Snowing in Dublin 11. Thaw is on but snow is starting to come down quite decently again. Forecast was for rain.

Natibaby · 03-03-2018 11:15AM

Snowing again in Ballycullen, very very slight thaw on, it's 0.3c, but it could be just the weight of the snow falling of everything.

My parents are planning to go to Killarney this evening and I keep gettting text messages asking will it be safe. I don't know what to say.

Ask them to check the AA website...

Thaw very slow but is on in West Clare.

I really hope so.. with all my warnings to people we only really have enough supplies for another day! I thought the local farmers might come out and shift a bit of it from the roads

but no.... I cant see how we are going to be able to get out or anyone in to our area, hills on each way in and out to main roads...... I hope it starts to rain

Naos · 03-03-2018 11:18AM

So this thaw question - should we be out shoveling the driveway to prevent any flooding?

Really?, light rain here.

The forecast was for snow turning to rain, seems to have evolved the other way around here in D6 at the minute, but I would guess it will eventually settle back to rain. Significant thaw in progress.. Back to sleet as I type.

Is there a group that deals with unwanted or half-finished snowmen?
Some of them are looking very down.

Our little snow creation is still surviving.

Looks pretty damn freaky though lol

Snowing again in Tara, Meath. Temp has dropped to freezing again and very slow thaw has stopped for now.

Donegal Storm · 03-03-2018 11:23AM

Still snowing in Kildare, assuming it stopped for a while overnight but there's a fresh 10cm or so since it got dark yesterday. Big thaw on already though, going to get very messy later

Snowing d 16

antodeco · 03-03-2018 11:24AM

I can't help but feel like this thaw and snowing is like powering your laptop from its own USB ports

cherryghost · 03-03-2018 11:25AM

Absolute chaos here in Clondalkin. Fire engine, ambulance, 2 jeeps and 2 cars stuck in a small stretch of road. And I think the council is to blame here. The tractors with ploughs moved around the speedbump shoving large amounts of snow back onto the road

How has it been up there?

muddypaws · 03-03-2018 11:28AM

In West Sligo this morning, I finally got the crunch. A house full of huskies, so have been watching the rest of the country with envy, snowing steadily today, small flakes but accumulating, so am hopeful of getting out for a proper play later on. And I'm sure I heard thundersnow about 20 minutes ago, the dogs went mad barking at it.

homolumo · 03-03-2018 11:28AM

Snow to sleet to rain since early morning here in Co. Waterford. Thaw had started even with snow falling.

Forecast was rain in the south gradually moving north but still some snow further north. The arrival of rain will be gradual and remember one degree difference between rain and snow.

If only we had vehicles that could travel slower than 50km in built up areas without speedbumps.

Ah was hoping for another day off Monday - darn

polydactyl · 03-03-2018 11:35AM

What’s going on at Crumlin. Is it really bad there? FB posts about nurses stranded even when they drive in they can’t park and nurses trying to dig themselves out.

Ha ha crazy I actually can’t describe it anymore 8 feet drifts in places

There used to be a road somewhere
I wonder what glencree and further up is like

xsartre · 03-03-2018 11:39AM

I'm planning on driving from Cavan to Wexford Town this morning. Am I OK if I stick to motorways & main roads?

sunbabe08 · 03-03-2018 11:44AM

i'm not kidding there are snow flakes falling in the northside of cork city

Snowing in Perrystown but a definite thaw has set in. This is the part I hate. When it's gone, it's gone and I can deal with that but it breaks my heart a little every time I look out the window and it's receded a little more from my reference point.

Going to take the dog out now while it's still lovely and thick on the ground. Still not sure I'll get home to Ballycullen today even with the thaw beginning.

Huge snow drifts here in Ballycullen still plus it's actually snowing at the moment, would be very careful if I were you.

Kermit.de.frog · 03-03-2018 11:46AM

Thaw underway in Santry. Rain, sleet and a little snow currently. Temp 1.0c.

Strumms · 03-03-2018 11:47AM

I can understand people with jobs such as those in the medical profession, Gardai etc attempting to make it to work or indeed anyone involved in providing critical services / care but there is NO requirement for anyone else to be out and about just sheer selfishness... it times like these that you see the best in people but the most absolute stupidity too.
