I'm old enough to remember the snows of '82 and I can honestly say this is coming close to that. This is truly a 30 year at least winter! keep the fantastic pics coming, thanks to everyone posting pics, a wonderful record to look at in future normal mild winters

My dad and uncle say theres more now. Snow of 82 had more effect though because it drifted.

Only your facebook friends can see those pics, Spadina. I just tried, no luck.

For the southern half of Leinster '82 wasn't anything too notable. For Dublin, Meath, Kildare and south Louth however it was an epic event. I have seen pics from 82 near my home and even excluding the enormous 7 foot drifts the snow was extremely deep. The max amount of snow seen so far in this spell anywhere in Ireland is about 1.5 feet. Of course parts of the Dublin/Wicklow mountains there is more than that.

Good, the colour contrast with the sunset (sunrise?) was fantastic, I thought. I mean, there are so many artistic shots in this thread, I wouldn't want to single out too many, but the one with the pony through the wheel was striking, and I loved the before and after that started the thread.

Just about every photo on this site seems top-quality to me, in terms of composition, I look back at some of my old photos from the pre-digital age and sort of laugh, but then when you have to wait a month to see your photos, you tend to forget to make them look good.

The park looks class covered in snow The all weathers look deadly aswell

Learning as I go along..

Haven't posted pictures in ages forgot how to.:)

This is Leixlip and Leixlip Confey. Have a foot of snow here but there seems to be less in Confey...bit of a thaw but not much.

Are those pics of the walkway along the Dodder with the hill across from the Speaker Conolly pub?

this cold weather is starving the birds!



this BIRD was in our kitchen today! he was so hungry he flew in when we opened the door to go out. he spent a short while eating crumbs off our dirty counter top LOL... got him out and then he came in a 2nd time. he came real close. poor thing! we had peanuts in a feeder outside but theres so many birds, they were horsing through it. we've more to put out tomorrow morning though.

A few pictures from around Stillorgan after coming home to Dublin for xmas.

Deep snow in the back garden. A branch even broke on that tree from heavy snow.
