Will the people complaining about little to no snow just relax and enjoy your few unexpected days off go read a book or something binge watch netflix or have a monopoly marathon with the kids

Well some people have project deadlines for customers to meet and are tearing their hair out right now, but point taken when Mother Nature decides to go wild there's not a lot us mere mortals can do about it.

Fairly coming down again in D5 (Killester)

Dish out of alignment due to the wind??

Dublin city starting to get a lot of real snow flakes now

It's still snowing in Cork City and still accumulating. I don't remember ever seeing this much snow in my life, although my mam reckons 78 may have been worse (or was is 82 - she can't remember). I went to bed last night at 1am, and there was just the fine dust coming down, but no string winds or anything and it's be snowing continuously since about 8am. While I did want to see what the blizzard conditions would be like, I'm kinda glad now we didn't get that, because it's made today very enjoyable. The place is so quiet with no traffic, and plenty of people out walking and messing around in the snow. Had to come in there because I couldn't feel my toes! While I'm amazed at some of the stuff in the rest of the country which may have been more extreme - this is Cork, and this is extreme for us anyway. A pair of dry socks and a bit of a warm and I'm off out in it again!

Heavy snow at Grange, at last. None of those crappy ice pellets, snow grains etc, actual proper snow!

Same here in donaghmede! Let it snow, Let it snow

Fairly heavy snow here in D6W, big fluffy flakes falling for the past hour. Doesn't seem to be sticking much though, dry areas from where cars were parked aren't filling up.

Dublin 24 Firhouse / Ballycullen has had pretty much non stop snow since Tuesday night.
There was a break for a few hours yesterday and Wednesday, but it's been snowing continuously since yesterday afternoon.
I wasn't up all night, so can't verify if it stopped overnight last night.
I'd reckon up until now we've had a similar amount of snow as 2010.
Very hard to estimate totals, because of drifting, but I'd say we have had several feet of snow.
Pic attached of car abandoned since last night!

D14 has had continous smoderate to heavy snow since 10am or so, currently bucketing down and sticking to things! Big fluffy fat flakes:D

Still snowing heav in Dublin 15....really heavy....could easily be 40 cm here and it is to get heavier this evening.

This is currently my back garden. Still snow falling, although lightly and it's windy as well.

No let up at all in Waterford City. Front garden wall (4ft) has been lost to the snow drifts; can't even see the top of it now. Car is buried halfway up in the driveway and still snowing steadily.

My partner has been told his workplace expect employees in at 6pm, but how they expect him to walk two miles in knee high snow is beyond me. Ridiculous expecting people to go out in this weather.
