Still snowing here in Rialto. I'm meant to be cycling over to a friend near Dorset Street this evening. Is this wise or even possible?

Why do people get in their cards without taking the snow off the roof...and then wonder why they end up swerving after it all dumps down on their windscreens??!! :rolleyes:

darkman2 · 02-12-2010 04:49PM

Hiya Trog

whats your verdict for the next while... really need to try get out & get to Tesco somehow......... supplies well depleated after 5 days of this .... Its started here Friday night so you can imagine the cabin fever lol

Well i think winds over the sea will be turning gradually more Northerly, directing the current stream of showers which has been feeding North dublin in a more Southerly direction possibly towards us. But they will continue to turn further towards North still, until the showers run begin to run straight down the sea again (if there still are showers) by midnight. I expect to see a bit more snow here this evening but it's hard to know exactly how much, it depends really on how the showers form up. Temperatures will also begin to fall very sharply once the sun goes down (very soon) and it will be much colder than the last few nights.

If anyone stuck for bags of snow salt.

Morgan Sports Solutions based in Swords are selling 25kg bags for €12.00 per bag, free delivery on orders over 5 bags.

Cheers

They should be giving them away and sending the bill to Anglo.

darkmaster2 · 02-12-2010 04:51PM

1 tiny shower of snow here since the cold began. Sunshine, Bone dry, frozen solid.
Looks like freezing rain is all we can look forward to !

KizzyMonster · 02-12-2010 04:51PM

Havn't been home since 9 this morning...
Anyone know if there's heavy snow in the D7: Cabra/Ashtown area?

Yep - I can feel the change there now this evening... ice slicks by the morning.. Please God may they keep the schools closed one more day as I dont fancy any dangerous drama now in the morning ...... Bad enough on a frosty morning let alone compacted ice & snow

roryc1 · 02-12-2010 04:53PM

Stopped for well over an hour with nothing here. Just starting to spit down again now, but roads looked ok even during the worst (best) of it earlier.

mvron · 02-12-2010 04:53PM

Consistent heavy snow for last few hours here. Sticking too - must be a good 4-5 inches out there!

MilanPan!c · 02-12-2010 04:55PM

Absolutely bucketing down, STILL, in Rathfarnham!

Just MENTAL here and has been, off and on, all day!!!

Well college is off again tomorrow for me:D to open any school in the area tomorrow with road conditions as bad as they're going to be would be very foolish..

wobblyknees · 02-12-2010 04:56PM

Snowmaggeden in Balbriggan today. Blizzard snow/snow in general all day long. Coming down really heavy again now. Great stuff for the kids.

Archeron · 02-12-2010 04:57PM

Temperature just plummeted here in Trim, Meath. The ice was starting to melt off the roof of the boiler shed in the garden, and off the roofs of houses, but just went out and in fifteen minutes, huge big icicles have formed everywhere
Big evil looking cloud coming fom Navan too, but its moving really really slowly. Hasnt snowed here since at least 9am today (when I got up

)

Cionád · 02-12-2010 04:58PM

A lone Garda with some passers by pushing cars up Gracepark Road a few mins ago, the road is terrible

KilOit · 02-12-2010 04:58PM

Kids will remember this alright, havn't seen it like this since early 90's when i was 9-10, loved it.

Supercell · 02-12-2010 04:59PM

Seems like rush hours has come early today, eastlink at a crawl already.

Cionád · 02-12-2010 04:59PM

This is officially epic now

steveLFC24 · 02-12-2010 05:00PM

Being snowing pretty much non stop in dublin 12 since about 11, apart from about 3 or 4 10 minute breaks. For the most part its being very heavy snow, just measured and theres 8 and half inches in my back garden (about 3-4 inches there before) This is unreal, and doesn't look like stopping anytime soon :eek:

W.B. Yeats · 02-12-2010 05:00PM

Crazy snow in D 16, has been for the past 30 min or so
I'd say we have had another 2 inches since morning........

Considering the radar track, and the photo from Pheonix Park posted earlier, then the answer is a resounding YES.

Ronan|Raven · 02-12-2010 05:00PM

Dumping snow now in Belarmine/Stepaside.

Wish it would just melt already... the novelty is wearing off fast.
