    Got up, cleared the snow off the car, got a few hundred meters sideways, abandoned ship and walked home. Snow is frozen solid. No morning for RWD.

    In longford but in the sticks, completely snow covered. Roads not gritted, no sounds of cars on the main road which is unusual. Far too risky to drive at the moment. Hoping for a thaw?

    Have pics but it won't let me upload

    Hardly just in the last few minutes? I drove through Naas just before 5am and there was no sign of anything.

    With all these depths surely an Orange Snow warning should have been effective...

    Brings into question warnings once more

    It wasn't much, if you were driving you may not of seen it but standing on the platform you could see it in the street lights.

    Family rang in from Cork and said they’ve been snowed in, just outside of Rochestown. Not too deep but they live quite high up so the roads would be fairly lethal in this weather.

    Not a flake fell in Dublin overnight I’d imagine but the charts this morning are still divided over tomorrow, the GFS/GFSP and some of the short range models still go for some sleet/snow reaching Dublin and the east coast later on but Harmonie has a very weak front crossing the country before it fizzles out.

    N4 at Edgeworthstown in Longford was in a terrible state this morning. No sign of gritters or snowplough. Bad form from the council.

    God tomorrow is frustratingly hard to figure out. Need to travel Dublin to north mayo either tonight after 6 or tomorrow. It looks like it will be horrible frosty and foggy tonight so tomorrow with rain would be better but then I’d met Éireann and Harmonie under egged it I could end up in snow showers. Grr. Decisions decisions

    Just looking at BBC weather there and it looks like tomorrow evening could be interesting for Wicklow, bands of showers coming in from the sea. Hard to tell exactly as she was standing over most of southern half of the country. A lot of snow forecast for the Wales and southern England tomorrow.
