If you are male and posting snowfall measurements could you mention that you are male in your post..

If you are female and posting snowfall measurements could you mention that you are female..

Would make things so much easier to understand



CARLOW currently -5.7c

not even a teeny weeny tiny winy smell of a snowflake





* the above post is obviously not serious, but the measurements do seem to vary widely :rolleyes:

That's why I took photographic evidence on Saturday!




Think it has shrunk since though as it compacted!

Winter wonderland in Rathfarnham. Have already been down Spider Hill on the sled :-)

Was just hopping on to say the same.

Unbelievable snow here. This is real SERIOUS SNOW here!

Almost half a foot. Last inch fell in under an hour you can watch it stack up.

If this goes on all night.... We'd have two feet by the morning.

No kidding. Crazy stuff.

snow stopped in dun laoghaire, but so quiet outside it's almost eerie

googsy

1 and 3/4 inchs of snow here near the airport... looks like it's all stopped now for the time being... dammit

Lads, do ye think it'll snow on the west coast of Munster tomorrow? If so, where will that snow come from? Blown across from the East or in from the West?

giggsirish

Temp risen 1.2oC in Kilcullen. Tiny flecks falling but nothing worth getting excited about yet.

:rolleyes:

weisses

cookie ?

Fnutkrumpler

any update on the D4 Sandymount area? How many inches have stacked up there?

And AND this almost def means there will be some snow on the ground in most of the country at Xmas.

Still coming down here. I'd say 3cm in the last hour.

The cat has decided to come in and is now melting all over the kitchen floor. In the last snow (2 weeks ago) he wouldn't go out at all but I showed him this thread and he's a changed cat

Up at Stocking Lane and it's getting nuts. Like you say, easily six inches in the last three hours, if this keeps up, no-one's going to work tomorrow.

Just started to snow in Edenderry. Nice surprise to see the streamers making it so far inland,

pokerface_me

8 inches here on kiltipper hill since 1630, sally gap measuring 2 foot 8 including ice that was already there. Still chucking it down.

Jaysus. Still snowing?

Where you at Tony.

SaKuRa

Dublin 14 area,mad snow,at least 6" now in the last 4-5 hrs,guards directing very heavy slow traffic on Nutgrove avenue,Nutgrove Shopping centre car part full of abandoned cars.
In looking at the previous posts cant believe how localized in Dublin this snow is.

snowbabe

sorry I hate specific road queries,but does anyone have a report on the windgates road yet?????Between Bray/Greystones??
We really need regional threads for this kind of thing

On a more positive note, you have the 6000th post. You win a cookie!

It's more like a pack of fortune tellers in here. Reading a definite forecast should be taken with a pinch of salt.:P

From what I gather, nothing can be predicted properly, so I can't understand why some people are saying things like 'that's the end of that now 'til next year etc'

Rougies

Just back from a beer run (on foot with the dog). Acopalyptic scenes out there. Crazy stuff, main roads are lost under a blanket of snow, the tire tracks fill up as soon as they're driven on. Still hammering down. Good 6 inches at least, probably more.
