I would guess no one is replying because no one really knows. The situation is liquid and continually changing but enough guidance has been given to suggest it will probably be a very bad idea.

Careful now, don't want to start any more downgrade rumours :pac:

We have not heard much from the lads living high up like Robertkk and Large Funeral. It must be tough going farming for them in this.

This is it. You'd have to smile when you read people wishing for a dump of snow when it will likely affect them little and means nothing in terms of hardship.

Spare a thought for anyone lambing at the moment and/or managing stock in outfields that need feeding.

Is South dublin to be hit hard by tomorrows snow storm? also, anybody guess how much it could dump?

Decent aul dumping inbound to South Dublin, everything south of the liffey, probably land around 16:30. Heaviest in the CC and out then towards Ballyfermot, Clondalkin, etc., but with snow across the entire South of the county.

That said, the radar says it should have snowed in D 16 in the last 15 minutes, but it didn't.

That South Dublin dumping is happening now.

all sticking here at 78m asl in Rochestown. A good 2 cm in the last 40 mins and still going strong. back where we were this morning. two steps backward three steps forward....

Gotta say I am jealous of that! 39asl here and the side where the sun didn't shine is back to this morning levels, side where it did is just wet. Needs to freeze over before it will stick I am assuming! I have the bottom of my snowman done though, so this snow is gonna be for my 2nd part!

Joe Duffy said earlier that most kids under 8 in ireland never experienced snow before.
After a minute he had to change that to Dublin but we all know what he meant.

I don't live in Howth, just noticed it was being hammered is all

Well aware that the other counties exist. If you go back a page or so you'll see my recent PSA about Bantry but you probably didn't bother to do that.

It's been snowing in Cork city for 30 mins or so in contrast to yesterday merely 2mins.snow billowing lot slower now in southerly direction. Now its building up on footpaths and tops of all cars..beautiful snow day as it's darkening here bit by bit.

In fairness, it's Joe Duffy, what do you expect? That said, if Thursday/Friday estimates come off, it'd be fair to say most people under 30 won't have seen that amount of snow.

Heavy snow now. -0.9C/-5.9C. The temperature dropped after the snow started falling.

I not only don't care about other counties, I couldn't give a damn if it snows in North Dublin

Joe Duffy is a fool. It snows in Dublin every winter more in dome places than others but always a few coverings in West Dublin....always.

Just drove home from work in Cork city. Was snowing pretty heavily when driving home! Office closed tomorrow. Yay!

Edit: Just got message saying we are also closed on Friday. Happy out.

Nice snow shower in West Clare, left around 2cm, dropped the temperature to -2.5c (from +0.6c)

Meant to be decent snow over wicklow now and nothing. Second time today the radar is off for wicklow.

View of driveway from living room window right now. It really is bucketing it down here near Kinsale. Measuring tape says 7 inches of snow has accumulated.

Not quite spot on, we're north of the Liffey (Cabra) and getting a great dumping of snow.

Sierra Oscar

Fairly heavy snow shower now in D7.

Hooks Golf Handicap

Just drove the M7/M9 from Naas to Carlow.
2 Lanes open the whole way, salt doing its job, good work by the councils.

This uncertainty for tomorrow is a joke.
Your employer will want you to attend yet the head of the emergency committee says "it's suicidal to be outside after 4pm tomorrow".
So there will be no public transport to bring people home, it's a joke.
As nobody will make a decision then we better hope for another dumping tonight so the early morning commute is ruled out.

Some amount dumped in Virginia over the past hour. Wind picked up. Snow that podwery it'd being blown around.

Big load about to drop d5 area. I'm on bus back into town with two big tubs of coddle.

Pretty good snow coming down here in Ballincollig now. Seemed to ease off for a bit, but it's really gone back to full throttle. Temperature is -0.7, dew point -3, pressure 1008.8mb and falling. (I love my weather station )

Jesus, that looks like a lot more than 7 inches up against the wall. :eek:
