The snow has been bonkers here in Louth, snowing since 5 o'clock and has'nt stopped.
Have at least +8cm of snow fall on a clear patch and god knows what depth on un-clear.
I live next to the sea and this is extream, iv lived here 12 years and have never seen anything as bad as this. We normaly get just a cm or 2 and its gone within a day or 2.
The co co plough went past the house and it made no difference to the road.:pac:

Hahahah, brilliant! I already took Ethan out for a mandatory snowfall bike ride :-)

i wouldnt be able to bring him out on the bike, having to hav him on the lead all the time would be dangerous with ice,

anyone see the 9 news report of the mountaineers , amazing scenes!

I've been keeping an eye out, there was some drizzle and a few minutes of OK snow about an hour ago but seems to have tailed off for now. I'm near James's.

I'm near Leonards Corner and it's pretty much the same, a light dusting of snow and very little else.

Snow starting to fall in South Kilkenny

Send some across the river razor

-2 here but above freezing in Dunmore and Tramore so could be marginal for us.

Perhaps this excess concentration of snow-nerds is causing this St James snow shield phenomenon

Louth County Council has a snow plough? Any chance they'd hire it out to Dublin City Council???

Even though the band seems to have died alot it is now hitting Dublin and could do for a number of hours in one form or another.

Currently nearing moderate snowfall here with 1-2cm of freshly accumulated snow in the last hour.

keithzer · 06-12-2010 11:06PM

Still snowing in Drogheda 6 hours now im off to bed no sign of this stopping

I know, I am just outside New Ross and it seems to just disappear there, very frustrating...
