    what a day in Dublin. blizzards on and off all day in the city centre. Walked home from work in heavy snow.

    So white outside and so quiet.

    Lovely stuff

    Epic journey on the way home from Baggot Street to Stamullen. It took me 3 hours by train/walking. The car got stuck wheel spinning on the bridge over the motorway just before Stamullen. A night in shining armour came to my rescue and reversed it down the hill to get a good run at it. I'm not going out in that tomorrow. Well maybe to make snow people with little people.:D

    What are the chances of getting from Stamullen to Portmarnock on Saturday for my brother's wedding. Then onto Summerhill House Hotel in Enniskerry for the reception. :eek:

    A nightmare all round. :(

    I am embaressed to admit this but I have a major case of 'sour grapes' goin on atm.
    On the East Coasts biggest snow day in 23 years Bray Seafront area accumulated 1 inch of hail/ Graupel combo in a half hour shower at 10am. The resulting slush has 'soaked' up what little 2-3 minute showers of hail and graupel we got on and off the rest of the day. ie. Our slush got bulked up. We have had about 30 minutes total in showers today whereas Greystones on the other side of Bray head about 2 miles away has had 30 minutes without falling snow today. Bray has been under a gap in Cloud Streams all day long.

    What we have is enough to be massively inconvenient to people but not enough to be worth a play in nor is it aesthetically pleasing to look at.

    If this is all Bray can hope for for the rest of this cold period then I would prefer it were gone.

    PS. I recognise that as an adult this level of sour grapes and frustration and resultant bad mood and snappyness all because I didn't get the types or amounts of snow I wanted is symptomatic of addiction and I will soon be seeking professional help. :D
    Could howth cause the same shadowing effect as the isle of man is causing in north county dublin??....

    Some serious lightning flashes going on far out to sea from here.
    Roads like ice rinks nothing moving for miles, the utter silence only broken by the very distant and gentle rumble of thunder coming in off the sea.
    Absolutely beautiful evening, slight chill in the air at -3.9


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 106 ✭✭Fredo


    Snow has started again in Kilcock.

    I feel you pain. I ended up in a huge puddle of cold water at the DART station. However, Bray is a big town!! Take a walk from the beach as far as Ardmore and you can have as much snow as you want. There is easily 6 inches of the stuff where I live at the end of the Herbert Rd. Its only 1.5 miles up the road. Even Pres. Bray (about 500m from the sea) has a really good covering.

    Still belting down here in Belarmine... GO AWAY SNOW!


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,333 ✭✭✭Saganist


    Braking action only medium at the airport according to ATC !

    Another couple of inches here in Waterford City this evening and more on the way by the looks of the radar. Here is a clip taken today. Both cars in the clip are completely covered again now.

    Holy Crap!
    Just saw THE biggest flash of blue lightening I've ever see in my life- And the thunder came less than a second afterwards!!

    (D7, borderline D15 ish)

    Any reason why the heading on literally every one of your posts is ':mad: Ugh'?

    :pac:


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 15,483 ✭✭✭✭Supercell

  • Registered Users Posts: 127 ✭✭rsom


    Holy Moly.....massive thunder and lightning in Rathfarnham!!!!

  • Closed Accounts Posts: 188 ✭✭powerfade


    In Rathmines, lightning strike seemed right outside my window, followed by the loudest growl of thunder I have ever heard less than a second later. Serious fright!!


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 16,096 ✭✭✭✭the groutch


    Thunderbolts and lightning - very very frightening me

    Heard that. What worries me is that I also saw it with the shutters and curtains closed.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 27 lawrose


    We haven't had much let up in the snow all day today. Husband measured it at 10 inches an hour ago.

    Have to be in Carlow for 9.30am tomorrow and dreading the drive. Got to Tullow today and roads were desperate. The N80 near Ballon (Boggan Hill) was very slippy - even though they had a snow plow working both sides of the hill all day.

    The N81 to Tullow was desperate - high snow piled at edges and in middle - very poor visibility.

    Hope everyone still out makes it home safe tonight.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,373 ✭✭✭Shane O' Malley


    Looks like the north side of dublin will be getting the snow for the next hour or so.

    Lightning very close here in Rathmines, followed by a deafening clap of thunder and the biggest hailstones I've ever seen! :eek:


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 10,264 ✭✭✭✭Alicat


    Snow starting again in Malahide


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 1,268 ✭✭✭irishmotorist


    Lucan - at 19:57 saw a flash of lightning and then ~30 seconds later was a sizeable rumble. I always equated this to 30 miles, but I saw a post last night that offers a different view. I think it was a shorter distance, but am not sure.

    Information/boards overload :confused: (the question marks over the smiley head should be steam...)


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 289 ✭✭ciaranm


    All of dublin heard that
