About four inches of snow here in West Cork. The most we've had in years.

Which part of west cork?

Regarding the snow off the cork coast,using the ukmo radar loop and playing it gives a better idea of trajectory.
It's definitely going to hit cork city nut not far north of the city as it's primary direction is west northwest as opposed to due northwest.
Expect heavy snow and also expect thunder and lightning...affecting the same areas as last night except not as far north.

Kilkenny City outskirts...

Temperature: Current -8.7 °C High -7.0 °C Low -9.5 °C
Dew Point: Current -9.2 °C High -7.3 °C Low -10.2 °C

Very very icy. Even the front door lock was a bit stiff from the cold. :eek:

About to do the school run.

Be very careful in Dublin city centre, there are some *very* icy areas. Nearly went on my arse a few times getting into work this morning.

School snow day here in Waterford even though there wasn't any fresh snow overnight. Saturday's snow is still there.

Forecasts are driving me nuts with most saying no more snow for Waterford and some saying lots tonight/tomorrow.

Any ideas?

still nothing coming up

btw, poor falling on the ice guy,

pure set up like. although at the same time he should have been walking that confidently

BEASTERLY · 29-11-2010 9:53am

Most if not all schools closed in county wexford today. Only a small bit of fresh snow last night but zero thaw since friday night has really grounded the county to a halt.

The roads around here just have compacted snow now, cars not melting it or turning it to slush.

It's january 2010 but with twice the amount of snow:D

Ricky91t · 29-11-2010 9:56am

Looking at the cloud, If Cork city will get snow, It will be here around 10:30, Judging by how much it's moved in the past hour and a half.

i'll be in college, in the cold part of the college i might add. oh well it'll be fun walking across the bridge this morning

rebel10 · 29-11-2010 9:58am

Here in west cork its crazy. Looking out my window seeing cars losing all control and hopping off pillars.
Rang work, its close to the city, so no snow, and they didn't believe i had snow down here:mad:. Told me to get in when i can. Can't see me being able to move for the day:(. Hate snow

There isin't a hope she will be in unless she has chains around the tyres! She could chance it later this morning but i really don't think the conditions will change much.
Everyone is fine, just lots of abandoned cars!

TheMutations · 29-11-2010 10:08am

There may be more potential in this clump of showers than last nights, as the sun will heat the land slightly.

Still preparing for the worst and hoping for the best:).

sunbabe08 · 29-11-2010 10:12am

i'm liking this cloud, it looks like it has potential and it looks rather full

well i'm hoping for the best, although my hopes arent that high

i'd be doing the same!

dave1982 · 29-11-2010 10:17am

I watched the cloud last night move right over cobh and city,and we got nothing.Expecting the same again today to be honest.
:rolleyes:

Brenireland · 29-11-2010 10:19am

why does a county like cork get snow?,kind of a waste tbh....I hope a big warm front comes in & melts it all away!

29-11-2010 10:20am

Just drove the 2 miles along my country road into Arklow.
The snow on the road was rubbing the underside of the jeep as I drove in the road tracks which gives you an idea of the depth!
The town and out here looks like something out of Boston

CarMuppet · 29-11-2010 10:20am

I'm like a child this morning... we had snow!

Sorry.... *ahem*...

Ok, so there was a sprinkling of snow this morning near Kinsale.... See enclosed picture of the R600 this morning.... driving conditions were actually fine.,... but if it freezes down on this then no cars will move.

dowtchaboy · 29-11-2010 10:21am

In Crosshaven - not a trace of snow yet - but I need to get to Waterford to deliver thesis by Nov 30th

..... should I head off today or tomorrow? Take the camper (rear wheel drive, diesel) or 4WD (with traction control etc. - but it's an automatic - :eek: ) ??

dave1982 · 29-11-2010 10:21am

Looking at raintoday it looks like just west cork is gonna get snow again
