Oh god yes.

Then again, I really don't expect UCD to cancel exams until a student breaks their neck.

Anyone reckon that the band of percip over Wales at the min, might be on course to pick up percip over the Irish sea and dump loads on Leinster ?

Snowing in Maynooth. Cleared a good 1-2cm off the drive already. Doing it during the snow so its not too heavy for me later. (Total girl lol)

Not really sure if it works like that but M.T. has forecast 10-20cm overnight

Pentecost

Not snowed here in D3 for the last couple of hours. Got a dumping earlier but quiet at the moment.

Whaaaat

dont see it yet

Sitting outside the dart station and it most definitely is not snowing at the moment in greystones. There is a lovely covering though!

snickerpuss

Stayed in the Pavillions Shopping Centre in Swords to see if it would clear at all. Started belting down just as we got there after 4 and only just stopped now. On the way home at the mo, let's hope it won't take too long!

Took me from 4.15pm to 6.45pm to get from Leeson St to Bray driving. Had to abandon my car at petrol station on the way home and my sis picked me up in her 4 wheel jeep. Just wondering what shop in Bray has the spikes - might be handy over the next week!

Theres a airsoft shop with something similar, its directly across from the dart station and its called 'Go Tactical'

Cloud with percip moving past Aberystwyth ??? Looks weak but was just curious if it could gain strength if it moved out over the Irish sea.

Spanish Eyes

OMG, it is unreal here in Dublin.

If it stays cloudy, but no snow later, anyone know if we will still get a big freeze on top of the snow tonight?

I feel awful saying this, but I am so glad that I did all my shoppy jobs today before the snow fell, and don't have to go anywhere tomorrow :rolleyes:

I hope all those stuck out there get home safe. It is easy to enjoy this stuff from your warm living room/kitchen all the same.

It is near Birmingham, but it is the same cloud that hit south wales this morning.

The 6 o'clock news showed pictures of such a scenario, a truck jack knifed and cars on the motorway and adjacent slip stopped.

at least my patio furmiture seems to be enjoying the snow

Dubs, cant even handle a few hours snow, what you all got, like 2 inches or something? haha.
