yeahimhere · 07-12-2010 12:11am

snowing quite abit up in Dublin 16 - very small flakes but a lot of them. However nothing like we saw last week.

ingen · 07-12-2010 12:12am

there will be a lot of people stuck in the morning........

del88 · 07-12-2010 12:12am

really heavy in donaghamede

H2UMrsRobinson · 07-12-2010 12:12am

Most of the oomph has been sucked out of this by the Droghedians by looks of it...they don't have the isle of man shadow or M50 Shadow to contend with... lucky b*****d's

alexonhisown · 07-12-2010 12:12am

Snowing in D13 for the last half hour, really sticking

andrewie · 07-12-2010 12:13am

gucciali · 07-12-2010 12:14am

coming down very fast here in Tallaght D24 for the last two hours or so , although very small light drops !

Do we reckon Tonight's gonna be epic ?:)

verywell · 07-12-2010 12:15am

Snowing away in Carlow the last couple of hours.

What will that mean for the roads in the morning? They were full of ice today and now with fresh snow could that possibly mean that it might be easier/worse to drive on?

wobblyknees · 07-12-2010 12:15am

After the last week, and what is an area that usually gets 'hit' by the isle of man shadow, I'd say this is probably the most snow Balbriggan has seen in years. In particular today, it started earlier at approx 5-6 and has been snowing non stop since then. This evening the snow has accumulated faster than the past week, I'd say we've had at least 10cm. The kids were still awake so got them out of bed (once I'd seen the school was closed tomorrow) and we made a family of snowmen! Great fun and has really taken my mind off other worries and problems playing with them in the snow....If only life was that simple again......

Now snowing lightly in D9
