23cm on the grass now

i'm never going to see as much snow again as this in Ireland in my lifetime. i don't think that's engaging in hyperbole.

How much is there generally there now? Just wondering how much extra there is on the grass as I dont want to ruin the blanket by walking through it to measure the grass :pac:

Light snow in the past half an hour but its been an hour now since we've had heavy snow. Guessing theres 25cm now widespread, closer to 30cm in places where its drifted

10 inches is 25cm so you're actually downgrading by measuring the grass if thats correct

The bbc radar shows nothing for Donegal tomorrow , It has the west of Ireland covered tomorrow evening though I think.

Gorgeous here in Douglas. Five cm of the most perfect powder snow lying everywhere. Couldn't be happier.

Dollseyes

Snowing again here (just outside ballina town co.mayo) I'd say there is good 9 inches out there if not more.
