Have you has enough of it Kittyn? Or do you mean you are sad it will end?

18Z ECM following just about every other model. Snow line to sea level until 9am. From 9am to 3pm snow line rises above ground from south to north.

There are potentially 15 hours of significant snowfall left. I feel worried for the likes of the picture above from Sallins, that is dangerously close to people being trapped.

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

Hope so looks like the front is pulling back into the Irish sea on the radar?

It looks like it's raining in D18 now.

Not sure if it's actually rain, but the windows have water drops all over them as if it was rain and that's the first time we've seen that during this whole storm. Maybe the snow is so fine now it's melting as soon as it hits a window.

It could be the heat from your house melting snow on your house.

Bucketing down in East Cork again and sticking.

Took a walk up a hill nearby here in Ladysbridge and found these amazing scenes. This is two miles from the coast!

Some of the drifts against the hedges were 12-14ft high....

Snowing again in Cork (Douglas) lol

Madness. I mean there is still a lot of snow on the ground in cork city. And it's gotten noticeable colder in cork city in the last half an hour. I know it's meant to change tomorrow but there has been a lot of snow compacted on roads in my estate. It was slippy earlier.

Not even close to being that.

I dont know about other folks, but here in my part of D16 this absolutely destroys 2010. Its frankly incredible. I am as excited as anyone else by snow. I have been delirious with excitement for the last few days but I honestly wouldn't mind if it stops now. Its starting to get a bit worrying.

Its not rain, temps have dropped below freezing again here thus the snowflakes are not so sticky anymore.

The much debate snow grains have returned.

Can't spell grain without rain

Front is retreating out to sea again unfortunately! Wonder will it push back later if models think we'll get more? So many unexpected twists and turns!

EDIT: Wonder is the radar just crap still. Need a few more updates.

Not rain. My windows have been streaming water all day in D14 and the snow keeps piling up.

Now still falling here in Bandon, Cork.

Basically been non-stop since I got out of bed at 8am.

We still have 25cm of snow here on the ground (with drifts of several feet) in rural Cork. It has also snowed without a break since 8am this morning though this does not seem to have affected the overall accumulation meaning that there is some thaw going on. Our country lane is impassable. Even if this thaw picks up pace and we get rain tonight instead of snow, I don’t see how we get out of here until Sunday at the earliest. Btw, there is a big blob of precipitation currently nearing the Cork coast.

If we have another night like last night my area will be cut off

Larbre34 · 02-03-2018 07:29PM

Wet claggy snowfall snarling things up here near Clonee worse than at anytime since the start on Tuesday night. Its like a sticky sugar icing on top of 60cms of light sponge. Drifts exceeding 2 meters on the roads heading out into the countryside.

Anywhere having overhead power infrastructure now needs to be vigilant, powerlines and tree boughs will be under huge load as the adhesive snow freezes after dark.

I am sad it will end, but it has to happen at some point, and i don't want to see people trapped in their homes, particularly if it's elderly people. It's becoming that serious now. I just hope Sryan is right that we might not have to wait that long for something even half as good as that, because i think we won't see the likes of this again in our life time.

wakka12 · 02-03-2018 07:30PM

The sky is lilac..must be some effect the snow is having. looks stunning

h7nlrp2v0g5u48 · 02-03-2018 07:31PM

Have we surpassed 82 I wonder? I remember the blizzard of 82 and going out and about earlier today and looking at the amount of snow that has fallen here in North Tipperary I'm sure it has broken some records.

JCX BXC · 02-03-2018 07:31PM

Still snowing in West Clare, no let up since 2pm yesterday. A slight thaw had begun here today as the temperature slowly reached a balmy 0.5c, however sticking again to wet surfaces as the temperature is dropping again (currently 0.1c).
