    Yeah as heavy as ever! Looking at 0930 radar still a bit more to come.

    Best quality snow of the year so far - Dublin 2:D


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 12,780 ✭✭✭✭ninebeanrows


    Snow passed here about 2 hours ago, about 2cms on the ground, first proper snow of the spell!!


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 279 ✭✭Mr. Muddle


    Light snow on and off for the last hour in Drogheda. Stopped at the minute but sky full of clouds.

    My sister is flying out of Dublin Airport at 6am tomorrow morning, I know its probably too early to know but what do you clever people who know so much think about her chances and about driving to Airport from Drogheda at 3am?


  • Registered Users Posts: 166 ✭✭MollyZ


    Snow is getting heavy in Celbridge now. Has been snowing for at least an hour, sometimes so lightly that you'd almost not see it.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 17 Kazzo


    Heavy snow now in Leixlip - big big flakes!


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 260 ✭✭patneve


    white-out in Dalkey, 3-5 centimetres depending on exposure. another shower on the way according to radar:D


  • Subscribers Posts: 8,322 ✭✭✭Scubadevils


    I can't for the life of me understand how it was raining here and snowing pretty much everywhere else... Lusk must have its own little micro climate or something!

    I'm so surprised too, stats at M2 bouy are good (4c DP -1c) but I did note earlier there was sleet in Belfast?


  • Registered Users Posts: 1,523 ✭✭✭jambofc


    very light stuff here again


  • Registered Users Posts: 40 Snowshoe Sam


    Snowing on and off here for at least the last 1.5hrs or so.

    Not particularly heavy, now just few flakes floating around on the wind....


  • Registered Users Posts: 6,018 ✭✭✭TheMilkyPirate


    A lot of cloud cover here but no snow, Just that shower we had about half an hour ago. Hopefully get a bit more :)

    On closer inspection of the road etc, it does look like it had been snowing and turned to rain. Just doesn't bode too well for the next couple of days for this area, think I'll sell my roller coaster ticket - 50% off, any takers?

    snowing big fat chunky flakes here if it snows a bit heavier and lass maybe 2 hours i will be happy!


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 285 ✭✭GavinH


    Hi all,

    wind is from the SW down here, does that mean the Atlantic is winning?


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 9,031 ✭✭✭Tom Cruises Left Nut


    Lovely big flakes in Naas now !!!!

    Just saw the Sky News forecast, the lovely Lisa is showing a massive whiteout for Tuesday !

    Just to mention that snow beers + snow hangover + reflective snow = pain :(

    :D

    Extremely dark here, would be very surprised if it did'nt snow. But our snow shield is one of the best so lets just wait and see ;)

    Good spread, once this precip is gone it'll be a few hours before there's any more.

    Will be interesting to see how this moves through the country over the next while. May not make it past the midlands

    No, I'd ignore the surface winds atm. It's showing SW here too, but the weather (snow - yippee) is coming from the east.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 208 ✭✭kaltz


    Few flakes here in Mullingar about 30 minutes ago. Thought that was the start of it but its stopped now. :mad:


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 3,181 ✭✭✭bryaner


    Small bit in navan atm


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 9,031 ✭✭✭Tom Cruises Left Nut


    What time is the next Met forecast on RTE 1 ?

    Yes everthing does look to be moving from the east. Okay will ignore the surface wind.
    Thanks

    Snowing fairly heavy here in Dublin 15 for at least the last hour. And it doesn't show signs of stopping!


  • Registered Users Posts: 452 ✭✭Jomcc


    Snowing heavily in Portlaoise.

    hows dublin airport fairing during this snow? I cant find a webcam of dublin airport.

    Always amazes me that people ask these questions. You can clearly use the internet, just google Dublin Airport. :mad:

    Rant over.

    Dublin Airport has suspended flight operations, lots of delayed and cancelled flights now showing

    Lol naughty


  • Registered Users Posts: 255 ✭✭mollzer


    Very dark in Carrickmacross, but temps up to -2 now, a few flakes about 10 mins ago but I could count all that landed there were so few.


  • Registered Users Posts: 195 ✭✭gothwalk


    We had an overnight low of -10.6C here in Maynooth, easily beating the previous night's new record of -8.7C.

    It's now snowing steadily - has been since I woke up at 9, and clearly had been for some time before. We've about 2cm of fresh snow on top of what was here already.

    It might be fairly messy allright, I'd say she has 50% chances of actually getting to the airport, not to mention that it might get closed in the morning.

    Good dumping of snow here in Firhouse (Tallaght )over the last 2-3 hours and still coming down,impressive


  • Moderators, Motoring & Transport Moderators Posts: 6,522 Mod ✭✭✭✭Irish Steve


    Snowing at present, air temp 0.3, precip 1.2 mm in rain equivalent, which translates to about 4 cm since it started this morning at whatever time it did. Varying in severity of fall from significant to almost nothing. Call from Duleek a few minutes ago, similar there, and also in Ratoath.

    RTE and AAroadwatch have nothing up about current conditions.

    To coin a phrase, "Be careful out there!"

    Shore, if it was easy, everybody would be doin it.😁



  • Registered Users Posts: 112 ✭✭Johnny1999


    snowing here, will keep you updated:D
