It's the light snowy stuff coming down in Drogheda.. building slowly but steadily on car windows that had been cleared.. love all the pics posted..doesn't look like Ireland at all!!

I've got 2+ feet of snow on my driveway - its around 50 metres long. Our enterance is a standard sized entrance and there is a drift in there of around 3 feet. And the lane leading up to the main road is under 2 feet of snow too. Main road is (just) passable. I'm back to work on Monday. Unless there is a rapid thaw, which Met Eireann are not predicing, we could be having another snow day in this house on Monday.

Surprised it’s sticking again in Rush after such a thaw earlier!

Same with D13.

How has that precipitation in the Irish Sea just stayed pretty much in the same place all day?

I think it was up the arse of Emma. :pac:

Have to say - the local pub is leaping. Everyone in the estate is out on the street and chatting away, when normally you might only wave if you're leaving for/coming home from work at the same time. People are having fun throwing snowballs at the neighbours, or helping each other build igloos.

The snow is great for a bit of community spirit.

The bars around here have had to close as they ran out of drink!

Think it's starting to melt here a little bit in Navan

Shocked by the intensity of this snow this evening. Thought the worst (best) of it was over. Just measured 5 cms on the car bonnet which had been cleared of snow by the kids earlier. Must be around 35 cms of level snow with drifts getting a further top up. Tara, Meath.

There own fault, for saying they had bread in stock.

And not a loaf looted between any of them! :pac:

Snow bunnies are jumping around again in Donabate, starting to pile up. Really thought we’d finished our snow lot & were into a thaw phase but if this keeps up we’ll be matching Sallins by the morning.

Gonzo · 02-03-2018 08:20PM

snow is stopping here again, It looks from the radar that the snow is edging back to the coastline, shifting eastwards.

Easily another 3 to 4 inches fell here since snow resumed around 4pm.

munsterlegend · 02-03-2018 08:20PM

Snowing and accumulating here again near Mallow. Nothing like the east coast I'm sure but hopefully can add a few more cm as a final hurrah.

200motels · 02-03-2018 08:21PM

Stopped here in Waterford, I think that could very well be the end of it.

02-03-2018 08:21PM

Snowing again in Bishopstown, Cork after a break this afternoon. Went out for a walk in it and there was no thaw at all here.

Snow is not as powdery as yesterday but it is still beautiful. Not many cars out on the roads and an eerie, beautiful silence.

I actually think one of the upsides of an event like this is coming face to face with nature and then, as a result, being forced to go back to basics. We had to bake some biscuits today because we needed something sugary to eat. Kids playing in the snow rather than looking at iphones; communities coming together to help each other out etc.

Artane2002 · 02-03-2018 08:23PM

Very strong gusts with heavy (small) snow creating near zero visibility in Dublin 5. Very nice accumulations.

Same up my way, cleared the paths earlier but it was a pointless exercise

Sleeper12 · 02-03-2018 08:24PM

Here I am Dublin 5 and it was a none event for me last night. Since 1pm today we've seen a few inches of real snow and it's still falling.

Happy days

adam240610 · 02-03-2018 08:25PM

Just back in the house after being out since noon in Greystones. Hasn't stopped snowing the entire time. Sledding down the hills in the golf courses. I've lost count of the number of snowmen built and the number of igloos around. Great day, hope it's not another 35 years til the next one now!

The Rape of Lucretia · 02-03-2018 08:25PM

George Lee reckons the snow falling in Wicklow now is the wrong type of snow.

BarryD2 · 02-03-2018 08:25PM

What's the betting that many of those dying for a 'snow event' will be complaining tomorrow if their estate roads aren't snow ploughed by the council etc

Serious head high drifts on our roads, stiff enough and if it freezes will set like 'concrete'. Never seen a snow plough here in previous snows, so think it could be well into next week before any sort of motor transport is possible.

Ah well, could be worse, at least we have electricity & water!

It has been gradually thawing for the last couple of hours.

Back to reality in the morning, I guess?

Vxlks · 02-03-2018 08:26PM

How much is South Dublin expecting tonight?

I heard about another 10-20cm?!

Pinch Flat · 02-03-2018 08:27PM

More copious amounts of snow for east coast

Cushtie · 02-03-2018 08:28PM

Stopped here now in West Limerick for about 2 hours. Looks like that could be it, unless we get another belt of it overnight.
( still prob spend the next few hours peeping out the back door though, just in case like)

TII (transport infrastructure Ireland) said on rte news they're expecting more to fall in Dublin tonight than it did last night

Gazzmonkey · 02-03-2018 08:29PM

Finally stopped after 24hrs of powdery snowfall near Rathdrum, about 2ft deep at the moment, most fell overnight. I'm not sure I want to see any more snowfall though.

The local bar is having a Christmas party. Bishopstown, Cork
