Couldn’t sleep! Snow has finally stopped here in D15. Defo seems to be a bit of a thaw happening.

PirateShampoo

Jobstown/Citywest it's absolutely ****ed here. Easily got there 100cm in sheltered places. Can't see out of anything of my windows due to snow stuck to the glass.

Im just going to bed - an impromptu session started in the pub - up to 4 foot drifts, I never thought id see it but I couldnt find my door when I got home - A 6.5ft wall of snow fell into the hall! Anyone driving around here before the council tractors are out will get into serious trouble - the drifts are enormous!!

A snow drift decided to form right outside my front door. I had brought the shovel in to dig out.

6.5 feet of snow. I think you could have had 1or 2 too many drinks my friend

Woke up to pure madness here (between Naas and Blessington)

Howling gale hasn't relented one bit since going to bed, still driving snow and well over a meter in height were the drifts have accumulated.

I'll try getting better pictures when there's day light - these'll have to do in the meantime.

Check out the kids scooter which I've ringed.

When is it due to stop? Cabin fever has me in its grip now.

Emma was too harmless a name for a decent snowstorm. Needed a greek/roman femme fatale name for a true record breaking event.

Bit of a damp squib tbh.

Out in Clondalkin and have been awake every hour seeing how it was going, snow and wind was crazy at stages,
Still snowing now, nice accumulations and some of the drifts on the roads and in gardens look a few feet deep

I can't attach images either... Seems to be disabled which absolutely sucks to give any context to peoples reports

Near tullow - and yes! fun was had

All I got in Ballincollig was the most restful sleep and maybe 2 cm of snow. No winds, no storm, no heavy anything.

Now I have to work from home because you know shelter in place until 1800 because the forecast is for large regions rather than individual areas.

But good luck to those of you who actually got the promised record snow and storm. Hope you are all safe.

That’d be the drifting. It doesn’t mean 6.5 ft fell.

Quote from Gaurdian: The M9 near Stirling is blocked after a lorry jack-knifed in 8ft (2.4m) snow drifts.

Try these in the meantime.

Scooter buried in the snow, with garden furniture visible also.

It's gas watching people's reactions to the weather warnings , no snow here , load of sh1te , damp squib etc . I'm outside Naas and looking out the window at a blanket of snow at least 2 ft deep and looking like 3-4 ft drifts outside the wall where the wind is blowing the snow down the road and it's still falling . I can't see this thawing quickly , only for the warnings I've enough food in for a few days and it doesn't look like I'll be able to get out of here for a while .

Lumi

Heavy snow in Galway city
I can’t go outside to measure depths where I am but roads, paths etc are all white and I can’t see any traffic on the roads

Meet your brother.

It's madness. I'm in my latter 30s, never seen anything like it.

jarvis

Met Eireann latest updates this morning still says Red warning in place for Leinster, Munster and Galway till 6pm

Will they pull that back a bit to reflect MTs latest forecast and the stalling of Emma?

SeaFields

Good few inches over night here in my spot in south Kerry. Haven't checked the depth yet but looking out the window it's nearly up to car door
