Thank you very much but if I want to go out after 4pm tomorrow, I will and what's more I'll take responsibility for myself unlike a lot of 'snowflakers' we've bred in this country in recent years.

Is anyone else getting tired of this ‘snowflake’ discourse? My father, who was a truck driver and certainly no ‘snowflake’, jackknifed his truck during the snow of 1982. It is perfectly sensible for Met Eireann to provide these warnings and minimize the risk of life and limb.

I had around 15cm in Dublin 5 on the grass.

Never mind the apocalyptic snow the main surprise of this cold spell for me has been learning how people on the east coast pronounce 'Briquettes'..

Any expert opinion on conditions early tomorrow morning after what's predicted tonight? Have a 7am flight from DUB airport and trying to assess if tomorrow will be worse than today (tonnes of flights cancelled today).
Thanks

Should be a good bit of moisture coming off Anglesea shortly, enough to get showers going for Dublin despite the short fetch.

Irish sea finally coming back to life, wind perhaps swinging slightly back in favour of Dublin region shortly.

We live in wicklow foothills. Couldn't get cars out of driveway which is on a fun gradient. But himself walked to mainn road and got a lift into work which was 6 kms away. I got picked up, will have a 4 x 4 on way home. We'd some important stuff to sort - won't stay late.

Once I got down to a lower level though its a different world.

I 'd certainly take any warnings very seriously for tomorrow and am far from a snowflake but I'm not going to endanger my own life or property. Dads cancelled his operation for tomorrow. Hospital were fine. Think my work is going to call it and close. Hope himself workplace do likewise.

Isn't that afternoon though? I'm guessing if there isn't much snowfall tonight then the airport should be ok for a few hours early in the morning.
