It's snowing in Rathnew/Wicklow, surprisingly large flakes given how close to sea level we are. Didn't expect us to get any this far east and close to the sea. That said it's far to wet and warm to settle.

I can see it from where I am - when it's clear and not snowing - but I need to get out the long lens to take pics as it's a bit over 60 km away, I'd say.

I'm collecting my Dad, who has got a really bad back (that's why I'm driving his car, as it's easier to get in/out of). Can't tell him to get the bus I'm probably over thinking all this, I've driven this road 100's of times, I just seem to be getting more nervous the older I get :pac:

I’m sure that you’ll be getting the motorway there and back, so I wouldn’t worry. Just don’t forget to pay the toll!

All the snow just south of me, so upset

Snow falling in Kilkenny at the moment. I really don't think I ever seen snow flakes as big before :eek:. Although the ground is too wet I think for it to stick.

fred funk }{ · 10-02-2020 11:47am

Very heavy snow in arklow. Not sticking. Temp 1.8c.

cnocbui · 10-02-2020 11:49am

Snow sticks.

CirrusBusiness · 10-02-2020 11:56am

Whiteout north Carlow. Everything covered. Big thick flakes falling. Beautiful to watch. Roads are going to be fun.

Mortelaro · 10-02-2020 11:57am

White out in Arklow
Settling well
Whole place is white

Danno · 10-02-2020 11:58am

Snow stopped in South Laois An inch or two, but thawing quick on pavements and roads.

10-02-2020 12:04pm

Serious snow in the south west.

I know ye hate these types of posts, but please be patient with me

I've to drive from Waterford to Dublin airport for 7.00pm this evening, and then back to Waterford. Are the roads likely to be bad? I'm nervous enough driving to to Dublin when it's dark (yes that sounds ridiculous i know!) but I'll also be driving someone else car. So, would you think there will be icy/tricky conditions?

Thank you

The storm has killed someone in the UK. A tree came down on a car.
Was reported on Sky News.

TTLF · 10-02-2020 12:20pm

Another shower coming across midlands now, might actually hit Dublin this time lol

Stopped snowing now Durrow Co Laois. Hopefully we will see some more fingers crossed

Meteorite58 · 10-02-2020 12:37pm

Some squally wintry showers here in Kerry this morning, mostly rain with hail and sleet mixed in, about 5C now. Mountains starting to whiten. Not much wind in general atm apart from the showers.

nacho libre · 10-02-2020 12:38pm

Heavy snow here on the driving wind.

I suppose i will have to wait till nightime for it to stick

highdef · 10-02-2020 12:42pm

Recent rain shower in Enfield, Meath, with some wet snow mixed in.

rahmalec · 10-02-2020 12:42pm

Pure 100% rain in Cork. Definitely doesn’t feel cold enough for snow down here. I’d say we’re a long way off

cnocbui · 10-02-2020 12:48pm

A while back, there was a flurry of really large clumps. By the time I grabbed the camera they were about a quarter the size. Trying to photograph flakes in mid air is wee challenge, but I managed a couple in flagrante delicto.
