Any idea if dublin bus will be back operating tomorrow?

They said they planned to be back tomorrow but would reassess in the morning.

Doubt there'll be anything more than a handful of buses on, if even that.

Still snowing in Tramore in Waterford, though very fine at the moment. I don't think it has stopped for about 36 hours. Very variable depth, but there appears to be about 6 inches on the road with much greater amounts in the gardens where it has drifted and is over garden walls in places.

its up to people knees here in waterford on our street and like you fine snow still falling.

If it is running it will be seriously curtailed. Local roads in Dublin 16 are generally terrible and impassible for a bus.

Yeah I don't think they will be able to run, their last update from 3 hours ago says they most likely will be running. But I'm guessing they will announce later tonight that it's cancelled tomorrow

Grange, Dublin 13 today. I think I'm setting records now for my own area.

Stunning pics Syran.

I think it would be an idea to set up a thread dedicated solely to the fantastic pics posted on this one, because this thread is moving way to fast and the pics are likely to be lost forever!

Anyone considering driving in south Dublin, don't unless you have four wheel drive. Just back from walking the dog in Ballycullen, cars coming to a stop in front of me and loads abandoned on the road heading towards Firhouse exit on M50. Visibility is very poor. Most estates are now completely snowed in, we had 29cm this morning, a further 10 cm has fallen on what was cleared, drifts are significant in places now.

Still snowing here in south Kilkenny, it hasn’t stopped all day. We’re closed off from the rest of the world

Whereabouts? North of the county not as bad.

Slashermcguirk · 02-03-2018 06:42PM

Conditions deteriorating even more (in a good way). Visibility lower now in raheny, stepped out and snow pummeling the face!

Just wondering what are chances of driving to Dublin (Crumlin Children's Hospital) to be precise from Laois.
Looking at webcams, it seems fairly ok as far as Naas. 2 nurses are trying get from Clondalkin to work in ICU in Children's hospital. They have exhausted every posibility at this stage and now are talking about walking which takes hour & half in good weather. I'm tempted to see about driving up to give them a lift. Any suggestions would be greatfully accepted.

Did they put a request out on public media? They are not too far from hospital if someone had a land rover or tractor. Would the army not bring them they are essential staff. I don't think you'd have a hope getting from Laois. Weather very nasty now in Dublin.

looksee · 02-03-2018 06:43PM

Yes I think I was a bit conservative with the 6 inches, my daughter went out earlier and she said it was really too deep to walk. I aint going nowhere!

Mobhi1 · 02-03-2018 06:43PM

Snow seems to be heavier than ever this afternoon in D11. The temperature's dropping again too - it's gone sub-zero again after having been positive since morning. It's now -0.2/-1.8C. There's 18cm of snow.

Snowbie · 02-03-2018 06:44PM

Heaviest snow of this spell, much heavier than the Blizzard last night.
Low visiblitiies and gusty winds accumulating quickly. Drifts much higher than earlier.

0.1C
Dp -0.8C

Why is the TV3 "mid west" correspondent in Kilkenny ffs?

I respectfully disagree. Cork city will get precipitation alright but it might not be snow!

The front seem to be disintegrating over a lot of Cork. I don't expect anything too heavy from now on.

r93kaey5p2izun · 02-03-2018 06:44PM

Not surprised to hear of nurses stranded in Clondalkin. Peamount Hospital as also appealed for help getting their staff in from Finstown Hotel. Says the defence forces can't get to them.

erica74 · 02-03-2018 06:44PM

Finally stopped snowing in South Kilkenny!!

There is a weather picture forum already for that.

MJohnston · 02-03-2018 06:45PM

I was sitting earlier looking out at all my neighbours wearing themselves out for hours clearing and shovelling snow off their driveways...not even 3 hours later and all of it is completely buried again.

I seriously wonder how people are so bad at understanding forecasts...or maybe they did understand but just wanted away from their husbands or wives for a couple of hours

Malahide getting hammered at the moment and forecast to last all night :eek:

Once temps drop after dark expect the precip to get a bit more snow like.

Currently visibility at Dublin Airport is as low as 700m. Complicated 1700Z TAFs decoded below for Dublin and Cork.

TAF: EIDW 021700Z
0218/0318 08028G38KT 3000 -SN SCT008 BKN020 - next 24hrs light snow generally (exceptions below)
TEMPO 0218/0303 0800 SN BLSN OVC002 - 1800-0300 moderate snow, blowing snow, visibility 800m (nearly as bad as last night)
TEMPO 0218/0221 09033G43KT -1800-2100 wind gusting to 43kts
BECMG 0221/0223 09022G35KT - 2100-2300 wind gusting to 35kts
BECMG 0303/0305 9999 NSW - 0300-0500 no significant weather
TEMPO 0303/0312 4000 -SNRA BKN009 - 0300-1200 light sleet (more snow than rain)
BECMG 0306/0309 10018G28KT - 0600-0900 wind gusting to 28kts

For some it may be difficult to discern tonight from last night. Still a red warning although metoeroligically not a blizzard, hence the stay indoors warning not in place. Visibility while only 800m for a time would still be 400% better than at the worst point last night.

EICK 021700Z
0218/0318 05015KT 2000 -SN SCT003 BKN005 - next 24hrs light snow generally (exceptions below)
TEMPO 0218/0224 1000 SNRA BKN003 - 1800-2400 Sleet (more snow than rain)
TEMPO 0300/0305 9999 NSW 0000-0500 no significant weather
BECMG 0305/0307 10017KT 9999 NSW BKN015 - as above lower cloudbase
TEMPO 0306/0309 11022G32KT 3000 -RASN BKN010 - 0600-0900 Sleet (more rain than snow)
BECMG 0308/0311 11014KT - 0800-1100 winds 14kts
TEMPO 0309/0318 4000 -RA BKN010 - 0900-1800 tomorrow light rain

if this verifies, rebels should anticipate perhaps a sligtly faster thaw than Gerry suggested. Cork is at 500ft above the city so temps where most people live will be even higher.

Skedaddle · 02-03-2018 06:46PM

People need to have a bit more cop on. We were walking in Cork City and a car skidded behind us nearly wiping us out! It was on a very narrow road without pedestrian pavements and we were not expecting any cars.

It's not suitable for driving. Please have some sense as there are a lot of walkers about.

Seeing a very gradual thaw in Cork. (Lough) More path visible if only by an inch or two. Sorry !

Very likely a reload of snow for south and Midlands from around midnight to sunrise.
