I'm getting mighty sick and tired of it all now. Had to walk home from Dublin city centre to Lucan yesterday because the shaggin buses came to a standstill. It took 3 hours. Took a snow day from work today but that cant continue. Anyone got the slightest idea when this weather will pass?

Dark angry looking clouds coming in over Wicklow town from the sea!!!

Snow has changed in the past ten mins, now huge big swirly flakes, as opposed to the smaller faster flakes all day

Anyone think there'll be a slight shift in wind direction so that Enfield might get a taste of what Dublin's experiencing? Hasn't been even a flutter of snow here since the early hours this morn.

Am I right in thinking the radar is showing precip from roughly a NNE direction at the moment? Or have I got that completely wrong?

30cm of snow here now (measured where it's flat and level), up from 21cm this morning. Still chucking it down!

Anybody with a dodgy attic conversion watch out!

KizzyMonster

Snowing again now in Trinity College...
Not as heavy as before but much bigger and fluffier flakes...

My apartment is opposite the O2 so I have a perfect view of the utter chaos there. Sooner or later a lorry isnt going to make it over the bridge and its game over.

SC, I pose the question .... If the friggin East Link is a paid commodity.... why the hell arent they out clearing it if you must pay to use the poxy thing ???????:eek:

Some amount of snow has fallen in the last 2 hours, i'd say around 2-3 inches.

Everything is at a standstill!

The NNE is the wind for here!:D:D

Jaysus. Thats some distance. I walked from Grafton Street to Finglas yesterday, and I though that was bad!

Hoping I won;t have to do it again today

I was halfway to Chapelizod when I realised that I could have done that, but I am a fair distance away from Adamstown too, more the Liffey Valley end of Lucan. Its a head melter, if this keeps up I will have calves the size of tree trunks, not a good look in the Christmas party frocks

irelandspurs

Bright sunshine all day,hope the clouds head toward portarlington,could see them in the distance over dublin.

Bucketing down at the moment!
