Leopardstown (Dublin 18) getting a good flurry now - smaller flakes than earlier but about 3-4cm* has accumulated since this morning. I think it would definitely qualify as a white-out...

* very rough estimate.

ffarrell7 · 20-12-2010 4:43pm

no wind...and that is the only problem and is so unusual with snow showers..usually it is inland Dublin that gets most of the snow but not at the moment anyway.:mad::mad:

pristine snowboots ready here in d8...come to mama......:)

white out in dalkey. This day is turning out to be historic (weather-wise) for the furthest coastal fringes

Sounds like you're having some serious snow action today - enjoy!

4diarmuid · 20-12-2010 4:44pm

Is that at Cabinteely Ard Macha?

ffarrell7 · 20-12-2010 4:45pm

Funny how it is pushing inland into South Dublin but not really North or West Dublin..Bizarre to say the least and very frustrating

premiercad · 20-12-2010 4:45pm

some coastal areas could really get a few inches, showers getting v intense on radar

Wine Goddess · 20-12-2010 4:45pm

Firhouse got a smattering of snow around midday.
1.30pm the power went off!!!
Is there a link??????

Temp now at the dizzy heights of -1.7 C

sunbabe08 · 20-12-2010 4:45pm

Are the streamers likely to increase once night falls and temps start to drop?

I would say the opposite

Very notable for the fact that its usually places inland that get more snow!

I hear you - my house is about 700m from the Irish Sea so I know it's as rare as hens teeth.

little bess · 20-12-2010 4:49pm

Nothing since earlier in Raheny, I bet we're under the one patch with no snow in it !

Have you taken the time to actually read any of the updates?

Obviously not, as most of it relates to international travel as well as conditions in other parts of the country. But the reality obviously doesn't suit your agenda.

Very overcast in Dublin's City Centre but nothing happening yet.

Anyone have any updates for Rathfarnham/Knocklyon?

ffarrell7 · 20-12-2010 4:50pm

Blizzard conditions now in North Dublin, Portmarnock..whiteout:D:D:D

Noffles · 20-12-2010 4:51pm

Heavy in Dundrum at the minute... should make my journey home to Gorey more than interesting!!

Yep power back on only went off for about 5 minutes but enough to give me the heebee jeebies (hmm have not used that term in a LONG time!)

Just beginning to snow very lightly here now

evosteo · 20-12-2010 4:51pm

its mad i jus drove from donaghmede in dublin 13, 5 mins down the road to baldoyle, sun splitting the skys there but as soon as i came over the bridge into baldoyle BANG blizzard like conditions, reckon theres bout 2" + plus after fallin here so far. looks like its in for the night too. must be really hugging the coast

Slight build up to the streamers coming in from the East Coast. Looks liks aan interesting couple of hours ahead for the Eastern coastal fringes...

No snow here in IFSC at moment.

CiaranC · 20-12-2010 4:51pm

Nothing in Tallafornia

ye got a week of it 2 weeks ago. we got one day. we would like more

i've read the updates alright. but when the west of ireland and south there were no live update pages. there was a news story, but no LIVE updates.

Inquitus · 20-12-2010 4:52pm

Few flakes starting to fall in Swords.

Calibos · 20-12-2010 4:53pm

Not just pretty pictures for the pictures thread but topical for this thread.

This was taken about 2pm from the cross on top of Bray Head. View of Bray Seafront and Killiney/Dalkey. The Streamers/anvils are those hitting South County Dublin now.

Foothills of the Dublin Mountains.

Ok this one isn't topical just pretty

Someone beat me and the dogs to the Cross at the Summit of Bray Head

ct5amr2ig1nfhp · 20-12-2010 4:54pm

The sky is ridiculously dark. Still coming down heavy. Wahey, I might still get out snowboarding yet!
