No snow, just wild gusts in Roscommon.
Power flickered a few times, but thankfully we didn't lose it.
Hoping for some more interesting shapes in the snow tomorrow.
The drifts today were quite spectacular.

Steopo · 02-03-2018 11:53PM

Snow that fell in Donabate since 5pm is starting to thaw already. If more showers don't pep up we could lose a good bit by morning.

sunbabe08 · 02-03-2018 11:56PM

no more snow for cork city.

: its been a fun 3 days

StringerBell · 02-03-2018 11:58PM

Back to work tomorrow by the looks of it

John.Icy · 02-03-2018 11:59PM

Continuing madness in D9. Making up for last night.

Precip getting juicy over the midlands now too. Shame about the Dublin radar being on the bounce, hard to see what's really heading our way as it's getting heavier here but radar suggests very weak precip.

There is still snow on the ground though.

Lashing snow in Portlaoise nowðŸ˜€

All the doubters will never admit they were wrong. They'll come out with guff like:
"Oh but Met Eireann said up to 1m and I only got 95cm"

Or

"Yeah but my back garden was fine so every other blade of grass in the country must have been fine too"

Or

"Look at meeeeeee"

Anyway, -0.3c in Lucan currently.
We headed out to the in-laws at 4 and came back at 8. All our footprints were completely covered by the time we got back.
Serious amount of snowfall even over the afternoon and early evening. Just very windy now.

Same here, far better than last night but radar shows it as very weak. Leaves me confused.

Moderate snow in Limerick

Compensating a lot on previously bare surfaces, sides of cars, etc for the thaw earlier, and the total depth is more for the snow on the ground that didn't melt much. Must be 10-15 cm lying now on those bits.

Daffodil.d · 03-03-2018 12:02AM

We had a very slight thaw here in Waterford this evening around 3 to 4 ish. But it didn't stop snowing. And even during the small periods of time that it was more like light rain it seemed to be freezing on the way down so it kept accumulating. The temps went from -2° up to 1° for short period.we have several feet of snow lying.I just can't believe we didn't fall into the red warning area. I'm in the East of the city. I have to work tomorrow morning at 9. So I'm walking. My car is under 2 foot of snow. And it's growing again.ðŸ˜¯

hmmm · 03-03-2018 12:02AM

Is 3 degrees during the day enough to melt the snow that has already fallen? If it does warm up tomorrow, what is likely to happen?

highdef · 03-03-2018 12:02AM

Had there been a sudden and very significant increase in snowfall rates across the Midlands, in a band from Wicklow and West from there? Radar would suggest very heavy snow. If it's correct, the likes of Naas will be seeing extremely heavy snow shortly.

whattodo1 · 03-03-2018 12:03AM

Lashing snow again In tinahely co wicklow
We had snow up to our waist today and 7/8 foot drifts we cant get out of where we are.

SkepticQuark · 03-03-2018 12:04AM

Snowing at the same intensity as it was this time last night on the border between Tipp and Limerick, window sills that were cleared today now getting covered again at a decent rate.

dubal · 03-03-2018 12:06AM

Lashing snow in Dublin 14 again, after a break.

ARated · 03-03-2018 12:07AM

Been bucketing in balgriffin since about 4pm. Had 15cm in the garden this morning. Up to about 20cm now. Gonna be some drifts tomorrow.

McMurphy · 03-03-2018 12:11AM

We've had more or less non stop snow now since Wednesday evening.

Absolutely unreal.

There was thaws today in places that were 1 degree with no sun. If theres some sun and 3 degrees and some rain the snow will melt very quickly

Doubtitdub · 03-03-2018 12:13AM

Went for a walk a while ago in D11, crazy wind and very deep drifts some cul de sacs completly snowed in with them, up to waist and higher.

Been snowing here all day , good covering this afternoon and getting heavy again, hopefully get a few more hours out of it!

Been the best day here for covering!

Captain Snow · 03-03-2018 12:14AM

I could go on but theres so many...

Pat Dunne · 03-03-2018 12:14AM

Apologies, if this has already been asked of the Experts. What is the longest recorded snow fall in Ireland?

My reason for asking is that in my part of the world Dublin 15, it has not stopped snowing since 5:00 pm yesterday afternoon.
