Blizzard d14. Real blizzard

Public transport won't be able to continue near Santry if this keeps up. Seriously bad conditions.

Never in your lifetime will there be an event like this on March 18th, so enjoy it!

We had snow on the 22 march last year

diarmuid79 · 18-03-2018 09:42AM

Some rador for snow in the east coast ðŸ˜€

Artane2002 · 18-03-2018 09:42AM

Looks like this may keep up for hours going by radar.

Kermit.de.frog · 18-03-2018 09:43AM

This is AMAZING

Greater Dublin, cold + snow aggregate, you won't ever see it again.

There was a tiny covering in Lucan but its almost all melted now. none sticking to the roads at all.

It’s hardly melting is it? It’s below 0 degrees. Maybe it’s jusy gettting blown by the wind. That’s the case a couple of miles away in clonsilla anyway

_Kaiser_ · 18-03-2018 09:44AM

Portlaoise a few minutes ago..

KayeQ · 18-03-2018 09:44AM

Castledermot, Kildare. Still snowing here, light but continuous snow.

Scubadevils · 18-03-2018 09:44AM

Absolutely bucketing down now here in Lusk, bliss.

8 am depths:

2 cm at Dublin and Casement airports.

EDIT: Sorry, read it wrong. Dublin 1 cm at 8 am.

Got it wrong, Dublin depth was 1 cm at 8 am, not 2.

pistolpetes11 · 18-03-2018 09:45AM

Newbridge , white Gold everywhere , the only question I have was it there when I got home this morning

RiseToMe · 18-03-2018 09:45AM

So after our London trip was cancelled on the last event, we managed to reschedule to this weekend and are here now, back Tuesday. How long is this to last? Wondering about getting back to Dublin Airport from London city on Tuesday afternoon

Was getting worried about MT's sleet mention for coastal districts but its now blizzard like in Bray. Looks like that LOW from the UK has made it across the Irish Sea and is producing in a big way otherwise last night would have made this event a major damp squib.

How could there be sleet, not possible until after 3pm today.

Obviously graupel etc is possible .

jds0ur · 18-03-2018 09:47AM

Whiteout here, think this is heavier than 2 weeks ago :O

Morby · 18-03-2018 09:49AM

Snowing very lightly in Galway now

There was a decent covering on the slightly higher levels in the south east. Usually only a dusting this late

Street is thawing for sure here and some thaw on the car windows as well

erica74 · 18-03-2018 09:50AM

Aww I feel so left out:( I want the lovely snow blanket again boohoohoo!

Scubadevils · 18-03-2018 09:50AM

These are definitely the heaviest falls I've witnessed in Lusk - it has got so dark out and huge amounts falling, incredible. Grass becoming covered now too. I think this is heavier than at any point during the spell a couple of weeks ago.

gormdubhgorm · 18-03-2018 09:50AM

I was looking up m50 cameras and the m4 camera was going to travel to salthill galway to see Dubs game.

m50

m4

https://www.motorwaycameras.co.uk/ireland/m4/ireland-cameras/traffic-camera/1552

It is not as bad as the "beast from the east".
But it still looks dodgy for driving.
Not worth it for a game with nothing on it to freeze me bits off.
Think I am not going chance it might be a frozen pitch (it's salthill after all wasn't that where Theresa Mannion was with her unnecessary journeys bit?.)

But, Connacht won't seem to get the brunt of this according to met eireann

http://www.met.ie/forecasts/regional.asp?Prov=Connacht

"Today will be very cold. Highest temperatures of just 2 to 4 degrees in a moderate to fresh and gusty east to north-easterly wind. It will be dry in the north-west. In the east and south of the province there will be a few light snow showers. There will be some sunshine at times."

For those talking about going to Dublin Airport to greet the rugby team, please note this tweet and save yourself the trip.

grenouille1966 · 18-03-2018 09:51AM

Dublin airport must have several cm at this stage..I imagine it will close for a while to clear the runways and to de-ice.

BLIZZARD7 · 18-03-2018 09:52AM

Getting absolutely plastered in D14 now!

Artane2002 · 18-03-2018 09:52AM

Not as heavy as last time here but still heavy. Tapering out as a dry gap comes near us before more of the heavy stuff.

RobertKK · 18-03-2018 09:52AM

The snow drifts are back on hills of north Kilkenny.
