    Imagine ireland was more influenced by its eastern airmasses during winter time and it regularly ended up mixing with strong atlantic storms coming from our west..ireland would probably be world famous for having the most amazing snow storms on earth!

    Very light snow in Rush, it’s not sticking and most of what we had is melting away. Surprised the proper stuff didn’t hit here!

    Absolutely bucketing down in D18 the last hour, proper snow too and not the pellets we had yesterday.

    I called into my next door elderly neighbours twice now. They're too proud to open the door. They'll hunker down until they can put the glad rags on and head to the boozer again.

    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.

    Very fine snow here again on the coast in Donabate. Had been thawing so can't really seeing it sticking.

    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.

    Yeah because WISHING for snow has any impact on what the weather will actually do. Rolling my eyes so hard

    I just cleared my driveway!

    When i lived with harsh winters. I would always rather clear my drive in heavy snow and get rid of the 10 inches at a time than try clear a few feet at the end altogether.

    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.

    I asked the neighbour how it compares and he reckons this is worse.
    Back then, while bad, the roads were worse and we didn't have the modern infrastructure. Of course no way of saying for sure, but all I can say that at least in Naas it is incredible scenes.
    The most dramatic part which is impossible to get across in this forum is the howling wind and side ways snow and ice forced into the side of your face.

    It's deadly!:pac:

    Was out again there and it's definitely thawed a bit since earlier despite snowing all day (D12). Hopefully it doesn't thaw too much before dark and a (presumed) drop in temps again.

    I know people are like "Yay, this is proper snow, not the pellets" but this stuff is much wetter and is probably contributing to the thaw. The pellets are nice and dry.

    Fairly persistent snow in D7, starting to stick on the less well used roads.

    As soon as the snow got heavy the temperature dropped quickly from 1.5c to 1.0c. Theres hope but only if it continues for hours and not minutes!

    decent snow starting to fall again after a long lull. Hopefully we will get further sticking again in Dunshaughlin.

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

    Unbelievable alright, it's 27c in Cairo today

    Meanwhile the chances of accumulations from this shower in Donabate are very slim.

    Is there any more snow for North Leinster? Drogheda hasn't seen much all day and bit of a thaw going on

    Been a lot of snow in North Africa this year. There's plenty of shots on the web of Saharan sand dunes covered in snow from a few weeks back.

    Hi guys. Just wondering if anyone has any idea of when this snow will let up and maybe some thawing might happen? Sorry to the snow lovers, but really need to get to Dublin airport from D16/24 area on Sunday morning and getting really worried as it is vital we get out that day. Thanks!
