Matt Le Tissue

maddest thunder ever

eigrod

Thunder, lightening, snow & a beautiful orange sky. We're getting it all this evening. Meant to snow for the next few hours right over Greystones.

Tis very White out there now . I hope the sheep are cleared from the field at the top of the Farrankelly road in the morning so I my son can sledge down the hill.

Didn't hear the thunder the first time but felt the rumble and the doors in my house shook big time!

Heard the last two rumbles and all of a sudden the place is covered in snow too! Ha!

Hope we don't get the same severe weather as last year, I can't take more of those traffic jams.

Not sure about maddest thunder ever but earlier on (a couple of hours ago) I saw bright white flashes in the sky a couple of times... I wasn't sure if it was actually lightning or not but if it was then it was really strange to see it appear so intensly white!

See my above post. Field at top of the road to the N11. Last year it was packed with election posters, plastic boxes and anything that can be used as a sledge really!

Just looking at met.ie and the animated radar - looks like some nice snow/sleet coming our way up from Wexford.

There is also the http://www.irelandsweather.com website which shows temps locally.

I like snow and all that. However I've been stuck in CDG Paris for the last 8.5 hours and I'm quite bored. Hence I'm posting here! I just hope the snow holds off till I get home. What's it doing outside now!

dr ro

Just started snowing again I'm afraid. Pretty heavy too.

LEIN

Thread title changed.

Any reports of snow and ice to be posted here. (for local area only)

What makes it worse is that right up to the time it started snowing, there was a bit of freezing fog, so the stuff that's down is frozen over and there's 1cm of fresh stuff down.

If you're stuck and need anything done, FirstIn, I'm just a few doors up from you.

Just wondering if SickCert or anyone else in the know is about...

Seeing that the 184s were terminating in Charlesland today, is there a possibility that the 84x will only run from here in the morning too? Obviously there's nothing up on the DB website yet, probably won't have anything up until after I'm supposed to head for work.

Renn

Ugh, need to get the 84x to town tomorrow. Likelyhood of this happening?

Son of Jack

According to 21.45 update, Bus Eireann are not operating south of Bray.

84 and 184 both terminating at Bray Station.

LEIN

Dart should be pretty packed in the morning so.

That site seems good, but isn't it supposed to snow tonight? Or does snow count as percipitation...
