It's horsing down in Wicklow now, right beside the sea. I could see it moving in off the sea and it's just hit. Might get a couple of inches out of this -the Irish Sea has disappeared now - pelting!:)

That streamer looks good for North Wicklow.

Getting beefy, happy enough we got a little bit off it as thought we might get none.

Probably throwed down 1cm.

Folks - have deleted a spam post and a number of posts that referenced it.

Thanks for the literally dozens of reported posts

Snowing in Drumcondra

Tom Cruises Left Nut · 01-12-2010 9:05am

Getting really heavy in D3 !!

Annuv · 01-12-2010 9:05am

Nice top-up snowfall in Kilkenny town last night -Jealous of you Carlow and Waterford people though!

01-12-2010 9:06am

We got a fresh covering of snow during the night it seems. But I think we are still in that bleedin shadow .
Skys look ominous enough, cant tell if its snow coming or wha'.

Dublin city centre should be getting hit right about now. Or about to be. Any reports?

I think this one might make it to here too!

It is. Heavy looking too. Mind you, we keep having one minute wonders out the window....

Plasmoid · 01-12-2010 9:07am

Looks like the snowfall Dun Laoghaire is just passing over Leopardstown now. Lost all visibility there for a minute.

LookingFor · 01-12-2010 9:07am

Hmm. Looking at the 8.45 radar, I think south D15 was just clipped by a leading little blob. But there's much more behind, so maybe we will see more?

And as I type, it's just started again very lightly.

edit - yeah, getting a lot cloudier now.

maquiladora · 01-12-2010 9:08am

Wicklow in for another big pasting today by the look of it...

meathgal2010 · 01-12-2010 9:08am

smokin ace · 01-12-2010 9:12am

i said yesterday that we were not going to get more snow especially when it was thawing no end and i totally lost confidence in getting more snow

OH BOY HOW WRONG WAS I :eek::eek::eek:

i bow my head in shame as the experts was telling me that we were going to get more snow and i totally disagreed with them

SO TO THE EXPERTS I BOW BEFORE YOU AND MARVEL AT YOUR KNOWLEDGEABLE WISDOM WHEN IT COMES TO PREDICTING SNOW

Jonnykitedude · 01-12-2010 9:13am

Between navan & Kells

Slogger Jogger · 01-12-2010 9:13am

Aughrim, Co. Wicklow. Must be nearly 5 inches of snow overnight.

Futile task almost clearing snow. Snow falling as quick as I can try to clear. Car won't be going anywhere today and probably tomorrow at this rate.

whitemocha · 01-12-2010 9:13am

The Luas at least seems to be running ok... if a little water logged and crowded.

Steopo · 01-12-2010 9:13am

Coming down in Ongar now. Thought it might have just missed us.

Got into work by about 8 no problem after getting the 49

Has been 2 short showers of snow in D2 since I got into work.

49 Doesn't come anywhere near Kiltipper hill, think it goes through Aylesbury maybe. 50 65 65B 76 54A only serving as far as the square, Killinarden is impassable, Marlfield Impassable, Thomas Davis RD impassable, just watch yourself coming home, could end up with a bit of a walk. Just talking to a council worker, Sally Gap is a bit up the road..............3foot of nice white fluffy stuff, they went up to help a person who got stuck on a back road with the assistance of search and rescue.

Man - you were a real pain in the ass yesterday with your pessimism...

Pokes · 01-12-2010 9:14am

Looks like laois is being completely bypassed by the snow

Ghost Train · 01-12-2010 9:15am

Had the heavy snow here a few minutes ago, lighter now, dun laoghaire area, fog (snow) horn still sounding

Dickerty · 01-12-2010 9:15am

Absolutely bucketing snow in D1/IFSC. Heaviest i've seen it in daytime this week...

Treehere · 01-12-2010 9:15am

Just woke up to SNOOOW in Dundrum.

SUCK ON THAT SOUTH MUNSTER.

redalicat · 01-12-2010 9:16am

Starting to snow again here in Old Kilcullen. Got around 3 inches last night, was snowing up to 7am today.

Noopti · 01-12-2010 9:16am

Yep, Dublin 2 is bucketing snow

TomTom · 01-12-2010 9:17am

I drove to Dublin today from Offaly, took me 3.5hrs. When I get in there is only one person in the office everyone else could not make it due to the snow. I drove past some of these peoples houses. Wimps.

Loomis · 01-12-2010 9:17am

Did anywhere actually get what was predicted on this thread yesterday/last night?
Snowing heavily the last 10 mins or so in Dublin 2.

oh my goodness. kids in the estate have no school today because and i quote, the snow event yesterday.:rolleyes: half a hour of snow 24 hours before and the schools get shut down

the roads are still white on my estate, but thats about it

Probably more due to the road conditions I'd say. I had to abandon my car last night as what snow there was froze solid - roads were as bad as I'd ever seen. Met Eireann giving a 'Flat Calm' today which apparently means there will be no wind to lower the temperatures. I'd advise everyone to stay off the roads if at all possible.

Snowing all morning over here in County Louth. As much snow as I've seen in my adult life.

Coopaloop · 01-12-2010 9:17am

Serious :eek: snow in Dublin 2! Its beautiful!:)

Any idea the roads to tinahely and the road to ballinacladh. Supposed to Ho to sandyford from tinahely. Couldn't get out of the drive.

IvySlayer · 01-12-2010 9:18am

Good bit of snow in Lucan atm

LookingFor · 01-12-2010 9:19am

Gotten a little heavier here in south d15 now, but it had been just light-ish grainy stuff up to now.

Looking at the latest radar I think we're lucky to be getting any at all! We're the definition of 'fringe' here.

Sensible people not risking thier necks for a days work, really not worth it with some of the 4x4 lunatics out there.
