Snow Ice Warning for Ireland 29 Jan to 03 Feb 2019 *See Mod Note in OP *

Trip to work in Cork City was sketchy but manageable. Local roads around estate and as far as South link were not gritted.
Also noticed that the outside lane of the south link is still half covered in slush, which makes driving in that lane quite hazardous.
It seems 75% of people decided to work from home. Which is great for a gear head like me as it means I could rip the handbrake and slide it into any space I wanted

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

I gave the N4 a go earlier and Longford/Westmeath is quite bad - there's a track through the snow but it's still quite slippy. I turned back and went home again.

Big delays with trains as well.

Light dusting Rathcoole, Co. Dublin

Pat Clark on the radio said rain, sleet and snow tomorrow, the snow mainly on high ground. A possible dusting at lower levels as the band retreats back south later.

Completely at odds with their written forecast of significant accumulations and snow fields!! At least be consistent!

Going to be a dangerous drive to work this morning

-4c on the way in to work this morning, roads were fine though. Arrived into work with 1c showing, quite a difference in temperature over 50Km or so.

Where is that?

Met Eireann latest for tomorrow - in line with MT.

TOMORROW - THURSDAY 31ST JANUARY
Cold and windy on Thursday. Remaining frost, ice and fog soon clearing. The heavy rain will extend almost countrywide through the morning, preceded in places by some sleet or snow, with most of the snow on high ground and mountains. But the north of Ulster should hold dry. Top temperatures just 2 to 5 C., generally and feeling colder in the easterly wind, but values will reach 6 or 7 C., in southern coastal fringes.

Woudnt take much notice of it , chopping and changing every few hours , let’s see what there’re warnings have to say

And then goes on to say this:

Thursday night: Very cold and frosty overnight with icy roads and also some lying snow. Frosty from the start over Ulster with some pockets of freezing fog. Windy for a time elsewhere with a mix of rain, sleet and snow. The snow is likely to be heaviest over much of Munster and south Leinster, with some significant accumulations in places. But this band of weather will clear southwards later in the night and the fresh and gusty east to northeast winds will moderate also. Icy here also with lying snow in places. Overnight lows generally below zero between -2 and -5 C., coldest over snow fields but zero or + 1 along the south and southeast coasts.

Just enough to cover - like most of the pics - in South Tipp. Supposed to be travelling to Dublin tomorrow/Friday, think I will give it a miss.

Damp squib outside Limerick City.

Hail and trace elements of snow.

Puddles on the tarmac now.

I can't see much or any disruption for Limerick City
