Be careful how you phrase your sentences or you people will think you're not talking about snow!

I'm in Kildare with bursts of snow and flashes of lightning here and there but going by current weather conditions in Dublin, I'd say you;ll be fine

Roads are so bad my company just told me it's too dangerous to drive all the way home so they're putting some of us up in The Carton House:D:D:D
God bless health and safety.

No additional snow in Dublin 3 but sounds v windy out there. Must be a bitterly cold wind and conditions prob v icy out there. South city sound a lot worse than north.

Damn, my sarcasm was so dry that it appeared that I was being serious!!!

Just witnessed a 4x4 think it was a hilux jeep, career down the hill out side my house, foot on the brake and just slid for 100yards into a lampost. Occupants look ok, pride just took a beatin i'd say.

Jesus lads slow down i don't care what you drive, you haven't a hope out there it treachourous, its starting to bucket down again. Back in 10 mins off to check eldery couple next door, God help them they are terrified feel stranded.

What's it looking like for the east coast for the next few hours? Is the heavy snow still on course for the afternoon?

No fresh snow here in Waterford since Saturday. We can only hope for that system over Wales now to push over the Irish Sea and give something. Looks like Dublin have been pasted all night long, lucky you

This muck will clear during the morning, cold Siberian air is tucked in behind it. proper snow showers back by 12ish.

Hi Weathercheck, what is your confidence level on this for areas near the coast such as the city centre of Dublin ? Is this likely to see actual snow instead of sleet ?

Yeah my dad said lots of snow forecast and I said to him, ah they're always wrong. And they are, I think after hurricane Charlie they just cover themselves.

Don't think so flanzer, some areas might not have got it, but we certinally did its bedlam outside my front door, joys of living on a main road on foothills of Dublin mountains. We have a good 6 inches, higher than the kerbs so footpaths have become roads and vica versa. Company has also closed for today on advice of AA, roads to dangerous for rear wheel drive Transits. Intel putting staff in Hotels as are Hp, info i'm getting from a Garda friend is the Airport is having a check a 7am, runways are packed with slush and have had some trouble with lightening.
