Big Freeze Discussion / Heavy snow & Blizzards continue - 02/12/2010

I'll kick this one off this morning :) Blanchardstown packed with snow. The IOM shadow is still lurking. PS: Tomorrow could be interesting too if what Met Eireann say may happen - westerly systems hitting cold air.

I'm in Dublin 13 near Howth. We're in the IOM shadow. Clear skies above us.
I can see a massive streamer to the north. Just to my north and slightly out to sea there is clearly visible large snowstorm.

Not knowing where you live I'd suggest Milletts or Great Outdoors for a good pair of walking shoes or boots. Just make sure you buy nice thick socks as well.

Jaysus, I woke up in Maynooth only to get shocked by an additional 4-5 inches that fell overnight. I was not expecting that. Going by the radar there's more to come over the next few hours as Maynooth is in a shooting line of the streamers north of the IOM shadow and they keep bubbling up.

Now, lads, I'm from Poland and such amounts of snow are not unusual for me, but this is slowly starting to get serious even from my point of view. Somehow I can't imagine the rest of the winter looking like that, I think we will see a lot of snow over the next months but not accumulations like today/tomorrow.

My wife took a train to Connolly in the morning and spent 3 hours in it as it got stopped for an hour in Leixlip and another at Broomsbridge.

EDIT: just started bucketing down again!

hehe sorry, I'm just bitter (no pun intended:)) , I'm one of the Isle of Man
Shadow victims.

But in general is good to 'encourage' people to include their location when
giving information about conditions etc..

This is the third year in a row in West Dublin (Castlenoc/Blanch/Lucan) Weathercheck that we have had very serious snowfall so it is not a once in a life time in these parts. Skerries and lusk always manage to escape the snow. I know it snows a bit but I still cannot understand why it does not stick for long. In Malahide and Portmarnock and indeed Howth there have been large amounts and there still is, especaiily Howth. Balbriggan has a lot apparently also. Maybe you could throw some lgiht on this.:):):)

Sunny here in Bray now, a couple of inches still on the ground, I reckon there will be a thaw today. Weathercheck, Met Eireann are forecasting snow from this front tomorrow, they are forecasting it to hit around dawn, will this increase chances of snow or are we looking at rain only along the coast?

Nothing much out this way again. I guess the IOM shadow strikes again

On the plus side, traffic was very light into work this morning.

If he's put the prices up just because of the snow then I would be doing everything I could to ensure I never shop there again... and I'd tell him that too.

Just went for a quick walk around the fields near my house and it is magnificent out there. Snowing lying at least 20 cm in places, the poor dog was struggling through it. A few flakes falling as I type.

Not with force! Just a 3 minute shower for me!

Radar also shows it dying! Hopefully it is a good sign though.

I bought these in the Great Outdoors on Tuesday. http://www.outdoormegastore.co.uk/acatalog/Olang_Patty_Women_s_Snow_Boots.html

I can walk at my normal pace on the icy/slushy footpaths so I'm delighted with them. They cost me 55 euro. I know they were running very low on stock so not sure if they've any left at this stage.

I woke up this morning happy that we finally got the snow that I wished for, 4-5 inches in Kilkenny.
Then I come on here and view the photos from Wicklow and Wexford and now I want more - Snow envy is an awful thing!

Leixlip got about 2-3 inches last night, up to 6 inches overall now. It's been snowing heavily for the last 30 minutes. Luckily I can work from home (hook into work email etc. via VPN) and have been doing so all week. Trying to clear my email here so I can head our and clear the driveway. Actually looking fwd to it

Coming down heavy in Celbridge again. Looks like we're in the direct path of streamers now. Take that Isle of Man.
