In D3 also we'd got little or nothing since the weekend but it's coming down now alright. Might have to revise any plans of leaving the house.

maquiladora · 01-12-2010 2:06pm

Big flakes now.

RTE saying the parts of the southeast getting worst snowfall in decades.

Correct. Plenty of snow falling here.

sunbabe08 · 01-12-2010 2:07pm

i have one website saying thundershowers coming to cork, another saying nothing is happening, i do see clouds coming in cork direction

bauderline · 01-12-2010 2:07pm

Mad, what looks very like a manx shearwater was just in the field behind me... just on the rim of the very bad weather that is affecting Navan..

weeder · 01-12-2010 2:07pm

nearly stopped in gorey it was that light but getting heavy again

01-12-2010 2:07pm

Snowing my end of Lucan now too. Not too heavy but snow noetheless

Looking at the clouds coming we may get another load.

Slogger Jogger · 01-12-2010 2:08pm

Constant snow outside Aughrim. Thunder rolls recently too.

Sir Oxman · 01-12-2010 2:08pm

Lashing snow in Dub central (Stoneybatter)

little bess · 01-12-2010 2:08pm

Very, very light snow falling in Killester/Raheny after 20 mins of graupel, still under cloud but can see the blue skies further North . Are people in portmarnock or malahide getting anything ?

mike65 · 01-12-2010 2:08pm

Snow back in Waterford city, should be here for a few hours.

_whiskers · 01-12-2010 2:09pm

Been bucketing down in D3 for the past hour or so. And now it's lightly snowing!! We deserve it we have had little to nothing since Saturday

:D

Not a sausage in Swords anyway

wicklowdub · 01-12-2010 2:10pm

Bucketing down again in Greystones, its getting rediculous at this stage, roads are a mess.

Chairman Meow · 01-12-2010 2:10pm

Chucking down snow in the city centre!

claytonie · 01-12-2010 2:10pm

This first pic was around 10am yesterday and the second just after 10 today.

Saganist · 01-12-2010 2:11pm

Very heavy in the City Centre.

Might need to go home early if this keeps up..

:D

dacogawa · 01-12-2010 2:11pm

Heavy snow again in D4, have to go pick my nephews up from school soon, I'm going to pelt them with snowballs! (I wont be asked to pick them up again

)

Alicat · 01-12-2010 2:11pm

gaius c · 01-12-2010 2:13pm

Finally stopped here in D8. Good inch or two fallen. Roads are going to be awful.

jrd · 01-12-2010 2:13pm

has anyone got the prediction from raintoday.co.uk as to what will happen the clouds coming in from Darlington and Leeds. The Darlington ones look like they could get to North County Dublin (aka Shadowland) based on an ENE?

LookingFor · 01-12-2010 2:14pm

Was out around d15, there was a light shower. Dark clouds to the south, brighter to the north.

kingshankly · 01-12-2010 2:14pm

can anyone tell me how you put up pics from the iPhone on here

It may last for quite a while so if you need to get somewhere later I suggest you head out asap.

Thanks.

My boss ain't keen on us all heading off.
It's like something from a disaster film. I'm the scientist bearing bad news, and he's the authority figure living in denial.

actually, guinness cam shows that it may be clearing for a while. still dodgy though. Must have dumoed a fair few cms there.

mickger844posts · 01-12-2010 2:15pm

Asked that already, someone said they would die out, but they dont look as if they want to die out

TheMilkyPirate · 01-12-2010 2:16pm

Stopping slightly here in wexford town, Sit and wait for next shower now hopefully!

Silcocky · 01-12-2010 2:16pm

I'm working in town, just back from Jervis Centre-was there forty five mins and at the very least 3cm fell....
Looks beautiful, but gonna cause crazy mess-ness...going home!

LID · 01-12-2010 2:17pm

All wrapped up...about to brave trip to the shops for necessities (on foot!)...wish me luck!

they aren't really moving though. they just really are localised storms.

That's because a five hour commute is on *your* time, and not his/her problem.

Don't know about there, but Ayrfield (between the Tonlegee Road and Clare Hall) has gotten another cm or two in the last hour, snowing/graupelling almost non-stop. The edge of the band must be somewhere between here and Malahide, cos the sky looks solid gray north of here now.

smokin ace · 01-12-2010 2:19pm

down in wexford the roads are in an awfull state and there is still people driving
and whats the deal with the lorry drivers there are going way to fast for the road and weather conditions

Monkaa · 01-12-2010 2:19pm

Just home from UCD which closed at 12 for all students...its a winter wonderland here...cant remember the last time I saw snow this deep..18cms approx! and thats not in the flurry areas

some_dose · 01-12-2010 2:19pm

Could any of the experts on here be able to tell me if we are going to get a shift in the wind direction to WNW or NW in the coming days?

TheMilkyPirate · 01-12-2010 2:20pm

I'd say the wicklow mountains are unreal all morning.

gaius c · 01-12-2010 2:20pm

More snow in D8 (graupel or whatever you call it actually)

ffarrell7 · 01-12-2010 2:21pm

Dublin 15 missed that snow band..it is still snowing heavily in Drumcondra, D9 and Dublin city centre but we missed this one...unusual for us. Still thick here though.:D:D

John Mason · 01-12-2010 2:21pm

just been for a walk in Merrion square, it is chucking it down but it is lovely out there

Thedogsgone · 01-12-2010 2:21pm

bloopy · 01-12-2010 2:22pm

Stupidly came up to kilkenny last night.
Anyone know how the roads between Inistioge and Thomastown are?

In Dunlavin in West Wicklow, more snow that the last 2 years. A foot and a half in places. Roads completely blocked, even with 4 wheel drives.
