ninebeanrows · 25-02-2010 6:05am

Redsunset · 25-02-2010 6:05am

Good man WC,i feel for ya,you really do deserve a good pasting.your location sucks though.maybe a freezing easterly can save you soon.

ninebeanrows · 25-02-2010 6:11am

IvySlayer · 25-02-2010 6:12am

Why, did ya move under a volcano?:D

ninebeanrows · 25-02-2010 6:16am

I notice some pulses forming over Wicklow and heading due north

Snow heading south-north, only in this winter could that happen!

Meanwhile proper snow is falling here now!

Trying to stick to cars..

Redsunset · 25-02-2010 6:21am

Quick question WC,is the posting of Met Eireann images stopped?

Good your getting some action now

sdanseo · 25-02-2010 6:21am

Sleety rain here right by Broadmeadow Estuary - doesnt feel cold enough to snow properly. Not sticking to anything other than a slight glisten on cars; barely discernable. I can hear dripping too which is REALLY frustrating! :P

ninebeanrows · 25-02-2010 6:21am

We are managing to miss the decent chunks of precip here, the main chunk just slipped off to our northwest, hoping this new one will give the precip intensity needed.

IvySlayer · 25-02-2010 6:24am

It's already beginning to thaw around the edges.

Still snowing, light though.

There's always hope

Noticeable on windscreens now and cars but street is sopping wet.

ninebeanrows · 25-02-2010 7:05am

Just heard the fog horns of what i assume is a ferry heading into Dublin Harbour

So calm out there and medium snow falling now.

ninebeanrows · 25-02-2010 7:07am

I would say alot of the commutet belt is going to wake up to a decent fall of snow.

Inland off the east coast got a far fall of snow i would imagine.

Totally unknown to them right now!!

ninebeanrows · 25-02-2010 7:15am

So messy out there, amount or precip is alot, again another what if time but still falling and starting to white the grass.

ninebeanrows · 25-02-2010 7:22am

Mod snow falling and beginning to lie, should have cleared in next 30mins though.

25-02-2010 7:25am

Snow falling here and lying

ninebeanrows · 25-02-2010 7:29am

Small covering here now

:D

thomasj · 25-02-2010 7:32am

Didnt see this coming ! Grass and cars out in clonsilla covered. paths also covered in some places but roads are too wet.

Sleeted from around 230-430 then turned more to snow. only really snow here from 530- present

DOCARCH · 25-02-2010 7:44am

About 2cms of snow on the ground here and still snowing. 0.8c DP 0.4c

Good sneaky snow!

Well not really - fair play to you WC for highlighting yesterday.

piskins72 · 25-02-2010 7:45am

all white in Enfield! and I was awake until after 3 and there had been nothing by then! looks a few cm thick on car but paths clear enough

Jonnykitedude · 25-02-2010 7:50am

Left my house between navan and kells at 4.40am took over 1.30mins to get to work in town. Snow was really heavy with about 2inchs already..............damm work but at least Im here now hate to be coming in later!!!!

WIZE · 25-02-2010 8:08am

Celbridge got a lovely covering of snow . That was a surprize to wake up to:)

whitemocha · 25-02-2010 8:21am

ha ha snow in saggart good call weathercheck:D

bray man · 25-02-2010 8:22am

Must've snowed here overnight too, the snowline is very nearly right down to the coast

*eadaoin · 25-02-2010 8:24am

just woke up to a lovely sprinkling of snow here in dundrum (dublin 14)

whiteandlight · 25-02-2010 8:33am

Just woke up to maybe 1.5-2cm in maynooth!

Heroditas · 25-02-2010 8:46am

Lucan covered in snow.
Roads appear to be ok though.
According to the radio, Navan and Ratoath got about 3 inches!

DOCARCH · 25-02-2010 8:48am

Snow just stopped now. Snow cover everywhere except roads and pavements.

Vudgie · 25-02-2010 8:52am

Excellent call by WC, tip of the hat.

Good covering on cars and roofs this morning in D16 but otherwise extremely wet. Closer I got to City Centre the wetter it got. City Centre is more sleeting with rubbish wet roads. Forecast to clear as the morning goes on but a nice teaser.

irishmotorist · 25-02-2010 9:10am

There was about 2cm or so settled in Lucan this morning. What a nice surprise to wake up to.

flamegrill · 25-02-2010 9:16am

Carlow had about 1.5cm on top of the cars this morning. The thaw had already started at 07:50 but it looked nice. Good call WC.

Paul.

jambofc · 25-02-2010 9:22am

:eek::eek::eek::eek::D
3cm of the lovely white stuff,thawing out incredibly fast,roads and paths now totally clear and the dreaded drip,drip,drip can now be heard.

great call wc

sushisushi · 25-02-2010 9:38am

This doesn't seem to have gone further north than Dublin, did it? I'm in D13 and I suspect that we may be on the north edge of the fall, considering the reports here and the small scattering that's stuck to the cars and grass outside. The roads are really wet still and there's nothing stuck to concrete that I can see.

Nah, we got it in Monaghan too.

lucy2010 · 25-02-2010 9:42am

Full covering in Bray - good 1.5-2 cm...Was so not expecting this ..

jambofc · 25-02-2010 9:45am

cant find any batterys,so just out the window pics im afraid

snowjon · 25-02-2010 9:46am

Heavy rain here most of the morning which turned to sleet 30 mins ago and now:

IT'S SNOWING!!!!

Very wet snow with no chance of settling but nice to see nonetheless

Tom Cruises Left Nut · 25-02-2010 10:09am

So surprised to wake up to snow this morning !! :pac:

A little pic from Sallins train station attached !

Big Nasty · 25-02-2010 10:22am

Nice little sprinkling in D18!

Are we due any more this morning or is that it?

jprboy · 25-02-2010 10:46am

What a call from WC ! (who is probably getting some well earned zzzzs now after the night vigil).

Couldn't believe it when I looked out the window at 7.00 am. We had approx 2.5 cm here (few miles south of Nenagh in North Tipp). This followed the 2 cm we got between 18.15 and 19.30 on Tuesday evening.

Be interesting to hear from others how far west and northwest this occurred.

Well done again, WC !

Rebelbrowser · 25-02-2010 10:50am

Its amazing how often you guys on the East coast see snow. That must be your 6th or 7th this winter. We got snow here down here once this winter (though Cork airport bizzarely recorded it as their heaviest ever!) on 10 Jan but that was our first snow since Christmas day 2004! Before that, I don't recall any snow since 1991! That's two snow falls in 19 years! Its amazing you could have that difference in weather over the space of 150 miles on a small island

redsteveireland · 25-02-2010 11:16am

Hey Tinners, are you awake? How's the snow holding up around your area? I should be up that area later and it might be my only chance to see some this winter!
