Met Eireann has issued a warning for 4-8 inches of snow in Dublin tonight.

They've issued a warning for 6-10 inches in Wicklow.

I think some media are going straight for the 10 inches and reporting that as for the east in general, but the met's warning is a bit more subtle than that.

Even more subtly, that warning is for tonight, tomorrow and tomorrow night, so not all in one go.

Heaviest shower of the day so far right now in Sandyford. Big Flakes this time around.

Guys I hate to be a party pooper.

While it is exciting to predict how much/when the snow will fall, there are people who are in vulnerable positions.

Yours truly is one such person. I am a wheelchair user and i chose not to drive into work this morning. I decided to take a taxi.

I asked the driver to call back to my place of work at 4pm today. As the day progressed, I was advised to ask him to come at 3pm.

At approx 2.30pm, the Safety Officer where I work advised me to get off the premises and home asap, as there was "significant" snowfall due.

There were a few snide remarks that there was a case of discrimination happening. The Safety Officer was told that it was unfair that I was getting preferential treatment.

Do these people not realise how difficult it is for people in my position to get around safely in conditions like these??

I will be bringing this issue to light with my union Shop Steward and various managers in my workplace.

Hmm M50 looks good...

I wonder how much snow north county dublin will get?

lucernarian

Unfortunately, the M2 buoy has been rising slightly in temperature since 2pm. Air temperature of nearly 6 degrees with a dewpoint of nearly 1 degree.

I think the coastline of Dublin anyway will still have to wait for their snow fix until tomorrow morning. I'd want the windspeeds to be near 20 knots to avoid the amount of air mixing that's going to spoil the show along the coast at least. This sort of speed is not forecast until later tonight and early tomorrow morning.

I'm much more confident of snow in Dublin city later tomorrow morning though:)
