This snow just seems to have stalled on the waterford coast. Falling moderately all morning. 8-10 cm this morning alone.

has it stopped there at all niall. eased off here in the last twenty mintues wonder if there is anymore to come

Winger_PL · 07-12-2010 12:26PM

I just drove from Wicklow Town to Parkwest in D12.
Along the coast the car was showing +4 and it was raining from the Greystones area north, quite intensive at times.
Past Junction 16 (Cherrywood) on the M50 it turned to heavy sleet and the temp dropped to +2.
Around Firhouse/Tallaght it was bucketing snow and the temp was down to 0.
I'll be driving to Newbridge in the next hour, I wonder what that'll be like.

dacogawa · 07-12-2010 12:34PM

lets hope for streamers on the east coast later, the wind has changed NE

Dunny · 07-12-2010 12:34PM

Anyone know if there is anymore snow on the way for the north Louth area?:) Ta.

thetonynator · 07-12-2010 12:35PM

Looks like theres a circle of snow going around kilkenny at the moment!!!

Also noticed an ad at the bottom of the page for the canary islands, advertising ''a better winter'' . . i'm starting to long for some warm sunshine again . .:(

stackerman · 07-12-2010 12:36PM

Im up on the hills near Rathcoole. Dumping down here most of the night and all day so far. Made it down this morning to the N7/Red cow area and the main roads are fine. If the snow keeps falling, i'd say I'll be snowed in for the first time, even in my 4x4

Well theres a blizzard in Naas so I reckon it could be same

kingshankly · 07-12-2010 12:38PM

thanks to all the snow here in Dundalk I'm now 1 foot higher above sea level

Niall558 · 07-12-2010 12:39PM

There's been flurries in Leixlip. It's hit a little break but i reckon it'll be back soon. Tempeture is 2°C but it feels like -3°C because of these 22km winds. Humidity is at 93 percent. Sunset is at 16:08 so i'm seeing a bit of a freeze tonight with a bit more ice and snow i reckon!

Yes, that what it means.

It's where the wind comes FROM.

It's a good question, don't apologise for it, nothing wrong with not knowing, lots wrong with not asking!

Yes, its heading south east (ish) & there's no stupid questions

M.T. (on the forcast thread) said that we could expect streamers on the east coast kinda like last week

Snowing in East Limerick, not too heavy but coupled with the road conditions last night I can't see how this is good

Unless the dewpoint at the M2 buoy drops significantly, any streamers will be of rain I think. Currently it's 2.3 C

Really heavy snow in Letterkenny for the past half an hour, still falling. Added about 3cm so far.

Seems to be getting heavier if anything

glimmerman123 · 07-12-2010 01:04PM

Snowing here in North Tipp since 10 o clock this morning. Good few inches on the ground now and still snowing heavy. We didn't get this much snow last winter.

thetonynator · 07-12-2010 01:04PM

According to Kilkenny Weather (i think that is kleefarrs site - one of our own!) , the current snow depth there of 20cm is the deepest ever. (station was not recording in 1947).
