Snow is falling between Ballincollig and Macroom in Cork.

super_furry · 03-02-2009 8:14am

It's pretty much all gone in Dublin. We got jipped again.

Villain · 03-02-2009 8:25am

sleet here now too, 15cm of snow but very slowly melting in places, Met Eireann have now gone for rain and sleet more so than snow, that warm sector was just too warm

Murph100 · 03-02-2009 8:32am

A light covering of snow here in Kerry near Castlemaine, but pretty poor considering I live on a mountain !

What is the current condition of the Naas road outbound to Naas?

I'm debating weather to chance it, my da was stuck for 4 hours on it last night..

jambofc · 03-02-2009 8:37am

raining heavily in trim

how the hell can they get the weather so wrong,schools are all closed around here because of the forecast of heavy snow :eek:

Villain · 03-02-2009 8:39am

Its not an exact science, and if they hadn't forecast snow and it did snow people would be even more annoyed, they have downgraded their forecast for today already

mukki · 03-02-2009 8:52am

it finally snowed near kells last night, very light covering.

It's fine at the moment, I just drove the stretch from the redcow to citywest
and there was no sign of any tailbacks.

Highsider · 03-02-2009 9:14am

Had to dig my way out from the front door to the car this morning. Yeah right :rolleyes:

Davo D · 03-02-2009 9:16am

One of the most disappointing events in weather watching. Ah well, just another 20 years to wait for the chance again *looks at watch*

pistolpetes11 · 03-02-2009 9:20am

We have a good covering in Newbridge but I fear the thaw is on the way ,0.8 and DP 0f 0.0,

Was expecting big things this morning !

Its all over now i presume ?

Sierra Oscar · 03-02-2009 9:20am

Snowing here at the moment, and a decent covering already is in place!:)

Munster_Gal · 03-02-2009 9:22am

A light covering in Co Limerick last night. Fierce disappointed!!!! Expected more

Had to come into work

DOCARCH · 03-02-2009 9:23am

Still a good 2 inches of snow on the grass here - rain has stopped but on the roads and pavements rain and melt is stuck under the slush...very slippy.

The Eagle on the radio this morning said to expect more (rain:() sleet and snow possibly anywhere during the week as fronts move down from the north.

Ciaran500 · 03-02-2009 9:25am

Snow, slush, rain and a cutting breeze here in Lucan. I don't even bother going into college if its just raining, no moving today.

Wibbler · 03-02-2009 9:25am

Well in Swords, Dublin we had few nice showers of snow early evening yesterday, leading to a temporary covering a few mm thick. It was nice while it lasted. Despite some light snow last night it started thawing and I awoke this morning to wet miserable conditions, instead of the winter wonderland I was hoping for. :rolleyes:

I don't want to start a new thread, since many still have snow. However looking forwards for those of us not out building snowmen this morning...

The folks over at NW think we are in for an interesting February. So what can we expect in the coming weeks? Any repeats of the recent snow? Could we get something better?

(and finally Will Dublin *ever* see an 80's style snow event within our lifetimes? :rolleyes:)
