Severe Weather Snow / Ice Weds 28 FEB ( Onwards ) ** READ MOD NOTE POST#1**

Cork city

Backroad south meath

Rathnew/Wicklow Town lost power around 11:30pm last night, came back on around 2:30am. Woke up to a reasonable covering but nothing like as much as predicted although its hard to say the level we got as its all dusty and blowing around like a sand storm. Good few cm up by the door, but not enough to cover the grass or the road where its blowing about. Think it was the dusty crap more than decent flakes all night. It’s still going pretty much the same as when I went to bed. Enough for the kids to build their first snowmen

13 inches of snow fell here last night in Gorey with 2-3ft snow drifts and it's still snowing heavily.

Malahide end of Swords here, not too far from the sea. Had that fine ice/snow all night, a bit disappointed to see nothing extra really on the ground this morning. However the car opposite ours is white while ours is still red, both had been stripped of all snow by the kids yesterday. Made some stuff up for the birds and stepped out the back. I sank about 6-7 cm. That wasn't there 12 hours ago (kids had stripped the patio too, several toys have disappeared, presume they'll reappear during the thaw). The wind really mixed up the fall/sticking last night. Our front looks like nothing happened but the back got well covered. Hoping for some more nice big flakes today...

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

I would imagine you don't need to wander far to see some accumulations. Must be wind plus your location? Wicklow town only 200m from the sea has decent coverage. Would have thought your location was similar. Still chucking down here too.

Snowed in here in celbridge. Some drifts up to car height, possibly higher. Madness!!!

I ran down to the main road to get some more pics. This is the main N25 between Waterford and New Ross. I don't know if you can really see in the pics but there are MASSIVE drifts across the width of the road, they're so cool but difficult to photograph.

Currently in my folks in D12, plenty of snow about but nowhere near 2010. My next door neighbour in Firhouse/Ballycullen just sent me a pic of our road and the snow is in drifts easily 3-4 feet high in the middle of the road. Kind of sorry I'm not at home now!

Would love another good pelt of snow today but from reading MT's forecast it doesn't seem likely.

Based on MT's forecast back on page 369 it easily looks like there could be more snow in dublin today

About half a metre in the back garden in Rathdrum - more accumulated than 2010

Ten mins to get the back door open, shed has a mound of snow just over 3ft deep around it. I'm in Clondalkin, seems to be about 20cm sitting generally everywhere but the drifts are huge. Most snow ive ever seen in my life in this country.

heavy snow still falling cork city. and judging by the radar there's heavier stuff coming

I am so envious of you lot with your big snow! It has skipped Rush, the wind is still fairly strong but there was no further snow and the thaw has set in
