    Not really. Kilkenny last night hadn't much fresh snow. Its been going now for about 4 hours :)

    That’s still where the front is going west though. It’s stalled going north last night. And the main snow bands are driving West and south. You can see that on netweather.

    Any sign of thaw down there?

    Yes. Big flakes :-)

    It's pretty epic alright. Puts 2010 in the ha'penny place.
    Just saw a video of Penney's in Wexford,all the snow on the roof sliding off into the street.

    I've had to try clear the snow from the roof as it's so heavy it's broken some of the guttering clips. Will have to get the whole thing repaired next week.

    Rochestown, Cork here. Never seen so much snow. Nearly another foot overnight. Absolutely incredible.

    Agree. Emma didn't really make it north of the Liffey. I'm hearing no reports of any disruption from places north of Dublin such as Drogheda, Dundalk, north Co Dublin etc.

    I was watching the heavier snow on the radar last night. It literally hit a wall around the Irish Sea just east of the city centre.

    There is a snow drift where I am, here in North Kildare that's completely blocking the main road out of our village. It's approx 7 feet high and maybe half a km long, going the length of the road. It came across from an exposed field. Dozens of people out taking pics, never seen anything like it.

    I personally prefer and thought 2010 was more impressive here for my area specifically, Dublin 13.

    I know that Kildare certainly has some shocking scenes but I'm only speaking for my area.

    Here in Dublin 15 , hands down its beaten 2010 . Send pictures of my back garden to friends and people were stunned. We got it bad in 2010 but could get around no problem. The drifts have left crazy amounts at the top of our road.

    Pictures coming in from friends and relatives in South KK show well over one foot level and rising with extreme drifting.

    Truly a once in a generation event.

    Never seen snow like it here in kildare before and I'm in my 40s.
    My garden in monasterevin 14 inches deep and 4 to 5 foot in the drifts.
    Power gone here all morning, kids loving the pancakes cooked on the stove in living room.
    Still snowing lightly.

    Heavy snow in Inchicore. Like being up the alps.

    I haven't heard any reports from the hillier parts of rural north county Dublin, they could have seen much more than the coastal towns.
    The Naul, Garristown and Manowar areas have terrain that exceeds 100m above sea level.

    I believe shops opening after 1 today. Anyone know if fuel - briquettes, coal, timber available and, if so, where. Need some tomorrow at latest. Thanks. Hope ye are all wrapped up and cosy.

    Thawing well in D9. Colder air must be straddling south of the city away from the coast.

    Up till 3am and we were doing as well as anyone - snow coming down fast and depths flying up. We missed out on most of the heaviest streamers stuff and there was only a level ~10-13cm on the ground ignoring minor drifts before 8pm last night. Did well to get up to over 20cm with deeper in drifts.

    Only drifting now is the cold spell slowly drifting away from my part of Dublin.

    Enjoy those who are in line for more snow. Can see Wexford and and Wicklow catching up to N.Kildare by the sounds of it.

    Relentless here in Cobh. Snowed in. Is there any chance of us getting out tomorrow? Cabin Fever :(

    I'm watching the neighbours clearing the snow off their cars, it's the metre of snow in front of them that might pose more of a problem. :):):)

    Phoenix park and Castleknock.

    Drifts up to 3/4 feet with 40/50 cm on ground.

    Snowing again..heavily

    I'm giving up now, whats left of Emma has stalled and I'm expecting nothing more than flurries from now on.

    There wasn't disruption in south dublin either until you get out as far as sandy ford and clondalkin and tallaght areas. Coastal areas doclands to dun laoghaire, ballsbridge, rathgar,dundrum milltown, rathmines are snowy but not that disruptive imo

    Unbelievable snowfall in Kilkenny City all this morning, still hammering down now.

    Magical conditions and more than makes up for the lack of blizzard like conditions last night.

    Over 1000 homes still without power in Carrigaline area, 120 in Kinsale area and over 100 in Innishannon. Absolutely plummeting it down here in south Cork making working conditions even more difficult. Fair play to the ESB crews working to reconnect homes all over the country.

    Just saw a guy doing that outside. There's no way to drive a car out there. I hope he's not intending on trying.

    Went for a walk around the Mardyke/Sunday’s Well area in Cork. Fitzgerald’s Park is closed but the Mardyke walk/skatepark is open. There are people trying to snowboard in the skatepark! Lovely athmosphere around. Lots of kids (and adults) making snowmen! There are people building a big polar bear in Sunday’s well up the road from me...can’t wait to see it done.

    Yes certainly catching up here in Wexford. It's relentless! Fab!

    Update from Fingal half an hour ago
    The situation in Fingal is that inland areas fared worse than coastal areas with large accumulations of snow reported in the west of the county in areas like St Margaret’s, Blanchardstown, Naul, Garristown, Oldtown and Ballyboughal. A crew was called out this morning to assist an ambulance which was stuck near Lusk.

    Swords got very little new snow and it appears to be thawing. Council have cleared a lot of the main roads too

    Snowing here constantly. Not heavily. No sun and its 0 degrees.

    What thaw are people seeing in Cork City? There's no thaw in the South side.

    The snow just keeps on coming here in Waterford City. Drifts up to 5 feet. One to tell the grand kids about for sure.
