Well as long as you are sorted that's fine. Never mind those people who need to travel or the elderly.

Don't be so grouchy. bloody hell, he's hardly going to get everything in for people who can't travel or all the elderly.

What a stupid statement to make.

Some begrudger you are.

My daughter just drove from Galway to Ballinteer. Left Galway 11.30am and arrived at 15.30. Not a bad time under the circumstances

Was out doing some local shopping. So much snow about. In my lifetime I can't remember as much. Proper piles of snow along the paths as people have cleared them etc. Shoes were full of ice and melted snow when I got home

A bit of a thaw had set in earlier, so there's a fair bit of drip drip. Going to be some '82esque icicles in the morning!

Looks like a streamer could be on the way for Dublin.

omg up at the rock is bad

Awfully thin streamers mind, with a full IOM shadow Localised snow so, but then that's kind of par for the course here I suppose.

Yeah, but will it be the last of the day ?

Just started snowing again

Must say Gorey Town Council are doing a great job clearing the town this time round, town is accessible

Indeed....the next streamer might be lacking in girth but it certainly is not lacking in length. length is better if you're lucky enough to be right under it. It seems to be making a bee line for Dublin once again. Won't be long before we can pin point what parts of the city get hit. But at the moment it is looking like whatever parts do get hit will get hit for a fairly long time

saw quite a bit of lightning this afternoon over dublin which was cool!

Fair play to them, I have to say the County Council's in Dublin have been pretty rubbish so far this week. I know there is prob not much they can do as it just wont stop snowing but they are pretty non existant apart from the M50 and a private company maintain that to a certain extent.

You on wexford side or waterford?? clouds bein building here in waterford last hour but no snow plus radar showing nothing for our area......

Scubadevils

I can literally see dark almost purple clouds to my east which would be out towards Skerries/Donabate making fast progress south... looks like they are dumping massive volumes of snow too, why couldn't they have moved in a bit further!!!

The sky looks bloody amazing though with the sun setting.

There's a bit of a blob building on the trailing end of it. Might it be as big as the last blob when it hits ?

Think the Met Eireann people are on the egg nog all week.
