    Flights are still taking off and landing in Dublin airport with some delays and cancellations. My parents flight to Birmingham just took off a few moments ago. Keep an eye on the Live Arrivals part of the website but I'm sure it's too early to tell at the moment, might have to wait a few more hours.

    http://flights.dublinairport.com/arrivals.asp

    Live Departures indicates that it's the destination airport that is impacting on flights out of Dublin. Many UK destinations are being cancelled,but continental Europe and the US have all taken off.

    So right now it looks like Dublin is coping, while the limiting factor is the other end of the flight.

    Hope so...I've to go to Brussels tomorrow!:)

    It's snowing in Dunshaughlin, and Drogheda, and Blanch but Ashbourne never gets it!

    We got fairly pummeled last night. Roads are a disaster.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 4,305 ✭✭✭Chuchoter

  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 58,456 ✭✭✭✭ibarelycare


    Small flakes but coming down really fast in Dunshaughlin again. Best snow I can ever remember seeing :D

    I'm fairly certain that lump is an error in the radar :/ Clouds move, that yellow blob hasn't moved in hours.

    If they were going an appropriate speed for the road conditions there is no way they would have crashed, we were laughing in the vid but i'm not making fun in this thread so get down off your high horse

    where was that.is it Borris?

    Yep it was bad leaving for work this morning - the bus went at about 20km the whole way to M2.. I'm just wondering if it's going to snow throughout the day

    Drogheda got about 10 mins of blue sky an hour or two ago - and then it started snormageddon. Very sticky powdery stuff - perfect for skiing and boarding if we have a decent slope somewhere. Still snowing and the snow at the back is only an inch away from coming level to the patio door. Kids with toboggans outside can't even seem to make a patch on the snow.

    It's beautiful, except for the cold..! :D

    Unusual for Drogheda or Louth to be getting hit although for many parts of Dublin and Wicklow this is quite common. ENJOY:D:D
    *Where* did you pull that from?! In January 08 so-called "streamers" centered around Drogheda and gave the area about 4 inches! Since about 07 Drogheda's been hit twice by these streamers in significant amounts, and Dublin city's been hit twice (although today's been iffy for me in the city centre)


    In fairness to the car crash video, they wouldn't have done that sort of damage to their car if they had been driving at 15 miles per hour or less. And the road looks level, so the speed didn't come from gravity...

    The M2 dewpoint won't matter so much for the next while as the air is now clearly cold enough. Once it stays below 1.5 or 1 or thereabouts, I wouldn't be worrying about it.

    *sciencey bit* And because the capacity for water in air is mainly temperature dependent (pressure doesn't come into it as the wind is coming from areas of roughly equal atmospheric pressure), it means that the dewpoint serves as a good gauge of how much actual water vapour is in the air at ground level! The higher the dewpoint, the more capacity in the air for showers once the air is cooled to below the dewpoint, as what happens in clouds. So a dewpoint of around 0 is very useful, for beefy showers while still maintaining the snow!

    Phantom called and said, "we can't very well be telling people to come to a show AND to avoid unnecessary travel".

    AND

    Amazing to hear all the snow reports, swear I'm not jealous! The tail end of a streamer must have managed to sneak into Lusk overnight as there is about 2cm on the ground :o Its like living in another country altogether when I hear about snow reports from others parts - including bloody Balbriggan only up the road!!!

    Really? I'm not too far away in Rathfarnham and still nothing (well apart from this morning's mini blizzard :D)

    I work in DL/Blackrock and yesterday it seemed as if all the showers were in Rathfarnham. I took today off work and now it seems as if they're all out in DL/Blackrock! Typical!

    Don't want to go off topic, but there was not a hell of a lot of damage, and I would be very surprised if the car was going over 15mph. Crumple zones are designed to do this.

    there is a fairly high curb a good bit before that sign so he hit the curb then hit the sign, he had to have been doing some speed for the conditions

    In fairness, that was hilarious!

    Blue sky's beginning to move out of the way for fairly dark grey clouds now over D2 city centre.

    Here's hoping!
