Everything back on now

We had a foot and a half here in 2010, north Kildare, but this is on a whole other level in terms of intensity/ferocity (over a foot now already), It’s absolutely mental out! Proper flakes now mixing with the snizz. The drifting in my back garden is insane! Thanks for listening.

Alarms ringing everywhere in Ringsend, the entire surrounding area has been plunged into darkness. Only the 3 Arena lights appear to be on. Still snowing like mad.

Ballinclea Heights, Killiney Hill, Wyvern, power went out about 15 minutes ago, I can see two or three very faint street lights down towards Sallynoggin, but that's about it.

Power back, as I type, hooray!

Yer Da sells Avon

From looking at Twitter, it seemed like the power went in loads of places (D1, 2, 6, 8, Dun Laoghaire, Sallynoggin) at the exact same time (1:35). My lights (in Greystones) flickered at that time too, but I still have power (for now).

I’m in Harold’s cross that is Dublin 6 and I can definitely confirm the power is absolutely 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.

In Navan hard to judge accumulations, possibly 2-3cm as old tyre tracks and footprints have disappeared. Strong gusts blowing snow grains. Drifts are incredible, never seen anything like it. Neighbour across from me will get some land when he opens his door in the morning as snow is nearly a third the way up his front door!

The power is back on again at Blackrock in Dublin. Hooray!

Fuse box making noise like an engine since coming back on; how do I make it stop?

Vxlks

Wi-Fi gone out in D14. But power seems fine? I think it's Virgin Media? Anybody else having a problem?

A disappointment in Cavan only very light icy snow since this storm has arrived. Early this morning till about 5/6 we had constant moderately heavy snow from the east

SweetCaliber

Went for a fast walk, roads arent 2 - 3 feet but not far off 1.4 feet to be exact, this was taken on the road outside my house in Tramore:

He caught the power outage - bright electrical arc immediately before the cut, I suspect that's what people saw when they mentioned lightning.

Same in Kimmage, no issues. Still lashing down to use a technical term. A few inches of fine snow added since this evening. Not too dramatic but enough to keep me looking out at it anyway.

Fian

power went out in dundrum, for about 60 seconds. Then it came back, my tripswitch had flipped so i had lights but not sockets.

After i flicked it back sockets came back but no internet, for 10 minutes or so. obviously back again or i would not be posting.

I should never have left Dublin to live in the country. It sounds so exciting there!

I've nothing to look at but fecking stars. In the sky. Oh well...

Yeah seems the coastal areas in Dublin are missing out slightly. In Shankill and now it’s been very slow and steady today and continues to be so. The snow that’s falling is pretty wet and you get the feeling that it could disappear quickly when the sun comes out.

pauldry

Tryin to make sense of radars

It seems to me that the rain/snow is gaining intensity as it goes over the warmish sea but loses it over the relatively low humidity land hence the small flakes

Tomorrow during daylight i dont forsee any further accumulations for Connaught and Ulster but the rising humidity is producing heavier snow by the minute on the windward sides of Leinster and Munster

These areas will finish with exceptional totals in parts

I am up the road and its on. These are local things not postal code things. Just because you have lost power in Dublin 6, it does not mean the whole area is dead.
