you wont belive it its just belted down there for a few seconds, place is pure white almost, say looks like more to come ( i wish, i wish, i wish):D

Yeah, very weird. Flakes in the air at the moment. No sign of it on the radar though. Saw the passing heavier stuff too, but again, according to the radar nothing's reached here.

Hmm. Gives me a little more hope for the rest of the stuff in the irish sea coming further inland though.

Developing situation maybe ? Up til now they havn't been even getting to the coast.

I'm not (on a coast). I was just making an observation. I'm in Meath at the moment, inland of Rathoath and already had a snow shower here about 40 minutes ago.

Light snow here again. Things still look promising on radar for Dublin, Meath and later Louth I think.

snowbabe

Gorgeous huge white fluffy clouds tinged with pink just sitting on the coast and not going anywhere......yet!!!!Not a flake here yet.

ocallagh

Heavy in Sutton again, adding to an inch or so that fell this morning

joe stodge

ninebeanrows

You have got to laugh, there was no live update on the rte website all during the current cold spell. Dublin gets some snow and bamm it has started one. National news service my arse

Enjoy your snow in Dublin by the way

Whilst cloud movement was coming from the ENE before, there is a disinct NE/NNE movement to them here (Dalkey)...change of upper wind direction or just a localized phenomenon?

Wertz

Huge bank of Cbs out to my east, lot of pileus and cotton wool bubbles on top, so definite development...now if only we could get a bit of a breeze going.

REALLY pretty light snow in D15 now. No idea where it's coming from since radar hasn't hinted at it, but yay

Looks like the showers are going back to their roosting place over Howth!

Northerly tinge back into flow.

Vudgie

I have noticed a huge amount of birds in Dublin 2 today flying in large formations etc obviously a sign of what could be inbound.

Very little in the City Centre and I am hoping it stays that way....just until after rush hour and then it can do what it likes!!!!!

Hats of to Dublin airport authorities. The snow over the past couple of weeks was pretty intense in the East and South East and was on the ground for nearly two weeks. My brother who works in DHL at Dublin airport thought the authorities did a great job. In Paris, today there are over 20, 000 people stranded and the snow is not heavy - a few centimetres. My sister in law lives there and said it is a joke. Once there is a centimetre or more of snow in Paris the place closes down. At least Gatwick got a big fall like us over the two week period and is coping well although London got practically nothing during that last cold snap.

I wans't going crazy then. Clouds definitely coming from the NNE/NE here in Dalkey. Looks like the Howth blob might make it here after all. And the shower that follows that might plaster a much larger area.

Which part of D15 are you in? The postcode must cover about 60-70 square kilometres or so Starts at Ashtown and extends over 9km to the Meath border, and I think it runs from the north side of the Liffey valley up as far as Tyrellstown or beyond.

Great to hear that it's got as far as you Jake1 - must be getting very close to me in Celbridge now as long as it doesn't die out on the way.

I know someone who works for them ( ) and they invested quite a bit in new machinery this year and it paying dividends. It hasn't been closed for more that 2 hours and that was in the middle of the night last week.
