According to Gerry Murphy on RTE just now, away from high ground, any snow will turn to sleet by tonight.

No he said it might turn to sleet later in the day but snow again tonight.

Lots of snow here overnight in the western surburbs of Cork City and still falling. Not going anywhere today. Sorry if someone's already posted this. But good advice here for what to feed the birds. They'd like fresh water too. Stay warm everyone!

Fantastic.

I am about 15m ASL in Wexford and its still snowing. As if there wasnt enough with the accumaltions and snow drift here already.

We should be having our first BBQ here in the Sunny South East today

It's been snowing heavily here all morning in Shanbally near Carrigaline. Id say about 6 inches has fallen in the last 12 hours. Also have no satellite signal for sky tv

Dubh Geannain · 02-03-2018 11:30AM

Hasn't stopped snowing since I got up in Trim this morning at 7 am. A bit of a thaw going on though.

The accumulated snow is slipping off the sides of cars now. Currently 1 Deg and snowing

It just won't stop snowing here in North Kildare; still blizzard like at times too.

mloc123 · 02-03-2018 11:31AM

Celbridge. I helped push a car free, got bogged down in a drift... the person driving should not have been out.. no experience and kept stalling as we pushed them free.

Straffan1979 · 02-03-2018 11:31AM

For my area it is infinitely better than the met.ie radar. Doesnt seem to do Dublin well though.

I haven't been out at all, purely 'window-casting' from the St Wolstans Abbey end.

erica74 · 02-03-2018 11:33AM

My husband just brought tea and toast down to some fella stranded on the main road. He's driving a little Citroën berlingo, luckily it's not white, it's blue. The van just won't go any further. He has a friend in a jeep coming to give him a tow but his friend is also having trouble driving. My husband told him that if he hasn't been picked up within the next hour, he's coming up to us until someone can get to him.
No idea why he's out driving, didn't ask.

Rock Lesnar · 02-03-2018 11:34AM

Thawing like crazy here in north east meath

km79 · 02-03-2018 11:34AM

Not too much of a top up in THIS part of East Galway but all the roads are impassable all the same.
Looks like the heavier stuff went south and west of us fish a few friends have sent some amazing pictures of roads around clarinbridge . Galway city seems to have hit a good pasting too

grenouille1966 · 02-03-2018 11:36AM

Blizzard again Dublin 15....very heavy with huge flakes. Massive snowfall.

Sleeper12 · 02-03-2018 11:36AM

+1c here on the coast, Dublin 5.

We've had plenty of snow since Wednesday morning but starting to melt now. I see it dripping from my van also snow on the grass is icy or slushy

kingshankly · 02-03-2018 11:36AM

Where I live in south Armagh is very exposed half of my driveway hasn’t one grain of snow the other half is 3-4 feet has blown all to one side

Markgc · 02-03-2018 11:36AM

WORD OF WARNING.
Watch out for thawing snow sliding off roofs throughout the day. Enough of it can be quiet heavy if it falls on your head.

And feed the birds!!

Can we just stop an appreciate how crazy this event is though that theres dubliners at sea level complaining about 'only' getting 4 or so inches last night

I actually got no extra net snow last night. Very strange considering the south side was buried.

Also Dublin tends to do well out of easterlies.

Anyway it is what it is. Enjoying what I have.
