Severe Weather Snow / Ice Weds 28 FEB ( Onwards ) ** READ MOD NOTE POST#1**

No snow today in Sligo
Made a sprinkle lastnight
1 degree but nasty wind making it feel much colder

My husband drove from our house to Ennistymon which is about two miles max away. He was shaking after the drive. He counted 15 skids.

Don't even think about going out. It's lethal out there.

Very. Very fine powder snow in goatstown (Dublin) at them moment. Hoping it picks up and gets a bit heavier!

Paschal is on now

Paschal hasn't moved from Washington street. He must be staying in jurys.

Having had a look at his twitter feed and some of the pictures he's taking it seems not.

Its actually gotten even heavier here in Kildare with huge new accumulations, my car is almost totally encased in snow now and drifts are getting bigger and bigger. I'm in disbelief at this stage, even with all the amazing charts I wasn't expecting anything close to this much snow

I don't understand why people are letting their vehicles and driveways become encased in snow. (I'm in North Kildare too). It is going to be a nightmare to shift compacted, frozen snow. I've shifted it every day even though I have no intention of going anywhere (couldn't if I tried).

Snow is starting to form a light dusting on our cars that we cleared of the big snow accumulation today. Ground is very wet though.

Looting in a Lidl in Citywest!

Well covered here (north kildare) with dry powder again after similar.

Tallaght is getting worse by the minute. Could see the entire roof of the car this afternoon (cleared yesterday) and its invisible again with 2-3" of snow. All cars on street are going invisible one by one.

True he did make it up to south mall around the corner!

Keelin confirms that the 'East Coast' means Dublin really as far as the NECC is concerned. I knew it. I knew it.

Sure that's hardly a shock. Waterford is the south according to TV3. Paul Byrne must be sick of standing in Waterford.

Same here. Though another poster was laughing at people clearing their drives.

I've no intention of moving the car but if I absolutely need to at least I can. Waiting for a thaw seems folly.

I thought she said the “south east really means the Dublin area, doesn’t it” - which had me slightly confused
