I don't understand how Waterford isn't included in the updated red warning. It has been snowing here since 8am yesterday morning and no sign of letting up. The road is still covered in a huge amount of snow.

Echoed my thoughts exactly Erica

Ok Snow has won todays battle with the thaw even at sea level (Pearse Street D2)

Starting to stick again ..filling in the gaps on roofs and foot prints ..this could be a full weekend of slow snow falling seing how slow its moving onshore ,,and lying snow will keep temps down I think ...lets hope the thaw is slow also ..no need for flooding now after this.

That red warning for Dublin, will have Lucan under pressure. Back garden almost up to my window now and that's not the drifts.

Garseys · 02-03-2018 05:22PM

Drifts here in Tallaght easily approaching a metre now. There’s been no let up!

spoonerhead · 02-03-2018 05:22PM

Snow starting to really stick again, massive accumulations the last ten minutes in D12

thebull85 · 02-03-2018 05:23PM

Red alert in Dublin till 9am saturday

Kermit.de.frog · 02-03-2018 05:23PM

Accumulating fast now on all surfaces. Really coming down fast.

Vxlks · 02-03-2018 05:24PM

its been snowing heavily here in D14 for about 6 hours now. its accumulating like mad in the last 1 1/2 hours too! My railings had no snow on them due to thaw, now they're back to what they were on wednesday morning! and still more to come too. jesus christ. :eek:

Idk if you've seen MT's forecast but he predicts more large snowfalls in large parts of the country today and tonight

Cheers, just seen his latest update. Big night ahead for some I think, even worse than the last few days.

Strumms · 02-03-2018 05:25PM

It’s unreal, never have experienced such heavy sustained snowfall and it’s getting worse....in Glasnevin and total white out &#55357;&#56883;

Anybody seen the reporter on sky news in Sallins - the place looks like the Antarctic!

You should see Dundrum and feels like Siberia out here.

Eoin247 · 02-03-2018 05:26PM

They keep repeating on the news that people have cabin fever, and cant stay put much longer....

...Jesus christ it's been one day lads.

How would these people survive in an actual crisis?

thelad95 · 02-03-2018 05:26PM

North Kildare does seem to have gotten the absolute worst of it by far, walking around Maynooth, there is 5 foot in many places and it's up to the door handle on my front door. Absolutely zero reprieve in terms of either thaw or the snow stopping.

Slashermcguirk · 02-03-2018 05:27PM

Relentless snow now in dublin 5, no thaw and I am right next to the coast. Just incredible, roads had been cleared quite well in the estate and now accumulating again.

Brainz · 02-03-2018 05:27PM

In palmerstown at the moment, threatened a slight thaw and then all of a sudden boom more accumulations from the fine snow, need to trek back to Clondalkin soon so that will be fun

I've had snow on the ground here since Tuesday night.

Many have

Big time, more than the last 10 hours in ten min

Artane2002 · 02-03-2018 05:28PM

I was a bit annoyed at the small snowflakes last night. At this point I'll take anything that accumulates quickly, like what the snow is doing right now.

Yes, predicted to change to rain and thaw begins

Is that for all areas or just along the south coast, though?

jdcv94 · 02-03-2018 05:28PM

This lamp post is a meter in height and stands on a block. Unbelievable stuff in North Wexford 150m asl. Some drifts are 7/8ft, could almost climb up to the roof from them. Once in a lifetime fall this.

aidanodr · 02-03-2018 05:28PM

Great to see the army lads in action. They came by with the ESB today to sort out 1700+ people in Carrigaline who had no Electricity:

I live Mac Ulliam, the estate is totally blocked. Every cm of the road is under a meter of snow and compacted ice. Ive no idea how long it will take to be dug out. There are some people snowed into their houses. Im convinced i wont be able to get the car out on Monday for work, i'm a bit concerned now because the snow hasn't stopped for a second today and if it continues tonight then god knows what tomorrow will look like. The Red Warning was totally justified.

Kiith · 02-03-2018 05:29PM

Any more due in Kildare tonight?

Cork Boy 53 · 02-03-2018 05:30PM

I would think that away from elevated ground most of the snowfall will be gone in the south by tomorrow afternoon. Flooding problems will be the next issue.

Taken refuge in The Goat myself, will deal with getting home later.
