    Maybe someone from Wexford could tell us if it's currently snowing there so we can decide which radar to trust. :D

    It has been snowing here in Wexford Town for over an hour. Not sticking where snow has been cleared but they are big thick flakes. It's very windy too so swirling around a lot.

    Still the biggest non event here since Ophelia..

    Enjoy the show folks :D

    Unless you were in munster that day. It was harsh. Ophelia hit hard here. Sorry you missed out...

    I'm sure the people who lost their lives thought it was a non event too.

    I'm in South Wexford on the coast. Its light swirling snow. Winds really picking up.

    I've been following the Europe Swiss HD 4x4 Model.

    Its been very accurate. According to that we will have heavier snow in the South East & West by 2pm. By 5/6pm that will have moved up through Leinster (and Munster) into Dublin.

    Was just out for a stroll around the Evergreen Street area of Cork, unlike yesterday, theres a massive layer of ice underneath the snow so I cant see a massive thaw out at any stage today. The footprint I left outside my front door was frozen by the time I was back, about 15 minutes. Getting really dark here now again. Still lots of people trying to navigate through the narrow hilly streets here, had to help on fella push into the side so he could just leave the car there, you'd have to wonder whats wrong with people sometimes.

    When is this snow in Dublin going to stop? Looking at the met.ie radar, not any time soon!

    I thought there was meant to be an easing in shower activity, and maybe even some sunshine, before the main event starts. But all morning, it has snowed, quite a bit, in north Dublin city.

    Whiteout now, with snow blowing everywhere. Lots more to come from what the radar looks like.

    One thing quite unusual about this snow event seems to be the vast difference in conditions locally.
    Im here in Donegal a few miles south of letterkenny where there is little to no snow at all. Yet a little more north and into Inishowen there has ben blizzard conditions and some large acumalations of snow.
    Seems this is due to streamers feeding off the north coast only afecting north Donegal.

    People in Kildare, Cork, Kilkenny, Drogheda who have posted pics of significant snow- you need to realise that this is light compared to what Emma could drop later, risk increasing exponentially the further south you are.

    Heed the warnings. You ain't seen nothing yet.

    conditions here in Dunshaughlin are getting really bad now, it's the wind whipping the snow up into the air more than anything, making going outside not a good idea. Been light to moderate falls of snow over past few hours. Snow depth still only a fraction of 2010 but the wind etc is making this event just as dangerous.

    Very disappointing from a snow point of view in Wicklow. Anglesea shadow has scuppered any streaming activity for the last two days. Desperately need a change in wind direction.

    But I wasn't in Munster.. I was here.. And I was just saying this has been another non event here..

    People die in bad weather.. It happens.. It's not my fault..

    This has been done to death.. Let's not go there..

    Yup around Cork and a lethal layer of ice under the snow.

    Nothing here in South Donegal either, I'm Barnesmore Gap area but it seems from Donegal Town as far as Killybegs there is nothing at all.

    Wind direction will not change (much) but difference will be transition from convective snow to frontal snow....basically will not be relaying on the sea to produce snow.
