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

I saw that, but his main forecast says it will mainly be central Leinster affected, so trying not to get my hopes up.

Anyone able to report on conditions around Trim?

Clare.. accumulations like nothin I have ever seen. Really concerned about the thaw now. Employers should be prosecuted for expecting people to move in this.
Hearing people getting rescued form their cars. Like. Seriously.

Gardai are advising people to stay of the roads and I guess public transport is a no go too, you're employers haven't a leg to stand on.

Snowing/Snizzling for 12 hrs straight in Ardmore Co. Waterford after serious snow showers for the previous 48 hours. Drifts of 5/6 feet on the road outside my house. Another 8/10 hours of snow to come, historic conditions for this part of the country

Very little snow in Dublin City centre- crazy the difference a few miles make.

I'm 4K from the city centre and we have about 25cms of snow and higher drifts! And its snowing again

The mountain shadow really made a difference it seems
South Dublin got mostly dumped on, while city and north really escaped.

Any update on Youghal, haven't heard from there in a while I guess there on the same boat.

Grandeeod · 02-03-2018 10:04AM

Still very windy and snowing.

South Laois.

Stop giving false advice. Employers can still expect you in work legally. Wouldn't be good employers though

RTE1 RTE2 and TV3 seem to have lost their link to the satellite or that is what my sky box is telling me.

In Kilbeggan, not much change since last night. Doesn't look like much snow fell. I feel there is a thaw on. The road has tracks to the tar from where traffic have been passing. Snow that was built up in the corners of windows, etc, is much less this morning and it is much wetter stuff

Same for D13. So disappointing.

fxotoole · 02-03-2018 10:04AM

North Kildare here.

Yesterday afternoon I got the ruler out in the back garden and measured one mound of snow to be 28cms.

We’ve been blasted out of it for 12+ hours with heavy snow and winds. Took one look out the bedroom window to find mounds of snow almost as high as my car :eek:

I’ll throw a pic up when I get a chance

diarmuid79 · 02-03-2018 10:05AM

Well over a foot in Celbridge ðŸ˜±ðŸ˜±⚠️

jamo2oo9 · 02-03-2018 10:05AM

In Santry and I'm getting 10-11 cm at most. Really was looking forward to those 20-30cm of snow

02-03-2018 10:05AM

No extra snow at all last night here in south Drogheda , although extremely windy ....... temperatures much milder too , I’m utterly delighted, so are the birds

. Tired of all this over done weather stuff now , wall to wall, back to back media coverage . Jesus how on earth did we manage to live in past weather events !

This has been much less of an event than 2010 and 1982 - lots of snow but no comparison at all !

Cantona's Collars · 02-03-2018 10:05AM

Still bucketing down here in Wexford in a biting wind.

whiskeyman · 02-03-2018 10:07AM

Probably a new topic, but where the hell is all that melted snow gonna go when it goes?
Is flooding a big concern now?
Will the drainage infrastructure handle it?

They stay indoors warnings have been lifted. Punkivc transport is a no go. But it all depends where you live/work.

D13 is fine snow melting. Waterford, Tipp and Kilkenny is crazy with the amount of snow they got.

It's coming down since in town but very light melty flakes although I'm sure some are sticking. I'm not sure whether to wish it away or here at this stage.

Didn't see video but wow and there was a car with headlights on... was someone trying to drive on that road? :eek:

Is that the Rhu Glen?

Sorry, I couldn't post the video. Yeah, it was a jeep coming along, to be fair, I'll give him the benefit of the doubt, he could have been a farmer going to check on something or going somewhere to provide urgent help.

Yeah that's the Rhu, the snow is so bad on the road it looks like vehicles haven't been along there in days!

Jimbob1977 · 02-03-2018 10:07AM

Sorry to ask. Just woke up.

Have any blizzards materialised in Leinster or Munster overnight?

Moderate snow with zero winds in Limerick.

FrStone · 02-03-2018 10:08AM

Got a few cms of snow here in Cork alright - no high winds or anything like that. Looks like Met Eireann got it wrong.

leahyl · 02-03-2018 10:08AM

It’s mad snowing now in Cork city - think we’re getting ours later!

Ballycullen, Firhouse seeing maybe 40cm+ with 4-5ft drifts against higher walls. We seem to always get a pasting in the foothills here!

tiegan · 02-03-2018 10:09AM

Snowed powdery snow all night in Fethard, Co Tipp - about 6" this am, lots of drifts. Was a bit disappointed during the night tbh, but driving home from work this morning, there was more than enough to cope with on the roads. Quite glad now that we did not get more. But still snowing!!

Aruba08 · 02-03-2018 10:09AM

Waterford is buried!! Absolutely amazing!

Make your way to north Kildare and eat your words. Which you won’t be able to given that there’s heavy snow gusts and easily 30+ cms of snow on the roads
