Potential for snow in Dublin, Louth, Meath, Wickow, Wexford remains throughout the rest of today and tonight. Could be some serious amounts and major disruption this evening. We Dubs just need the wind to go a tiny bit more Easterly.

I hope you just forgot to add Newbridge , or Kildare to that list :pac:

About 2" here in Monasterevin lastnight.

Got about 15 minutes and 1cm last night. North and South of kilcullen got plastered. 1cm just wont do. Need something significant to quench the thirst for snow.

Bloody lashing it down now in Ballyfermot. Looking quite dark too.

Is there any chance of the snow moving over to West Wicklow? They haven't had any there yet and are feeling a bit left out.

Judging from the traffic cams around Dublin, 90% of the population must have done the same thing, it's like a deserted village. :eek:
