The Dublin radar has gone offline at 20.30, thats why there's nothing to be seen.

See that on the met.ie website yet Raintoday seemed to have more showers on it than the equivalent met one..strange.

This has definitely reached "Event" status.

My dad crashed his car earlier.. 15mph & yet slid straight into a deep ditch and totalled the bonnet. Thankfully he wasn't hurt, plenty of sugary tea sorted him out fairly lively.

Still hasn't dampened my love of the snow.

it lookin more like that the bubbling up in the sea is dying out and if it dose it spells the end for snow for the time being

At country level it does. Just click on Ireland on the map and you'll see the red alert out for all regions.
