STILL snowing here in South Dublin and heavy. My estate has decent accumulation from last night. garden pretty full with snow! How long is it supposed to keep snowing for here?

The entire day I think, though I don't know how heavy it'll be

Hope the video works.

Co. Longford. No snow coming down, but wind has cleared all trees of snow.

I have a wedding today. I don't know how I'm going to get to it

Alan Smithee · 02-03-2018 09:22AM

I guess just like politics all weather is local. Listening to national radio telling us the worst has passed and I look outside and if anything the snow showers are getting stronger here in South East Wexford.

PirateShampoo · 02-03-2018 09:22AM

Massive drifts in Tallaght

Pretty meager snowfall in D2 overnight. Anywhere I can walk to to see some proper unforgettable stuff?

Probably more in the south of the city but I doubt anything within walking distance that'll make you say wow to the difference

Did anyone hear the news on RTE radio just now? It was reported that a young boy and his father had a bad accident in the snow last night in Mayfield, which is where I am

Yeah fell off a small wall landed awkwardly and the father fainted with the fright...terrible

Gaoth Laidir · 02-03-2018 09:22AM

It's the most snow I've seen since 1982 here in Celbridge. Beats 2010 hands down. Drifts 2-3 feet

Yeah I saw something online about it. The son has a very bad neck injury apparently. Very sad.

Wow great to see some pics like that so people realise what has actually happened in places. Problem the best we have seen yet.

irishrover99 · 02-03-2018 09:22AM

Worst than 2010?
In nutgrove Dublin, absolutely

Eoin247 · 02-03-2018 09:23AM

Barely any snowfall in dublin city centre it seems. With some melting going on too.

Decent snow in Wicklow though

Vxlks · 02-03-2018 09:23AM

has the worst still hit here in dublin or... is this still not fully it?

morgana · 02-03-2018 09:23AM

Slight but steady snowing in north Cork near mallow. Looks like 10 to 15cm accumulation. Flakes are getting bigger now.

God that’s awful, I think he’s very badly injured. Wonder where that was in Mayfield.

The storm has stalled and it looks like we will be getting this kind of fairly low intensity snowfall for the rest of the day

That's insane! You're only about 12k east of where I am. We've about 2-3 foot drifts on walls and the roads and fields about 6in.

force eleven · 02-03-2018 09:25AM

Ironic that they withdraw the stay indoors warning when the worst is actually here now? North Offaly.

kod87 · 02-03-2018 09:25AM

Still snowing here in tipp, only about 10cm of new snow since yesterday, however there are drifts of at least 30cm in places. Precipitation looks to be getting going now.

joes girls · 02-03-2018 09:26AM

OMG this is EPIC, unreal amount of Snow and still coming down. Have to go and take photos, might never see it like this again. Still have power and Water, thank god.
Southeast Wexford.

I think they jumped the gun slightly

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.

North kk near Ballyragget do you think there is much more to come here Robert

Gavlor · 02-03-2018 09:28AM

Loc. Waterford.

Guess where I left my shovel yesterday evening.....

Mountainsandh · 02-03-2018 09:28AM

West Waterford, Knockmealdowns.

We didn't get a lot more, maybe a few cm, I can see on the radar that we seem to get a lot less than both East and West of the coast.

It still looks nice and more importantly, we still have power thank goodness.
The wind just seems to have redistributed most of the snow from yesterday with a bit on top. The driveway and roofs have been swept off, to deposit snow in 20/30 cm drifts here and there.

All perfect as far as I'm concerned, and glad I don't have to go anywhere

Wishing power to those without it, I know all too well the hardship without it, we're usually in the firing line for the other storms and powercuts.

The snowfall in Dublin 15 is incredible...Castleknock/Blanchardstown.

Our Road blocked by drifts 3/4 feet in places.

Best snowfall since 1982 here ....much much more than 2010...see pics

Hour 6, one last look out the Velux at Meath Road in Bray before sleep and..............

...[Sigh] The Ice Pellets are simply not accumulating down here. Still only about 2cm at best on the footpaths and road that were clear at 9pm.

I am expecting to wake up to same about 9am. Beyond frustrating to be house-bound for the duration of this but without a big payoff at the end.

What promised to be the most incredible sequence of weather events delivering historic snow depths in decades is nothing of the sort where I am in Bray. FFS!!

Just back awake lads and as expected nothing accumulated since last night near the Seafront. Beyond disappointed

advising people they can go outside was daft , they should have left it in place until 1 PM as previously .

It's very localised. Some places have barely any snow at the moment, so no reason for them not to be able to go out.
