    Crap, was there much snow today in Dublin :eek: When I left there this morning the sun was shining, and its been shining here all day. Just checking boards now and you're all talking about Snowmageddon. I have to travel back across Dublin this evening, are the roads bad ?

    Stop looking at the streamer in the Irish sea, check out what's coming from the north west. The whole country could get blitz tonight/tomorrow.

    Anyone know the wind direction for this? Will Ashbourne get a smack of this? Didn't make it to work today in Dundalk. Might I make it tomorrow?

    Epic amounts of snow, I'm in dublin 12 and its been snowing heavily, pretty much non stop since 11am. Almost a foot in my back garden including what was already there. From what I've seen on here most of dublin is the same. The main roads are ok, side roads not so much. Try and avoid ANY roads with an incline...bad news.

    The snow basically hasn't stopped for the past 5/6 hours here in D13. I'm glad I called a snowday for myself!

    Has to be a foot of snow easily now in parts of D5, definitely no chance of getting the car out of the garage tomorrow (its lowered as well )without it grounding itself :p

    Still belting down from about 2pm today and no sign of stopping just yet.

    Bring it on I say, it'll save me petrol.

    It will probably be mostly (freezing)rain across the west maybe until it crosses the midlands. By the time it hits Dublin it will probably be snow, if there is anything left.

    Nearly 3 hours after leaving clontarf i made it back to Donabate!!!!!!

    Pretty mad conditions in Clontarf when i left. cars going everyway and lots and lots of snow. Got back to Donabate thinking sad thoughts and its a warzone. Kids have built a giant giant snowman, barely took a skim off the surface of the lying snow. Will try get pics when i eventually warm up :)

    Heard on the 6pm RTE news that some observers think this weather could be costing the economy close to €100m per day. Food for thought.
