AFaIk there is fairly decent snow from Kells on up.
Most of the local schools sent the kids home at 1pm today as roads were getting very dirty.
I'd say give yourself a bit extra time if you are coming home on the N3/M3.
Constant blizzard conditions here all day, hasn't hardly let up at all, so making driving a bit tricky.
Take it easy:)

Why? There is no snow in the majority of Dublin and it doesn't look likely either...

Watching the front on Met office radar is strange. Parts of it have stalled, in places it's dying, in places its progressing west to east slightly. Could stay wet/snowy in Dublin, could become dry, time will tell.

One things for sure, Suns out here and I don't see the front pivoting back west.

ThreeLineWhip

Saturday night will be dry and calm but very cold with a widespread sharp to severe air and ground frost with the risk of freezing fog and icy patches. Sunday will be bright and mostly dry but very cold with frost and fog lingering in some inland and northern areas. Rain will spread in from the southwest during Sunday night accompanied by fresh southeast winds, and the rain will turn to sleet or snow over the midlands north and east - especially over high ground. Monday will be a cold mostly cloudy day with occasional wintry showers of hail or sleet with a continuing risk of snow over high ground. After a sharp night frost, Tuesday will be cold again with scattered wintry showers - these mainly near coasts, but many places will remain dry. Then more rain will spread countrywide from the west on Wednesday night, introducing somewhat less cold conditions for the latter part of the week, but it will remain changeable and unsettled.

I am sitting tight till Sunday for my snow, enjoy yours while you have it.
