Yes it does. You will have idiots tweeting etc now about a citywide blackout that did not happen.

No. That tweet didn't imply that.

You are reading into it and other posts for some bizarre reason.

Be glad your power isn't out but it is extensive.

Why would there be so many power cuts in Dublin.

Because it's red alert and we want to be the center of attention even if other places are getting more snow

I hope ye all are reduced to candle lights in affected areas- it will mean a better story to tell to future generations:D

75 year old Gabeeg reminiscing : i remember the falll of March 2018, when we were reduced to candelight by night with a whiskey in hand...
Come morning, with a massive hangover, i was shocked to discover i could not open the front door- i was snowed in for a week and had to survive on bread and Whiskey for seven days:o

...and as the snow fell and the bears ate us, I looked around and saw that for the first time we were a real family.

Looks to be a band of very heavy (up to 10mm/hr) precipitation heading towards Wicklow / South Dublin, making landfall maybe in the next hour or two

So far the 'copious' amounts of snow have not materialised as expected from this storm.

Met Eireann talked about one metre of snow falling in parts of Dublin??

Way of that amount at the moment...the snow is falling and swirling here in Dublin 15 but not epic thick snow....yet....

This is going to look amazing when daylight breaks. Most certainly the most snowfall this area (West Clare) has seen in most people's lifetime.

Had been salting an area on front of the door to keep it ice and snow free, useless trying it at this stage snow has won.

Where I am it’s heading towards copious and getting worse

I definitely haven’t seen weather like this before here.

Windy in Galway city, blowing powdery snow all over the place, it looks unlike anything I've seen before, sometimes like a dense fog. Our cm of snow has become 2cm since 12 o clock too. Exciting times!

First flicker of the evening here too, was hoping it was the bulb! Am up beside Grange Castle so was hoping we'd avoid a cut due to being close to all those data centres and pharma factories!

Did you not say recently that it was worse than 2010 in D15, Ffarrell tell us where gets the most snow,again and again and again:rolleyes:

Very weak accumulations here in north coastal Dublin. Lots of tiny snow falling but nothing to show for it. Light dusting on the road.

The netweather radar seems to want to not move the heavier precipitation in the Irish Sea.

Huge amounts of snow in Sandyford tonight - and still coming.

It did but not going to argue. That tweet will be all over the news sites later. The description is "fake", over exaggerated rubbish.

As for the extensive power outage, where are you getting the info? Because the ESB is only showing long term cuts that are hitting 20-500 households local to the fault.

20 here, 50 there etc..

Im guessing we're slightly too warm, and the snow really explodes when it hits sub zero temperatures further inland.

HelloMrSnowman

Having trouble uploading the photos, but measured 39 cm in sheltered non drift area, and 128 cm in drift by my car. Apparently we haven't even been hit properly yet.
