ninebeanrows

2 showers came in there! one to my south and a bigger one to my north, i got a little flurry, the jinx continues:D

DOCARCH

Lashing down snow atm and sticking!

Villain

Big shower in Tullow again

ninebeanrows

I'd say gonzos getting a nice filling now.

Scubadevils

Yeah I think the bigger one to your north wc is over me now, pretty heavy again and proper snow. If its any help, the last lot melted pretty quickly!

Edit - bucketing down now, heaviest I've seen this week.

Solair

We're seeing some light snow in the city centre (Cork) at the moment. Nothing's sticking and it's not exactly a bizzard, more of a light sprinkling.

There's a lot of snow in the sky though, quite dark yellowish clouds forming.

Mothman

A few flakes
1.8/+0.1C

Small flakes starting to drop. There is a big dark snow cloud over head. Not sure if it is going to drop its load !

This is great! I've waited so long for proper snow!

When I went out earlier the slush was very slippery - can I suggest we snow lovers all keep an eye on our elderly neighbours? Don't want them risking a broken hip for the sake of a loaf of bread we could easily pick up for them.

Tiny shower just stopped. Little flurry for Dublin City Centre.

Not looking good for another stick.

It's hard to tell because there's still a lot of snow and slush there from last night! Just had a look out at the road there though and it is looking a bit whiter. It's turned into a calmer shower now, nice big snowflakes

Cool, just hope it pushes over Finglas.

Not a sniff really in town !

Doing the same in Ardee at the moment, but no doubt it won't stick.

Am fed up of this snow teasing me

DOCARCH

Fair play! Scene here about 15 minutes ago.





Last shower gave a covering everywhere - will be slush again probably in a couple of minutes but at least it's snow and not rain.

Fair play to the Eagle too who chuckled this morning saying its not over yet!

jenzz

horrific in kilmacanogue/ kilpeddar. Left Bray not a jot sun shining 2 seconds later complete carnage - turned onto southerncross route down to Charlesland - straight off the road . Seriously nearly wet myself.. Had to be towed out. only getting to kilcoole now ! where in gods name did that come from

barnicles

Light snow here but a good bit on ground

Supercell

Just back from a walk in the fields. Easily a foot of level snow there with massive drifts near hedges, several times stepped into drifts that went up to my knees

jobucks

we seem to be getting our first proper blast of snowage, only pity is the ground is absolutely soaked from the rain, so no chance of stickage:(:cool:

Very very light snow in Navan, everything on the ground is melting..

Gonzo

snow shower stopped about 40 minutes ago but the thaw has beeen quite quick since but its now dark and snowing again so hopefully another toppup

I feel this could be the end of it for today tho, there is nothing on the radar between here and france., wickow and wexford might still get some of the stuff thats over wales.
