I am really not looking forward to the thaw in cork city tomorrow / the rain that will come. Everythings going to be soaking, unless its actually going to stay as snow for longer then expected again, who knows.

It's hard to believe - everything here is covered again, and it's still snowing

Cantona's Collars · 02-03-2018 10:50PM

The winds picked up again in Wexford and sideways snow back again. It's that needles that fell last night,for tiny flakes it doesn't take long to build up.

John.Icy · 02-03-2018 10:51PM

Some much larger flakes into the mix now, presumably wetter snow...getting more marginal in D9 perhaps??

ninebeanrows · 02-03-2018 10:51PM

Good accumulations from approx 2pm in Dublin 1. Started as thick wet flakes that made not much impression then turned to fine flakes and now very fine grains, around 5cm added which has covered the everywhere again allowing it to look nice and white once more. I doubt things will happen at all tomorrow in Dub CC, it will be worse than this morning- so cant see how it can.

Due to go to work in the morning from Carrigaline to Mahonpoint area, someone seems to think it will all be thawed out by then ! funnily enough snowing all day in Carrigaline, way more on the ground now no sign of thaw and still snowing.

Will know things are moving back to normal when first airplane takes off from airport

MT Cranium should be on The Late Late Show.

Whats the temperature in south dublin at the moment? It says -1 on my weather app but theres water all over my window sill so I think its above 0.

-1 here too, maybe heat from your house causing the melting?

munsterlegend · 02-03-2018 10:54PM

I am surprised at the amount of snowfall again near Mallow. I have had my snow buzz and glad tomorrow will be the start of the end of it.

-1 isn't far off the mark, on my side of town its -0.6c.

Snow seems to be picking up intensity here in Naas now.I think we have been in the edge of the wicklow mountain shadow for the past couple of hours with little snowfall. However last hour the winds have changed to a ENE instead of a Easterly.

Assuming the roads in Ringaskiddy are similar to those in Passage, where I am, there’s not a chance. A foot of snow on roads here and still snowing. Few inches in last few hours.

JOHN_70 · 02-03-2018 10:55PM

Heavy snow again in FErmoy, Co. Cork. Already more on my car than accumulated last night

sliabh 1956 · 02-03-2018 10:56PM

Its snowing again in Ennis/Clarecastle and staying on the ground as well there was a slight thaw earlier

SleetAndSnow · 02-03-2018 10:57PM

Happy the snow was cleared off my families cars today, looking at the other cars on the road they have huge tops now. Would be worried about damage to the top. My families cars are already back to what they were before we cleared them.. at 5pm today.. Crazy amount has fallen in such little time now. Looks like it will be stopping soon though if the radar is correct.

Cazale · 02-03-2018 10:58PM

No snow in Newbridge four hours now.

farseaboutace · 02-03-2018 10:59PM

It's still snowing in Leixlip.

I don't think it'll ever stop. And if it thaws I think we'll flood

asteroids over berlin · 02-03-2018 11:00PM

thankfully it appears there is a change tomorrow. Goodbye snow, nice few days now fcuk off and bring on Spring!

lilmissprincess · 02-03-2018 11:00PM

Needing to get from Southside to Hollyhill tomorrow. Am questioning if it's going to be a possibility given that it's still snowing...

pad199207 · 02-03-2018 11:01PM

It has remained at -1c in Naas all day today so another ice day coming up

...there is not so much as a snowflake here in SW Donegal tonight, surely this must be up there with the all-time great snow events in this country.

It honestly has not stopped snowing in celbridge all day and more due all night. Wonder what I'll wake up to tomorrow.
Water gone too here in parts of celbridge!

I've quite likely lost a cat to this storm, sadly. The guilt is like a billiard ball in my chest/under my skin.

I was looking after someone's cat and I warned them that he was a nervous wreck due to local, uneutered cats.. He wasn't making himself available for food/to be fed.. and to maybe put him up in care, no.. said they'd chance it. I haven't seen him in 48 hours.

He weathered the last two flurries okay, over the years, by making himself available to various neighbours, but.. it is brutal now, the road and gardens are spotless, no details to mark them out. Drifts everywhere. Well above the height of a cat.

Our regular fox, like clockwork, is doing his rounds of the gardens, same time, same tracks, the only disturbance in the snow.

Last 20 threads on this are just chat and there's a million posts to read through....the snow is falling worse now and I'm loving it but they say was to stop and there was no talk of it snowing like it is now.......do you think this will stop tomorrow or is there other things that can happen to make thos prolong like it is now?

diceyd · 02-03-2018 11:07PM

Couple front today

Kind of doesn't sound like it your fault, though.

It was good yeh but one metre of snow was meant to fall in south dublin which didn't even come close to happening anywhere in dublin county

They said it might. Even a third of that amount is a huge fall of snow by Irish standards and we got a bit more than that.

Where I am, the Tuesday and Wednesday night snow amounted to around 20-30cm. Last night piled more on top of that. So we had copious amounts before today in Dublin 15.

Hooter23 · 02-03-2018 11:08PM

Snow moving back up toward Galway again...
