People in this country forget how to drive the second it starts snowing. It doesn't matter whether it sticks or not, they just take leave of their senses the second they see a flake. I've never understood it.

They're fairly big and chunky flakes here in Dublin, which is strange because they're the same showers that are passing over you towards Dublin.

Not heavy enough to get a decent covering, but nice to look at.

Had them earlier alright. This was just something unique to the last couple of showers. Very fine flakes, and many of them which helped reduce vis all the more.

light snow falling here again.

Some parts of the M50 are on quite high ground in south co Dublin so it wouldn't surprise me if snow was sticking in places?
See Docarch post above.

Heavy snow shower here in Firhouse / Ballycullen, sticking nicely......I'd say 0.5cm!! Not a huge amount but I'll take it....first lying snow in over a year.

Currently 0.5c & very windy all day with daytime temperatures averaging around 2.0c and a brief high of 4.0c

Galtee Mountains had good covering of snow earlier

We've had sleet, hail and snow that hasn't settled as yet. Wind has really started to rise again in the last hour making near blizzard like conditions when the showers hit ...

Land is completely beyond saturation point with considerable risk of localised flooding with more precipitation tonight/ tmrw forecast
