    The snow has started again. Neighbours were out shovelling snow earlier. Their efforts have since been undone!

    Streamers heading for Dublin are dying down now, might give some time for people to clear the already topped up snow.

    I went out for a there for a run with leggings, base layer, long sleeve top, 2 pairs of gloves, beanie. Sweating like a pig after a mile. I'd have gotten away with shorts and a long sleeve top. The fresh dry snow is great to run on, loads of grip.

    oh ya. I hear it's the perfect texture for running.

    Is there a chance people are over reporting? Making me a tad jealous that inland leinster have seemingly 8-9 inches already and its only 2 or so inches in south east dublin :'(

    I reckon some people are. Someone posted that they had 15cm and posted some photo's. Definitely no more than Bray going on the photo's and we have 5cm on the Seafront.

    I don't expect to see anymore snow here in Bray till tonight when the wind is due to turn back a little more ENE.

    Father gave me that sceptical smile when I showed him the Snow Crampons for his shoes and Snow socks for his Van yesterday. He came back from deliveries this morning having used both on the snow and couldn't sing their praises loud enough. Bravo Amazon for delivering them just ahead of the Snow! :D

    I caught some of those showers coming into Dublin bay early this morning, the breeze on the strand would cut you in two, worth it though

    Very sunny, and not as cold in Monasterevin now. Roads have mostly cleared up, and i'd almost be worried it'd start melting. Hopefully we see some more soon, and then even more tonight.

    Picture of 4x4 having overturned in Kinsale town centre on Kinsale Notice Board on FB. The snow showers seem to have been quite localized and have hugged the coast from Cloyne down to Clonakilty. What was remarkable about them is how intense they were. 6 inches outside now.

    Yip .. Im in Carrigaline. We got well hit through the night last night, but over the hill in Cork city .. NOTHING. Hence all the radio stations ( 96fm, Red FM ) displaying disbelief and callers also .. "Shur no snow here in the city, how could it be there" .. implication is someone telling porkies. I mean .. whats that attitude all about, I dont get it?

    This morning people could not get in / out of Carrigaline easily. And of course, because the city was fine it was "get into work" ( if working in city ). Carrs hill ( main route ) is impassable appareently. Cars abandoned all over the place. The only route, if you have to, is via rochestown / passage / monkstown to carrigaline via ringaskiddy road. On the flat.

    It seems all the coastal towns inc Crosshaven, Kinsale, Clon all got hit too while city ( only about 16kms away ) was left alone, nothing over night apparently.

    Fair play, kids here could only build a snow mound! Balls just wouldn't roll and gather.

    Sun breaking through the clouds here. Lots of clouds to the east though. -2c in Dublin Airport so shouldn't be too far off that here.

    Dear Mr. Sun,
    Could you please buzz off for the next few days? We've seen enough of you this month! Come back when we need you *cough* summer *cough*
    Thanks
