Anyone got a measurement for the snow in Dublin? Not really in the mood to look back through hundreds of pages of posts

There hasn't been one dop of snow flake in Thurles since the downpour two weeks ago.
(I tell a lie there was a very slight flurry of sleet last Friday).

Quiet you

I'm down near the harbour so there was a bit of a thaw earlier:) not now though:) the snow has eased off a bit here now, still about 8" on the ground:eek: thats mad so near the sea

Can see the lights of the town but not the sea as we are in a dip behind a small hill.

Let it thaw out and then tow it to a garage. Don't start it. The engine block could be cracked if the frozen water expanded in the cooling system. Best of luck and may a pox fall on the last owner for not making sure there was antifreeze in it.:D

Just noticed theres a halo around the moon here!

Caused by ice crystals in the air as far as I know

Plenty of potential thoughout the night. Looks like the CC will get hit soon, might even intensifly as it hits the coast.

Rougies, any idea why it looks like its retreating back to Wales?

The low pressure system is moving southwards, so now the snow over Wales is getting sucked up by the mountains south of Holyhead, around Mt. Snowdon etc. instead of passing to the north out into the Irish Sea like it was earlier.

Mr.Boots

Took two hours to get from Arklow to Gorey this evening, so many people stuck :eek:

It has intesified, but now looks like hitting a bit to the south of the CC, just keep an eye on the radar is all we can do really
