The N81 is impassable to Blessington on both the Dublin and Baltinglass sides. It has not stopped snowing here for two days. Feels like the scene from Seven Brides for Seven Brothers up here,

Slight thaw for an hour or too in Delgany but continued to snow and that after 10 hours of mad stuff. Up around 25/30cm total but very hard to tell because of drifting. Snowing heavily again now.
We almost always fall on the rainy side of marginal but this seems locked in for the afternoon and evening.
I have three seperate DRIFTS in the garden and I've decided to follow met.ie's lead by naming them. The biggest is called The Hump.

Very little sign of any thawing in D16, and snowing nicely for the last hour or so

Marje · 02-03-2018 03:16PM

Not sure if I am allowed to post a link from Facebook, but there's a video of people rescuing a woman out swimming in Sandycove. She's lucky to be alive. Madness to be out swimming in the conditions.

It's a lot to do with radiative heating of the roads which still gets through and in March is strong - I'd estimate that from 6pm the snow will begin to lay more readily once again

More ice pellets in with the flakes now here and starting to settle on some roofs that had thawed as a result.

Very random. In D15 still getting high winds and snow. Impossible to get out of the estate. No sign of a thaw.

Gwildor · 02-03-2018 03:17PM

If this snow carries on, we're going to lose the cars and sheds!! Still coming down fairly heavy up the Comeraghs in waterford...

Near Newcastle and current snow is adding depth nicely still.

Dinner plates.

-0.2C

wakka12 · 02-03-2018 03:18PM

Snowing a lot in D14..nice big fluffy plates, Im not too bothered about accumulations as it'll all be thawing tonight or tomorrow but its lovely to look out at and walk around in for the last day of the cold spell on top of all storm snow from last night. Finishing in style

If the snow had been like this during the storm last night maybe we would have seen a metre!

Ultimate Seduction · 02-03-2018 03:19PM

No thaw here yet, infact it's still accumulating. Temp 0.8° c

Anyone who dares venture out in a car in weather like this, just realize that if your car gets stuck, no one has much sympathy or will give much assistance.
So many fools (yes, that's what they are) today trying to drive down Monread Road and getting towards the end to realise it is impassible.

Here is a picture outside Tesco Extra in Naas. A digger there trying to rescue people and struggling themselves.

Cars abandoned and I can't even say it is the side of the road because you can't see it, so when snow subsides, they are blocking the road.

Oh, and Tesco is closed :pac:

Don't be too hard on them, they must have run out of bread. Absolutely incredible scenes. I imagine this surpasses the snowfall of 1982 at this stage for those who have witnessed both.

Creative83 · 02-03-2018 03:19PM

Looks like Dublin is in for some heavy stuff very shortly according to the radar

wicklowdub · 02-03-2018 03:20PM

Thick snow falling in Greystones now after being light fall all day. I've another 3-4 mm after a brief thaw earlier. If that band off the Wicklow coast keeps providing fuel then it could be a long night.

Danno · 02-03-2018 03:20PM

Constant heavy snow here in South Laois for the last 4hrs almost. After last night's snizzle fest, Emma is making up for lost time.

david75 · 02-03-2018 03:20PM

Stunning photo. It snowed on the pyramids for the first time in 112 years

DOCARCH · 02-03-2018 03:20PM

Decent light to moderate snow in Dublin 16 and accumulating/sticking to the path I cleared earlier. -0.2c DP -1.0c.

Slashermcguirk · 02-03-2018 03:21PM

Sustained heavy snow in raheny now, great to see after a quiet morning

Markgc · 02-03-2018 03:21PM

Lady in Longford had to ring-up Joe Duffy in Dublin for help for sick husband.
Where's the community?

Everybody stop posting and ensure your vulnerable neighbours are not in need.
Many can be too proud or shy to ask for assistance.
They may need a little fuel, food, milk..

Gonzo · 02-03-2018 03:21PM

snow getting going here again, but is having no real impact. Well over an inch of snow has thawed since 10am. Still hoping some of the heavier snowfall over the Irish sea will make it's way here later this evening and have more of an impact.

rafared · 02-03-2018 03:22PM

Serious thaw underway in Drogheda. Everything gone slushy very quickly.

Cushtie · 02-03-2018 03:23PM

Still snowing away here in West Limerick. Constant now since about 10pm last night. Not heavy but constant and all staying on the ground. Local road fairly bad but 4x4's getting on ok. Went for a walk earlier. Beautiful. Quiet. The local shop about a mile away, a one man operation, was open and doing a roaring trade.!! No sign of a thaw either.

Relentless

Up to a balmy 3 degrees at Malin Head.

I just cleared my driveway!

LookingFor · 02-03-2018 03:25PM

It hasn't stopped snowing here since 9 or so (D15).

It's still gusty snow, too. Between the snow on the ground and the constant snowing it's worse than yesterday for sure.

The place is dead though...whatever about the lifting of that advisory, seems like no one here is going out. I'm getting some serious cabin fever myself.

It just needs to push north to Portmarnock now! Snowing lightly here.

Ha wasn't there a scene in some disaster movie ,( maybe day after tomorrow..?) where it started snowing at the pyramids and that was the sign of disasters to come

wheresthebeef · 02-03-2018 03:26PM

Those of you wishing for more snow, please stop. Some of us have been trapped in work for 72 hours now with no replacements and are wallfallen. Those of us working in Healthcare are dying to get home.
