On the powercheck esb app it’s saying there’s a outage in ringsend at 1.34am estimated restore @ 5am

237 customers on that one

Judging by the volume of tweets to ESB Networks, there's far more than 237 customers out

in Tallaght Dublin just went out the front for a smoke
Have at least 10 inches of snow in the garden drifts of up to 3 feet in exposed places
not much snow more so its being blown up still a little icy rain.
the roads in the estate are in rag order up to 8 inches deep in parts.
if it gets worse I can see a lot of places cut off for a few days.

So, is there any sign of a storm anywhere in the country? Doesn't seem so.

Ammm not where you are anyhow, it's epic in Clare

Power outages all over the shop. This is definitely one we won't forget in a hurry.

On a side note: drifts are now way above the level of the front and back doors. Incredible stuff.

In excess of 5 inches of snow in places here in West Clare, amazing! Most I've seen in my lifetime.

Fairly coming down in Clondalkin. I cleared this area with shovel and yard brush at 5pm so it's not even a days accumulation. Crazy.

I called it rain earlier. I was wrong and I admit that now. Dublin 18 is under a lot of snow. A lot

It's lovely isn't it!

Sounds good, it's probably double that here...

The differences across Dublin are amazing. Coastal area here and not much happening.

Where exactly are you?

I'm not far from the coast in Santry. What you are basically saying it's like a different planet?

Did you check the accumulations?

View from the top of Liberty Hall. Seems to be a widespread power out in the city centre, only things not effected seem to be buildings with their own backup generators and street lights.

Nope and no it’s not - and all the power has gone out

It would be more useful if people could provide information on the accumulations rather than snow type.

Here it's mounting up. Still relatively fine snow though.

Winds but thats the height of it in the midlands. Zero snow, just a lot of the current snow being blown around by the winds

Love having two open fireplaces and a load of wood in the back garden.

Sacrifice a pot and cook away. Hope this goes on for a while. Come on powercut.
Do your worst.

Almost annoyed we still have power in d7

Dublin 2 Pearse street using 4G as looks like we had that power surge that turned off everything ...Virgin Media network must has issues also

Nothing like bog tea

This is insane. From whatsapp and here it appears most if not all of Dublin is now out of power.

Its not. Not had so much as a flicker of the lights in Dublin 6. I hate these sort of posts (no offence).

The is no snow/power is out in my street so the whole country is the same.

Since you mentioned it, does anyone know where the streetlights get power when everything else is gone?

The conspiracy theorists will say the Government organised this power outage in CC to ensure that their RED alerts were warranted or something. Sigh.

Snow has actually stopped now in my area of cork city, going to set an alarm for 4 hoping for better things.

Yea - power out here also in D1 and alarms going off.
