I have to drive home to the north next week and it doesn't sound like it's going to feck off anytime soon. Not really fancying the idea of driving on dodgy roads.

I think that'll be cos we're officially after "sunset"

I really hope not.

Looks like this more prolonged spell of snow has started over most of donegal now! Like Artic conditions in Letterkenny last hour now, heavy snow & blizzard, quite strong wind! Whiteout, good few inches!!

Am I the only one who doesn't want any snow?

well as im self employed and live up on a hill, i would'nt be a fan of it. but if it arrives and according to MT 40cms is on the way, but i'll believe that when i see it, i'll have to work around it.

dacogawa · 17-12-2010 5:18pm

This is the model that is talked about (GFS) and it does look very wrong

It'll probably travel further south as the night goes on. Ye might wake up to a blanket of it in the morning?

ninebeanrows · 17-12-2010 5:20pm

Showers are beginning to look like they may make it to Meath in the next while, hopefully they will eventually hit the citah.

sunbabe08 · 17-12-2010 5:21pm

Harps · 17-12-2010 5:22pm

Holy crap this is getting unbelievable, heavy blizzard for the past hour, looking at raintoday theres no end in sight, theres a constant stream of snow for probably the next hour and a half :eek:

sunbabe08 · 17-12-2010 5:24pm

small flakes here in northside of cork city

the hills will soon be white.

leahyl · 17-12-2010 5:24pm

Just finished work there - on the way home and my friend from work rang me to say it's snowing like mad on the link toward the jack lynch tunnel yet I'm in cork city centre and just a misty rain??!! I'm thinking the heavy snow coming from the north is moving eastwards as it comes down and is missing us?

No I dnt think so - raining in city centre

hot buttered scones · 17-12-2010 5:25pm

Starting to snow now here in Ringaskiddy. Big wet flakes. I'm stuck in work though. I might pop out for a smoke.

(well a play in the snow really

)

Looking at the radar, that big blob split in two, with the city center right in the middle I'm afraid. Looks like there'll be more in the next few hours though.

rainbowtrout · 17-12-2010 5:27pm

My garden in Boyle, about an hour ago and it's still snowing heavily

EDIT: I made an arse of that upload...

What about Dublin West? Will it miss us too?
