Why do people keep mentioning the snow hitting Louth/Dublin/Wicklow......or South Louth/Dublin or Louth/Dublin coasts and Meath doesn't get a mention? We are here too :-)

Visibility is virtually none where I am in Mulhuddart, less that 100 metres reckon... I can't see my dad's friends house from my door and he is about ten houses away.

Well I'm just up the road and it is bucketing here so there's a good chance you have the same.

Incrediable amount of snow and still no sign of a let up:D
I do hope though they've predict the thaw correctly though..if this snow lasts for a length of time the country will be paralysed..I hear some petrol stations in the North are Rationing petrol :eek:

For people saying the North Wales stuff is for more N.Dublin, Louth- Dont foreget its in a circulation, so it will soon be sucked in South fueling the current snow train in South Dublin, into Kildare..

The core is over Wicklow, and it will be there for a LONG time

Just looked out and saw some huge flakes falling near the window.

Looking on in awe at that train coming up the Irish sea. Have a feeling we're going to get clipped by the leading edge of that band. The high level cloud/flow here an hour or so back when it was truning dusk makes me think that we're just within the margin for snowfall. The only way that might change is if the centre of the low is heading S.

I swept every bit of snow off the front pavement and sidepath of my house in CastleCurragh this morning before heading for work - don't tell me I wasted my time :)

'Dublin Bus will operate all last buses at 10pm from both the city centre and the suburbs'

From RTE news twitter updates.

Lamp-post shot. Sorry for the bad quality, but it's heaping down, and you can just about make out the streaks of it in the light. The windows there are just across the street, but very fogged out.

Yes.

Bray and Greystones have been in the Anglesey shadow since about 12:30 just catching the edge of a South Dublin shower for 5 minutes once or twice since then with Greystones just catching the northern edge of the Wicklow/Arklow Streamers in a similar fashion.

If I had not gotten 5 or 6 inches last night or this morning and just had the 1-2 inches Bray got on the Saturday and Sunday then this would have been an exact repeat of 3 weeks ago and if that had have happened I would have been a rampaging lunatic of epic OwenC hissy fit proportions today after finding ourselves in a snow shadow again.

But we did get 6 inches.....so I'm not

That said I can't help be greedy, jealous, childish, whatever you want to call it that Bray hasn't got the day long snow or accumulations that 10 miles north or south of us are getting. Not looking good for us for the rest of the night either.

(Hoping this snow generation method works again. ie. posting about the lack of streamers only to finish the post and look out the window at a whiteout rendering my post out of date the second I hit submit )

Only problem i can see is at the Red Cow and that is because of two trucks in trouble on the naas road.
