You must be in Lucan

My house is the same, massive clouds either side of the house !"!! Im plonk in the middle

Further up, just south of blanchardstown village. Draw a line across the 'border' though and yeah, you hit lucan.

I keep trying to be optimistic, and that Lucan will get another good lashing of snow later

( Must keep believing, must keep believing....:o )

snow is very light and more or less inconsequential here all morning.

Your wish is coming true - hail/snow coming down heavy now!

Got a decent fall of snow here over night(Palmerstown). Decent covering on the ground. Snowing on and off all morning. It is sticking.

EDIT: Seems to be getting heavier now?

Are you still in work? Looks like we are going to get good dumping.

Coming down heavy again in Navan.

It's been snowing moderately around Parkwest for the last hour, I'm not fancy driving home in the afternoon, I might break from work earlier.
The winds are visibly shifting towards easterlies and hence the areas previously shadowed by the Isle Of Man might get some snow soon.

Stopped in D2

Clear with sunny skies here in Galway. Now to decide whether to play soccer tonight at 8!

Must be very local; go over the the Cork City board and their snow reports..

You are very welcome indeed to bring wee boy over to play in our snowfields! ( just into West Cork) He would have a ball over here.. The lanes are barely passable though..

We had some snow yesterday, but its mostly gone now.

Might have to take a drive out West!

Seems to be picking up here. We've only had light brushes so far this afternoon...would be nice for something steadily heavier.

Where's here??

lucy2010

been out & about.. stupid stupid crazy drivers out there. a car went sideways downthe hill out & saw a car spin completely out of control. Have a bit of respect for all the kids & pedestrians out there & cop on. Im pretty annoyed at the speeds people are driving on roads that are solid ice & snow. Main roads arent clear & you dont know whats around the corner.


Anyone care to forecast whats still to come for east coast ?

BLIZZARD condidtions here in Blessington

Eased again in south D15. Time to nip to the shop

DWCommuter

It has been pelting down in Naas for the last 45 mins. Roads that were already in a bad way are now even worse. Really just makes you wanna crack open the beer.

This is happening because people simply dont know how to drive in these conditions. Panic sets in.

Crackity Jones

Its a whiteout here in Naas. I just got back from shops before this latest shower. Roads were bad before this.
