According to the weather underground radar there seems to be a fairly heavy snow shower falling over (Dublin) city centre...anyone down there?

Getting heavier as I speak

A very stupid question....how do you post photos to this thread?

What are the chances the snow will last until morning in the Galway area?

Just use the attachments option when you go to reply to a question!

Really heavy snow again here in east Limerick for the last half hour, too cosy in bed looking out at it to take a picture. See my earlier pictures, and then add an inch or two with your imagination!

My pics seem way too big...it refuses to upload them!

ALready been out having a ball in the snow, testing my winter tyres properly in a carpark, having a great snowball fight with a large crowd of UL students, and just enjoying driving in the quiet conditions being the first person to drive along a particular road. Feels like being at the end of the earth. I love it!

Yep, still snowing here in Castletroy, Limerick

Getting worse here in Galway. Very deep now.

im still amazed at how these massive showers can stay intact all the way to Offaly and Westmeath then disappear into nothing by the time they hit Meath and Kildare.

Shame this does not happen all year around or else the east would be a fantastic dry and sunny place to be!

Still just wet in galway city

Snow fall has just stopped again in Sligo. Estate is totally blanketed, and with another shower or two predicted before the morning rush, it could be a fun start to the day.

Ok... Just one for the road!

I feel your pain. Mullingar, Tullamore and Portlaois are getting hammered all day and once they cross the border they just disappear. I don't understand it.

In the summer they get their energy from the land. In winter they get their energy from the sea.

They lose their energy over cold dry land especially with so little daylight at this time of year,it's the Midlands that are the cut off point,natures wonderful like that

Bitter here in Arklow now,hitting -2c despite the wind and no snow cover,ground is solid
Tomorrows storm would be even more interesting if engaging with a Scandinavian flow

That heavy shower a while ago.

I read that as "...and it's still growing." My mind. Jaysus.

Just about to turn in when an almighty flash of lightning lit up the room, can't tell exactly what direction but there have been two in two minutes. Seem to be coming from the Derry direction, at least, that's the direction that my bedroom window faces.

No street lamps to watch on Inch Island, so the skylight will have to do

And another flash, great stuff altogether

Just checked the maps, it's coming from the northwest.. tempted to get up for a better vantage point!

A friend and I jumped into our Land Rovers and headed up to the mast on the hill behind Ravensdale in Co. Louth. It was bitterly cold, fairly windy and the grass was very frosty, but no actual proper snow.

Got the stove out and made a cup of tea for us and then headed home, saying a small prayer to the snow God!

Snowing heavily in Charlestown since 9pm. There's a good thick blanket of snow now. Travel to work will be interesting tomorrow. A shame it will be all washed away by the rain tomorrow.
