I bet a neighbour has him. We had our neighbour's cat for a few hours yesterday and my daughter's friend had a dog for 24 hours.

The snow is confusing them, but they'll be back I'm sure.

Still bucketing down in raheny, what a snow event. So much snow since early afternoon. Went for a stroll and never thought I would see the day there would be about 20-25cm right next to the coast. Amazing to see

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.

Hopefully a neighbor saw sense and brought him in...

There are two dedicated threads on the Lidl incident.

Snowing here still in north Dublin but not very intense.

In the Llŷn shadow now (first time that term has been used) with only very light snow now. Can see it stretching from the Llŷn Peninsula in Wales to South Dublin if radar is accurate.

I was all aboard the hype train from the very start but even still I wasn’t prepared for today.
Ashbourne was absolutely insane today. It’s been snowing sonstantly for a couple of days but the accumulation today is in believable.

I genuinely thought the peak would have been Thursday PM in to Friday AM and then gone quiet but today is far more intense in very aspect than any other day.

For most of the day there has been heavy snow. I measured 28cm this morning and latest measurement is 43cm.
Stillorgan, Co Dublin

This is the most snow I've ever witnessed in this area.

Only downside of this spell is that it will probably be unbeatable for a long time; all snow events from now on (and this was the first real one in about 8 years, bar maybe the frontal events early this winter) will most likely pale in comparison to this. We really struck gold in terms of snow over the past few days.

Still very gusty in Ringsend, drifts up against the walls on the road outside reached up to my waist when I went out a few hours ago.

On both met and MW looks like a big finger of heavy intensity aimed straight at Dublin. I've said that a few times though over the last few days at this stage with approximately zero accuracy. :pac:

Has been snowing all day about 10 mins outside Ennis, the icing sugar snow. Stopped for two hours and started back about 20 mins ago with first proper looking snow Ive seen. Dunno what depth we got. Enough that lawn footpaths and driveway all blend into one and roads are undriveable bearing in mind we live in middle of nowhere!! Would be surprised if it isnt all shiny new snow in the morning at the rate its going!!
