From looking at Twitter, it seemed like the power went in loads of places (D1, 2, 6, 8, Dun Laoghaire, Sallynoggin) at the exact same time (1:35). My lights (in Greystones) flickered at that time too, but I still have power (for now).

Its not. Not had so much as a flicker of the lights in Dublin 6. I hate these sort of posts (no offence).

The is no snow/power is out in my street so the whole country is the same.

I’m in Harold’s cross that is Dublin 6 and I can definitely confirm the power is absolutely out

It would be more useful if people could provide information on the accumulations rather than snow type.

Here it's mounting up. Still relatively fine snow though.

In Navan hard to judge accumulations, possibly 2-3cm as old tyre tracks and footprints have disappeared. Strong gusts blowing snow grains. Drifts are incredible, never seen anything like it. Neighbour across from me will get some land when he opens his door in the morning as snow is nearly a third the way up his front door!

Seriously EPIC here in manor Kilbride ❤️

Power just gone in Dalkey. Using the last of my phone juice to post this

Back again after half an hour or so.

The power is back on again at Blackrock in Dublin. Hooray!

Assetbacked · 02-03-2018 2:59am

Fuse box making noise like an engine since coming back on; how do I make it stop?

Vxlks · 02-03-2018 2:59am

Wi-Fi gone out in D14. But power seems fine? I think it's Virgin Media? Anybody else having a problem?

mhiggy09 · 02-03-2018 2:59am

A disappointment in Cavan only very light icy snow since this storm has arrived. Early this morning till about 5/6 we had constant moderately heavy snow from the east

SweetCaliber · 02-03-2018 2:59am

Went for a fast walk, roads arent 2 - 3 feet but not far off 1.4 feet to be exact, this was taken on the road outside my house in Tramore:

He caught the power outage - bright electrical arc immediately before the cut, I suspect that's what people saw when they mentioned lightning.

Same in Kimmage, no issues. Still lashing down to use a technical term. A few inches of fine snow added since this evening. Not too dramatic but enough to keep me looking out at it anyway.

Fian · 02-03-2018 3:00am

power went out in dundrum, for about 60 seconds. Then it came back, my tripswitch had flipped so i had lights but not sockets.

After i flicked it back sockets came back but no internet, for 10 minutes or so. obviously back again or i would not be posting.

Alarms ringing everywhere in Ringsend, the entire surrounding area has been plunged into darkness. Only the 3 Arena lights appear to be on. Still snowing like mad.

I should never have left Dublin to live in the country. It sounds so exciting there!

I've nothing to look at but fecking stars. In the sky. Oh well...

super_furry · 02-03-2018 3:00am

Yeah seems the coastal areas in Dublin are missing out slightly. In Shankill and now it’s been very slow and steady today and continues to be so. The snow that’s falling is pretty wet and you get the feeling that it could disappear quickly when the sun comes out.

pauldry · 02-03-2018 3:00am

Tryin to make sense of radars

It seems to me that the rain/snow is gaining intensity as it goes over the warmish sea but loses it over the relatively low humidity land hence the small flakes

Tomorrow during daylight i dont forsee any further accumulations for Connaught and Ulster but the rising humidity is producing heavier snow by the minute on the windward sides of Leinster and Munster

These areas will finish with exceptional totals in parts

I am up the road and its on. These are local things not postal code things. Just because you have lost power in Dublin 6, it does not mean the whole area is dead.

Will shops in town be open in town tomorrow?

jooksavage · 02-03-2018 3:02am

Just got up to feed the baba. Doesn't look like much snow fallen in Thurles yet. Bloody cold though. Hopefully we can avoid altogether the kind of falls folks in Kildare are experiencing.

I’d swap you for it.

dublinman1990 · 02-03-2018 3:03am

That is quite dramatic. It could happen again through the night. Would it be safe to turn off lights with these electrical arcs of lightening.

Raheny and Clontarf aren't missing out on anything.

Snow is about 20cm thick in places.

Went out there for five minutes and I couldn't hack it even in full gear.

They should have said "in Dublin" not "over Dublin". Gives the impression the entire city went dead when it did not.

Doubt it in Munster and Leinster. Red warning in place. Anyone goes driving in that needs a talking to. Not sure about the rest of the country.

_Dara_ · 02-03-2018 3:05am

Zero degrees currently and apparently rising!

MJohnston · 02-03-2018 3:05am

Phone struggled to adjust the focus correctly at the beginning here, and of course you never really see the full extent of snowfall on a video, but it's just insane outside in Cabra at the minute (take a look at the power lines to see how strong the winds are)

Power cut to 6900 customers in Wicklow Town and surrounds, I'm no expert but one fault to take that many people offline must be a serious one.

Exact same thing happened during storm Ophelia, too. Whatever it is, something isn't right with the grid connection out there.

No. It doesn't.

Mullaghteelin · 02-03-2018 3:06am

Perhaps no more than a couple of inches or 5cm in balbriggan, with drifts against walls of up to a foot max.

pad199207 · 02-03-2018 3:07am

Visibility getting slowly worse here in Naas.

sryanbruen · 02-03-2018 3:08am

I've still not had a power cut.

Do I see potential rain heading for Rosslare on the netweather radar? Is that still accurate, think someone said earlier it was being a bit funny!

I hope ye all are reduced to candle lights in affected areas- it will mean a better story to tell to future generations:D

75 year old Gabeeg reminiscing : i remember the falll of March 2018, when we were reduced to candelight by night with a whiskey in hand...
Come morning, with a massive hangover, i was shocked to discover i could not open the front door- i was snowed in for a week and had to survive on bread and Whiskey for seven days:o

Why would there be so many power cuts in Dublin.
