    Braved a walk (or a slow trudge) on the country road outside by house. The road itself looks like something form a David Attenborough documentary on the Arctic. Pic below.

    Measurement on level part of driveway is 28cm I took a measurement on the lawn out of curiosity (I know this is not accurate because of air space) but have got 60cm or 2 feet on my lawn here on the south Cork coast. This is record-breaking for us. We have never gotten snow like this and the snow is still falling heavily!

    I don't know how much snow we've got here, but it's a lot.
    I feel like I'm missing out with regard to icicles though.

    I've been cheated

    Great icicles yesterday on the coast, twisted by the wind into funny shapes. They all fell off during the early hours, temp must have nudged above freezing.

    Huge accumulations in Clondalkin and big drifts. Neighbour trying valiantly to dig his way out to the entrance of the estate to go to work but not moved more than 50m in an hour. Friend reported chaos on nearby n7 with cars abandoned and driving wrong way.

    So bright here in Limerick that it's causing a slight thaw but refreezing as the temps are zero

    all shops and supermarkets to remain closed today in Dunshaughlin. Some of the side roads have drifts up to 6 foot deep.

    snow more or less stopped here now with sun trying to make an appearance.

  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 84 ✭✭KingBobby


    Is the snow going to stop at all today? Its relentless. The drifts are ridiculous at this stage! I did try to measure it...

    What's it like in Kerry? It normally escapes snow .

    4 inches here now in East kerry cork border. Slight thaw on now but I still think esp going by mts forecast could get more snow this eve and tonight as the low slips away westwsrds

    Pouring down again near Maynooth for the past hour, 41 hours of non-stop snow now. Out exploring and the best depth representation I can find is 36cm on a level hard surface, drifts above my waist in places though and judging by pics I've seen on here there's about a metre of snow all along the main road into town, incredible scenes


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 89 ✭✭Sariah


    Lots of proper snow here still in Ballycullen, D24. Massive accumulations and drifts. Just went for a walk and lost the dog a few times in the drifts.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 3,390 ✭✭✭JanuarySnowstor


    Since gerry took over the forecast the tone has been thaw...sleet..etc.
    Well I've news for you gerry cork is in the middle of a blizzard and heavy snow and the city is in lockdown

    Wow. Where abouts was that taken?

    Just looking at the Arpege, if we can hold onto the cold, this could be far from over for South Dublin

    Lethal in Clondalkin. Spent the last 2 hours digging out a tow truck and then dig out a Micra so they could both get out. 4ft drifts out near the canal, 2-3ft drifts near my place. My webcam doesnt do it justice.


  • Moderators, Science, Health & Environment Moderators Posts: 17,415 Mod ✭✭✭✭Gonzo


    snow stopped here in Dunshaughlin about 20 minutes and sun trying to break through. Thaw is gaining momentum with snow sliding off the car and roof.

    Snow seems to be getting heavier in Dublin 7? Any other reports?


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 17,081 ✭✭✭✭dahat


    Getting heavier here on Clonmel also, not stopped at all. Epic stuff.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 222 ✭✭bosco12345


    Roads completely impassable around rural virginia area. 7-8ft of drifts on lanes , have never seen anything like this in my life. Still overcast hasn't snowed in an hour or so. Still extremely windy. 0.5 degrees

    Down and down and down she comes - mid Limerick. Just imagine if they were proper sized flakes!


  • Moderators, Technology & Internet Moderators Posts: 17,150 Mod ✭✭✭✭cherryghost


    For some parts I don't see a red warning lifted at 6

    That's it right there. That was what North County Dublin was like in 1982.
