Same here in Portlaoise.

Kermit.de.frog · 03-03-2019 4:15pm

Dublin's chance is increasingly through the evening for some snow as winds tend to go off shore.

No doubt the precipitation will be lacking by then though?

cnocbui · 03-03-2019 4:26pm

The display screen on my camera after coming in out of the blizzard.

The snow is light and fluffy and defying gravity in turbulent swirls.

Down to 2 degrees in Cork City now but feels bitter outside with winds gusts, Cork Airport says they are around 41kts. Meanwhile waterford is at 5kts and kerry at 7kts according to recent reports. Very localised it seems.

pad199207 · 03-03-2019 4:42pm

My god the difference when ya get out of Dublin

Kermit.de.frog · 03-03-2019 4:46pm

Turning to sleet here now near Dub airport

Mam of 4 · 03-03-2019 4:48pm

We had huge flakes falling earlier , then swirling smaller ones . Now it's a mixture of both , there has been no let up for nearly two hours . Portlaoise .

highdef · 03-03-2019 4:48pm

Temp just hit 0c in North Kildare. Heavy to very heavy snow now (and I don't use the term "very heavy" very often) and sticking to all surfaces.

RobertKK · 03-03-2019 4:48pm

Finally it is snowing.

esposito · 03-03-2019 4:49pm

Snow starved Dublin might finally get in on the action in the next few hours. Won’t stick but it will be nice to see it falling all the same

Kiith · 03-03-2019 4:49pm

Been snowing heavily in Monasterevin for the last hour or two. It's actually sticking as well, and starting to build up. Probably won't last, but looks great

mirrorwall14 · 03-03-2019 4:50pm

Um it’s pouring snow in north kildare now and starting to stick. I didn’t think it was gonna be this heavy?

mfceiling · 03-03-2019 4:51pm

Visibility is near zero on the m9 near athy and the motorway is totally white.

SleetAndSnow · 03-03-2019 4:53pm

tiny tiny little bit of snow being blown around in the gusts now in Cork actually. Very tiny though.

pad199207 · 03-03-2019 4:55pm

Heavy Snow in Kildare. Readily sticking

highdef · 03-03-2019 4:57pm

Surprised by a lack of upgrade to Orange warning. Many parts of the midlands are being pasted now. Traffic is crawling on parts of the M4, M7 and M9. There's a crash on the southbound carriageway on the M7 near Portlaoise and the road is blocked.

Temperatures are getting very close 0c in a lot of places. I think people need to be provided with updated warnings that reflect this situation as there's a lot more snow falling in some places than anticipated.
