Yes it does. You will have idiots tweeting etc now about a citywide blackout that did not happen.

No. That tweet didn't imply that.

You are reading into it and other posts for some bizarre reason.

Be glad your power isn't out but it is extensive.

Why would there be so many power cuts in Dublin.

Because it's red alert and we want to be the center of attention even if other places are getting more snow

Power back in Ringsend, just in time for my phone to charge before dying. :P Fairly play to the ESB!

Daniel2590 · 02-03-2018 3:15am

Looks to be a band of very heavy (up to 10mm/hr) precipitation heading towards Wicklow / South Dublin, making landfall maybe in the next hour or two

Vxlks · 02-03-2018 3:15am

Is this the *looking at the ads before the movie here In Dublin or are we in the movie now? I.E is it going to get even worse?

spookwoman · 02-03-2018 3:15am

Id check the radar but it says were not getting anything

r93kaey5p2izun · 02-03-2018 3:16am

Very poor visibility in Clondalkin now. And lights flickering.

But there’s no bread !

So far the 'copious' amounts of snow have not materialised as expected from this storm.

Met Eireann talked about one metre of snow falling in parts of Dublin??

Way of that amount at the moment...the snow is falling and swirling here in Dublin 15 but not epic thick snow....yet....

This is going to look amazing when daylight breaks. Most certainly the most snowfall this area (West Clare) has seen in most people's lifetime.

Had been salting an area on front of the door to keep it ice and snow free, useless trying it at this stage snow has won.

Strumms · 02-03-2018 3:19am

Where I am it’s heading towards copious and getting worse

Judging by the latest radar arklow, Gorey and hopefully ferns are gonna get completed plastered soon (I’m not from or in Ferns).

TheMilkyPirate · 02-03-2018 3:21am

Mental in Wexford strong winds and heavy snow the last 8 hours, 2ft drifts in places God knows what the morning will be like

_Whimsical_ · 02-03-2018 3:23am

Windy in Galway city, blowing powdery snow all over the place, it looks unlike anything I've seen before, sometimes like a dense fog. Our cm of snow has become 2cm since 12 o clock too. Exciting times!

leahyl · 02-03-2018 3:23am

Anyone care to tell me if it’s snowing in cork city? I’m in bed and couldn’t be arsed getting out of it....:-D not sound outside so I’m guessing not much has changed from 2 hours ago before I fell asleep

First flicker of the evening here too, was hoping it was the bulb! Am up beside Grange Castle so was hoping we'd avoid a cut due to being close to all those data centres and pharma factories!

Did you not say recently that it was worse than 2010 in D15, Ffarrell tell us where gets the most snow,again and again and again:rolleyes:

Franz Von Peppercorn · 02-03-2018 3:24am

Very weak accumulations here in north coastal Dublin. Lots of tiny snow falling but nothing to show for it. Light dusting on the road.

The netweather radar seems to want to not move the heavier precipitation in the Irish Sea.

weatherfiend · 02-03-2018 3:25am

Huge amounts of snow in Sandyford tonight - and still coming.

It did but not going to argue. That tweet will be all over the news sites later. The description is "fake", over exaggerated rubbish.

As for the extensive power outage, where are you getting the info? Because the ESB is only showing long term cuts that are hitting 20-500 households local to the fault.

20 here, 50 there etc..

Im guessing we're slightly too warm, and the snow really explodes when it hits sub zero temperatures further inland.

HelloMrSnowman · 02-03-2018 3:26am

Having trouble uploading the photos, but measured 39 cm in sheltered non drift area, and 128 cm in drift by my car. Apparently we haven't even been hit properly yet.

Newbridge, Co. Kildare

Quite a lot in raheny on the coast! I would say 20-25cm

Oh without a doubt here too. Garden Shed completely blocked by drifts. My estate now cut off as drifts have come through the fence onto the main road from the field beside us.

J6P · 02-03-2018 3:27am

What time should that reach us? Any danger of it turning back to snow as it meets the cold?

It is worse than 2010.....min D15 anyway...but the 'massive precipitation' promised for tonight has not materialised .....yet

kerrycork13 · 02-03-2018 3:28am

Looking at the maps and models looks feasible that kerry are cork (parts of) will get heavier snow Tommorow

daheff · 02-03-2018 3:28am

Easily 30cm extra here. Some BIG drifts....

Here being Celbridge!

weatherfiend · 02-03-2018 3:29am

Brilliant snow

kerrycork13 · 02-03-2018 3:29am

Kerry and cork should start to see heavier snow Tommorow I reckon

Certainly has in Wexford anyway

patneve2 · 02-03-2018 3:30am

Maybe turning slightly marginal here on the coast..snow a bit wet. Intensity is on the up again and accumulations growing though

Which coast?

Davaeo09 · 02-03-2018 3:31am

I have no idea what to make of the models so far. Granted I am a novice, but I can generally give myself one or two clues and a general idea. Tonights system has been strange to say the least. The radar for most of the Inland south east has shown decent amounts but in reality we have this weak dusty snow that probably doesnt match what we had earlier in the week?

Then looking out to the Irish sea its showing percip heavier than we have already but it weakens over land??

Whats it been like in Wexford (new ross area)??

SortingYouOut · 02-03-2018 3:32am

Fell asleep at half 10 only to wake up at half 1 with no power (back now) and easily 3 inches added to the ground outside. In D4 and I'm thinking this metre could materialize considering these significant accumulations in such a short space of time. Will be an interesting few hours for sure.

Ich bin ein snowman · 02-03-2018 3:33am

Holy Jesus rumbling apendix Christ I’m happy. Really hope all the snow fans get a piece.

From my meager knowledge I’d say the intensity and spread of the blizzard conditions might be more widespread in untouched southern and eastern areas the closer the center of the low gets to south coast. Correct me if I’m wrong but please do think of the children.

gawker · 02-03-2018 3:34am

Power gone now for over an hour in Grand Canal Dublin area. Looks fierce stormy outside.

nimrod86 · 02-03-2018 3:34am

Just saw this, don't think it was posted - Gardaí in a shoot out yesterday!

Yer Da sells Avon · 02-03-2018 3:35am

Apologies if this is a stupid question and/or has been answered already (it's a very long thread and I'm a very busy man), but roughly where is the centre of the storm right now? And when is it expected to hit Dublin?

sicknotexi · 02-03-2018 3:35am

Up all night and yet to see a decent snow shower.Fair play to all you guys who got hit but it has been a major let down here in Monasterevan this morning. It's weird because the only consistent snow I've seen all week has been Tuesday night/Wednesday morning. It snowed all day yesterday but it was virgin snow, harmless as bejaysus.
