Considering how wrong they were so far they're hardly likely to be right now

Much in the north of the county now??? Blizzard here, its wet snow but kinda sticking . ..:D

It was slow to stick in the beginning (on non snow surfaces) as we had a thaw happening as well as the heavy snow, about 2cm so far on the car but a lot more where it had a base of snow to fall on.

this is truly magnificent:D

words fail me

if this lasts for several hours. i won't mind if it doesn't snow for the rest of the winter!

Oh please oh please oh please will it arrive here in N. Donegal???

Breezy, gusty with dark clouds here. I hope it doesn't fizzle out before it reaches here. I'm feeling like it might just reach me but hey what do I know!

Congrats Nacho

As I said to you two days ago, you would get a snowfall that would be supreme over all & its obviously happening for you today.

Well done & to everyone else also who is seeing snowfall.

Will do, nothing yet.

At last, starting to settle and get heavier, swirling around here. Nasty out, I'd say the roads are fine at the moment but if this continues for several hours, could be chaos. Grit anyone?

Looking forward to the Crazy Panic in work when the snow falls ,,,,,screams "How will I get Home ! etc : mass Exodus predicted !

Rain and sleet now and every so often a burst of wet snow (the flakes stick on the ground for a few seconds).

I'd say there is an office in Glasnevin (the pyramid shape one) with a lot of people say WTF!

looks like light rain atm

Breaktown

It's been snowing heavily here for a few hours. Not really sticking, it's just creating a fine layer of slush on the ground.

lol, I got as far as the shops, bought some smokes, and decided I'd go back home as snow was getting heavier, might do the Reek tomorow.

btw, It is pure snow here now, getting even heavier and if it starts sticking will be class.

oh god i hope people have more sense than last week! at least the ground is not as icy at the moment as it was when it snowed last week, so hopefully people will have more sense!

i'm working in dublin city centre, southside. no sign of anything falling from the sky here yet but i'm praying for more snow lol.

Same here can't be too far away looking at the radar

Sleet in Balinteer with huge flakes of snow mixed in. Crossing my fingers this changes to snow-it'd be amazing with the wind so high!
