Drizzly snow kind of stuff here near UCD the last few hours. Hoping the intensity picks up a bit through the night.

It has been belting for the last while, most of what has fallen has been in the last hour.

Likelihood of school being cancelled tomorrow in dublin anybody?

Wicklow Town. Not a flake. Infuriating.

Yeah very close to whiteout in D14, wind picking up every so often giving brief moments of near 0 visibility.

Wind is howling suddenly and it's a full on blizzard now

This thread is brill at this time of night, only the hardcore snow enthusiasts left, not a troll in sight, and a blizzard on the horizon - one of the advantages of working nights, even if I work outdoors freezing my ***s off !!

Feel sorry for you guys. Deep snow in Kilcullen now. Got back home from work just in time before the road got all covered in snow.

Interesting day ahead, not for the parents though with the possibility of schools being closed tomorrow...

spoonerhead

Hard to video, but this is a full on blizzard. Treacherous

Never say never, flights were landing all evening/night during the snow, they're a lot more equipped than 2010

MJohnston

The thing that's going to make these showers really dangerous for commuters in Dublin tomorrow (if they continue) is the increasingly strong winds. The snow isn't just falling, it's getting flown around madly.

noisenotmusic

Very heavy snowfall now in Drimnagh with graupel, visibility is low too. Maybe to the end of the block. I can no longer make out the footpath edge too which means its close to a half foot.

Edit: half foot not foot

It was probably difficult to predict. South and West Cork seem to be getting lots of snow from streamers that are skimming along the South coast under Waterford. All have complete missed the city. Looks like Carrigaline is getting a big hit where as the city 10 miles north hasn't seen anything since 8PM. Very localized.

I remember in 2010 at the beginning of the snow someone made a snow map and mapped out all the places that people posted as having snow.  Can't remember did he do the depth too.  

I'm supposed to drop my son to the bus in a bit over two hours in KK town heading to central Dublin and from there he goes to Rathgar for work and then back again in the evening to catch the bus from the quays home to Kilkenny.  What are the chances of him being stranded in Dublin?  Should he miss the day's wages and stay put in bed?  

Thoughts, please?

Stay in bed man... going to get crazy as the night progresses.

PokeHerKing

Proper blizzard in D24 now!!! Howling wind graupel and snow being lashed around!

Aspiring

Could swear I saw a flash of lightning just there in south Dublin but not completely sure.
