bit of snow, everywhere should be open' types are business owners. 'There's money to be made boys!! Don't be worrying about car accidents, blizzards, any of that namby pamby ****e, you should be grateful to have a job!!' Tossers.

Even if they did go in and open up, how many customers and/or deliveries would you be expecting?

Reports on here suggest some heavy falls around SW Dublin 14-16-24. Even then localised as people in Rathfarnham saying they got nothing much.

The reality is this has been very different from the forecast last night. Are you denying that ?

You can't segregate a weather warning for an area as small as Dublin , some areas got what was forecasted , others didn't ,

Plus this event is far from over

ILikeBoats · 02-03-2018 08:50AM

Skerries - we have less snow if anything

Cantona's Collars · 02-03-2018 08:50AM

Looking out the front of my house there's little or no snow on one side of the road and drifts all around. The wind whipping around the corner kept a couple of patches clear and piled it up high elsewhere. Headed for 10 inches in the garden where it's sheltered and it's still snowing.
Enniscorthy.

Wicklow mountains a huge block for a large part of the midlands...you can see the line very clearly on radar

Many places in Dublin and Wicklow I suspect will have had close to a METRE of snow when it stops snowing this evening.

There's a lot of snow around here in D14 but can't imagine it making it to a metre or anything close unless snow intensity increases massively today

It is red level here.
The wind has been picking up giving whiteout conditions in the stronger gusts, and the snow intensity has increased. The severity here on the hills north east of Kilkenny has definitely picked up in the last half hour.

Are you up in Castlewarren or Muckalee area, Robert? It's still very quiet down in the town. A bit of a light snow shower got half an hour which has just stopped.

Electricity just gone in Shankill

You can see only the head of the Buddha statue

Images won't upload for some reason.

Do you have a lot of snow munsterlegend?

Yeah a lovely covering. I'd say 1-2inches. I'd have been happy with 5-10cm so looks on target.

Some of you guys just don't like me calling it like it is :cool:

The Red weather warning is still in place :pac::pac::pac::pac:

Baraics Pollox · 02-03-2018 08:53AM

Dublin 5 definitely took on an extra layer of snow overnight. Theres a level section of my back garden with a good foot and thats not the grass. Drifts of 2-3 feet out front, snow has piled up in neighbours front garden and managed to top the garden wall!

Appears to be coming down lightly again.

sunbabe08 · 02-03-2018 08:53AM

ohhhhhhhhhh thick snow flakes falling down in cork city!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

So this is the updated pic from my dads house in longford. Snow drift are now at 4 feet on the road outside and they have no access

I'm in south Cavan, just across the border from Longford., what part of Longford is that?
We hadn't much more snow here since bed time, a good covering all told, but no major drifts, i am staying in, but if the need arose I could move if necessary.

CJhaughey · 02-03-2018 08:54AM

Still snowing here in West Cork just outside Bantry.
got 75-100mm last night and there is fine powder falling now.
No Traffic seems to be passing so people are heeding the warnings and rightly so.
Driving conditions would be pretty poor on summer tyres atm.

joe316 · 02-03-2018 08:54AM

Think Clane has been in the firing line, hasn’t stopped in over 24 hours.

Def close to 2 feet if not more

revelman · 02-03-2018 08:54AM

The snow here now in Kinsale is almost reaching my sitting room window. Driveway is unrecognizable as is backyard. Photos attached.

We have long beaten the 1982 record here. Unbelievable stuff.

..and we've only seen the tip of the ice-berg. (Emma stalled) Take a look at projected snowfall amounts for 6am and then 18:00 on Hirlam.

More of a pink warning when the advice is to go out and play in the snow.

Anyway stay safe all.....off to do some work.

jmorrisey · 02-03-2018 08:55AM

So is the red alert lifted?
Someone just messaged me saying they heard it on radio

wakka12 · 02-03-2018 08:55AM

Snowing moderate intensity now in D14. Flakes a lot lot larger than the pellets from last night. Accumulations could really pile up now if this continues

Are you in Castlewarren or Muckalee area? Nothing much in the town all night. A light barely there snow shower got twenty minutes just now but that was it. I wonder is your weather coming doen the hills or away from town?
