Snow looks really ugly now between traffic and footsteps and gritters and being shovelled and slight thaw. needs a big top up!

On the south louth coast and a massive snow shield still in effect ... just dandruff on the ground !!

Told not to come to work in Cork City this evening, or Thursday evening. Sitting here (just outside Mallow) looking at the sun splitting the stones all day. Bored beyond reason and after getting 8 messages from various people stating I must be buried in it.

Is it too early to open a bottle of wine???

so far its been small enough flakes, hoping they get a bit larger so they will be able to stick better!

I feel so sorry for MT. I'd say his inbox is groaning under the weight of "Is that it for X area???" PMs.

I've had three pints is it too late to stop?

Mildly interesting: Snow is only sticking to the side of the chimney pots that weren't exposed to sunlight, forming a perfectly straight line.

Here is some of the beautiful convection coming in from a due easterly at Arklow

Beautiful but dry due to the lleyn peninsula to Arklow being just shy of the required fetch
Not that much Longer fetches south of here are working

Even the high command in Europa say 'pray for Leinster' (and that wee busy road bit in Scotland).
Santa Claus man up in Northern Santaworld is also having a bad time.

Heavy snow in Douglas again

revelman · 28-02-2018 4:53pm

Took this photo just this second out living room window. Snow shower in last hour has replaced some of thawed snow. We still have several inches of snow here and I hear from my brother 15 miles up the road in Cork city that they have nada!

In fairness the sun is hardly splitting the stones. ****ing freezing out there.
