UK Met office have a good band of precip across the country at 9.00am on Friday, presume its that bank off Donegal the moment.

Cantona's Collars

Don't forget Ice Road Truckers on History Channel tonight,you can pretend you're one afterwards.:D:D Hasn't snowed in Enniscorthy for a couple of hours,about a foot of it lying though.

LookingFor

Hmmm. Radar has been kind of weird the last couple of updates. Makes it rather marginal for where I am right now We'll see what happens, guess I shouldn't be greedy though

Any way of estimating how long this might last, Doc?

Looking at the radar, if the winds stay as they are, maybe a couple of hours.

Meteox have the wind direction off the east coast for about 6.00pm which is at odds with everyone else, it pushes a big band of precip back onto the east coast

seeing as the image is unreadable

Not a lot - roads and pathways no longer defined really so maybe 2-3 inches. Just starting to snow again now, pretty light though.

Starting to snow lightly here, possibly re-emerging out of the IOM shadow on the Northern side of the precip. 0.7C/-0.9C

Can barely see the houses across the road here in Artane, this monster blizzard has being going about 2.5 hours and judging by the radar only just the start really.
