Temp just hit 0c in North Kildare. Heavy to very heavy snow now (and I don't use the term "very heavy" very often) and sticking to all surfaces.

Finally it is snowing.

Snow starved Dublin might finally get in on the action in the next few hours. Won’t stick but it will be nice to see it falling all the same

Been snowing heavily in Monasterevin for the last hour or two. It's actually sticking as well, and starting to build up. Probably won't last, but looks great

Um it’s pouring snow in north kildare now and starting to stick. I didn’t think it was gonna be this heavy?

Visibility is near zero on the m9 near athy and the motorway is totally white.

tiny tiny little bit of snow being blown around in the gusts now in Cork actually. Very tiny though.

Heavy Snow in Kildare. Readily sticking

Surprised by a lack of upgrade to Orange warning. Many parts of the midlands are being pasted now. Traffic is crawling on parts of the M4, M7 and M9. There's a crash on the southbound carriageway on the M7 near Portlaoise and the road is blocked.

Temperatures are getting very close 0c in a lot of places. I think people need to be provided with updated warnings that reflect this situation as there's a lot more snow falling in some places than anticipated.

Snow sticking in North Offaly now

This 'proper' snow boll*x needs to stop.

It's snowing and sticking readily in a lot of areas, even to below 100m asl.

A write off for Dublin however. Still 3 degrees here in D9. We needed the turn to be earlier as the precip no doubt wont be at much later.

Interesting few hours coming up for some with heavy settling snow in situ...

Just got a photo from my sister. Snow is sticking in Naas.

Heavy snow kk Laois border roads, grass, everything covered and well covered. Snow swirling and being blown around by gusts of wind. Very unexpected, but I’m gonna break out the kids sledges and puddle suits and make the very most of it for them
