Just stopped snowing heavily in Leixlip. Was heavy enough earlier to send collegues scrambling for their cars in fear that they might not make it home!

The drama, the drama...

Is that on Seapoint Rd? I hope the Main St is passable at least.

Yep, traffic is moving on main street although there is a lot of brown slush about..

Starting to snow very heavily again in Dublin West (Castleknock). 7 cm at least has fallen perhaps more which gives us here an overall covering of about 10/11 centimetres with thick eyes mixed in and underneath. Just I am typing this there is a blizzard outside mixture of snow snow and graupel!!!!:D:D Glad you have gotten a few falkes in Waterford. Maybe Cork may get a little also.:D:D:D:D

Was that measured or guesstimated ?

Its getting very interesting now! Cirrus is now appearing and its coming from the east, the low clouds are still approaching from a NNE direction. The sky over the Irish Sea is now turning very dark!:cool:

above post at 1133.
I knew it, when I saw the cirrus going in a different direction to the lower clouds I knew there was something on but I have to admit I wasn't expecting thundersnow!

I do believe the movie "The day after tomorrow" was based on the snow showers on the east coast here:rolleyes: anyway still snowing on and off here in Wicklow town

Snowing in Waterford City!

About as light as it gets but yes it's snowing!

Stopped here in CC, however the hail that came down has covered everything, total whiteout.

If it snows on top of that it will make things worse come the drive home. In fact, the hail thats lying I would say will just be compacted into ice sheets.

Take care out there if you're on the road !

from those pics you would swear it was snowing and settling on the ground. Couldn't be though...this is Ireland.

It would appear that everybody is leaving work early in Dublin resulting in one big traffic snarl up. My advice would be stay in work until 5 and the worst should be over in terms of traffic and snow!

Roads around KCR 10 mins were slippy
