    Still snowing here in Rialto. I'm meant to be cycling over to a friend near Dorset Street this evening. Is this wise or even possible?

    Why do people get in their cards without taking the snow off the roof...and then wonder why they end up swerving after it all dumps down on their windscreens??!! :rolleyes:

    Hiya Trog

    whats your verdict for the next while... really need to try get out & get to Tesco somehow......... supplies well depleated after 5 days of this .... Its started here Friday night so you can imagine the cabin fever lol

    Well i think winds over the sea will be turning gradually more Northerly, directing the current stream of showers which has been feeding North dublin in a more Southerly direction possibly towards us. But they will continue to turn further towards North still, until the showers run begin to run straight down the sea again (if there still are showers) by midnight. I expect to see a bit more snow here this evening but it's hard to know exactly how much, it depends really on how the showers form up. Temperatures will also begin to fall very sharply once the sun goes down (very soon) and it will be much colder than the last few nights.

    Yep - I can feel the change there now this evening... ice slicks by the morning.. Please God may they keep the schools closed one more day as I dont fancy any dangerous drama now in the morning ...... Bad enough on a frosty morning let alone compacted ice & snow

    Stopped for well over an hour with nothing here. Just starting to spit down again now, but roads looked ok even during the worst (best) of it earlier.

    Temperature just plummeted here in Trim, Meath. The ice was starting to melt off the roof of the boiler shed in the garden, and off the roofs of houses, but just went out and in fifteen minutes, huge big icicles have formed everywhere
    Big evil looking cloud coming fom Navan too, but its moving really really slowly. Hasnt snowed here since at least 9am today (when I got up :D )

    Being snowing pretty much non stop in dublin 12 since about 11, apart from about 3 or 4 10 minute breaks. For the most part its being very heavy snow, just measured and theres 8 and half inches in my back garden (about 3-4 inches there before) This is unreal, and doesn't look like stopping anytime soon :eek:
