Pretty well. The DARTs and Dublin Commuter lines ran reasonably well in 2010, annoyingly well in fact from a worker point of view!

However, in 2010 the snow built up over a long number of days of bitty events, there could be so serious dumpings of snow later this week that the signals, points and powerlines get overwhelmed and damaged more readily. I wouldnt worry, whatever you're heading into town for will probably not happen anyway

Crumbs of snow in Edenderry, Co Offaly.

How Soon Is Now · 26-02-2018 5:28pm

Was out for walk there in Citywest cold enough out mad considering weather been really nice last few days.

Was little bit snow on way out but coming home was much heavier. Nothing worth writing home bout yet though!!

That may not be enough.

Douglas here. Absolutely bitter outside.

Felt a few drops of rain at about 1pm in the city but that's it. Blue-ish clouds at the moment too.

same in Bishopstown, the clouds are definitely a strange colour!

Popoutman · 26-02-2018 5:38pm

Here's the most recent MODIS capture from ~2pm today. Can see the streamers in the cloud streets, even though they don't have much precipitation in them yet.

Sure that's more than half the country covered in clouds, it could dump anywhere at this point...

Tiny bit of snowfall in the curragh.

pad199207 · 26-02-2018 5:44pm

Just back now, but around 12 noon there was some dry powdery snow falling around Carrigaline and up at the Cork Airport .. Same stuff was more rain in the city and out in Ballincollig which is where I was going

In CORK like, i mean come on

BobTheHammer44 · 26-02-2018 5:47pm

Any predictions on when the schools will close? I want to prepare for the kids.

JCX BXC · 26-02-2018 5:47pm

Took me a while to get through all the thread, up to 200 pages on Desktop or 250 on mobile.

I'm feeling much more confident today, GFS giving a good 18 hours of snow for me in West Clare and very little back edge rain.

otherfrog · 26-02-2018 5:49pm

Just a few wispish flakes falling in Naas.

The grey sky seems so foreboding after the ten hours of sunshine yesterday.

Gonzo · 26-02-2018 5:49pm

still no flakes here yet today.

NetWeather can sometimes over estimate precipitation where there is none, however looking at it right now, you can clearly make out that south of Drogheda is in the Wales shadow and an area north of Newry and south of Belfast is under the Isle Of Man shadow.

Currently areas in the shadows aren't missing out on much as what is falling seems to be only random flakes and bits of snizzle.

We have had 2 hours of continuous light sleet/snow here, im about 5 miles from slane near Rathkenny.

jds0ur · 26-02-2018 5:53pm

Any reports from Dundalk / Drogheda?

_Brian · 26-02-2018 5:55pm

Many of the app forecasts seem to be peddling back on the snow, and reducing the time window it will be about.
Is this the general feeling from people watching the charts ??

NegativeCreep · 26-02-2018 5:55pm

Just tiny flakes falling all day in Blanchardstown. Bit disappointing so far
