    One from the archives - RTÉ’s news report (video) on the snowfall in 1982:

    Here I am sitting here all jealous and I didn't even bother to look out the window! Unexpected bumper bonus snow.

    Looks like you could end up with a fair bit. Stream going directly over you. Persistent snow. No warning for you but nice surprise. Radar brighter echoes all the while.

    Massive change in last half hour here.

    Went from calm and dry in Dundrum to a thick 2cm blanket in about 10 minutes.

    Extremely heavy. Seemed to come out of nowhere.

    Where did you see this?

    If it's going to happen I will head out and get a few pics from O'Connell bridge.

    Dublin city center is screwed and I'm laying all blame on the Poolbeg incinerator - everything is going left or right of it!

    This is all just round one, right? Quite a lot of disappointed folk, it seems. I'm in D22, and it's fairly white outside. However, we haven't exactly been pelted with snow.

    Using the analogy of going out for a meal - you haven’t even started buttering the bread that’s on the table before your starters arrive yet.

    Thursday/Friday will be the main course.

    Correction on that, it's going slightly faster and veering the weensiest bit south from what I projected. It's also gathered a bit of oomp as it approaches Howth.

    City Centre's going to get a heavy pasting in about 10 minutes, and then all routes out to Tallaght after that. Won't last as long as I first said though.

    Bloody hailstones in Arbour Hill :(
