Think Clane has been in the firing line, hasn’t stopped in over 24 hours.

Def close to 2 feet if not more

The snow here now in Kinsale is almost reaching my sitting room window. Driveway is unrecognizable as is backyard. Photos attached.

We have long beaten the 1982 record here. Unbelievable stuff.

..and we've only seen the tip of the ice-berg. (Emma stalled) Take a look at projected snowfall amounts for 6am and then 18:00 on Hirlam.

More of a pink warning when the advice is to go out and play in the snow.

Anyway stay safe all.....off to do some work.

So is the red alert lifted?
Someone just messaged me saying they heard it on radio

Snowing moderate intensity now in D14. Flakes a lot lot larger than the pellets from last night. Accumulations could really pile up now if this continues

up for anything

It is red level here.
The wind has been picking up giving whiteout conditions in the stronger gusts, and the snow intensity has increased. The severity here on the hills north east of Kilkenny has definitely picked up in the last half hour.

Are you in Castlewarren or Muckalee area? Nothing much in the town all night. A light barely there snow shower got twenty minutes just now but that was it. I wonder is your weather coming doen the hills or away from town?

Grange Road in Rathfarnham is impassable. Its going to be a long while to clear this place up.

Morning all - Merry March.

Kilpedder co, Wicklow reporting @ 70m ASL

11cm snowfall overnight and still falling heavily.
Current temp -1.7c

Wind light, but with gusts.

We went from having nothing yesterday to light snowfall at 8pm, then getting heavier and not stopping since.

Stay safe all.

No! Red warning still in place.

Got about 10cm overnight here, proper winter wonderland outside, delighted!

Good morning, reporting from Dublin 6 here, really suprised to find 0 additional accumulation from 2am last night, although still pelting down what looks like snizzle I would estimate only 150 - 200mm depth here and no signs of deep drifts from what I can see without going outside. Is the main snow still to come, or is this non accumulating snizzle it?

I'm a big snow lover but these are frightening conditions in Dublin 16 260m
Some 6 foot snow drifts and its still coming down hard

2 feet? How high are the wheels on those cars then? They must be monster trucks.

I'm in south Cavan, just across the border from Longford., what part of Longford is that?
We hadn't much more snow here since bed time, a good covering all told, but no major drifts, i am staying in, but if the need arose I could move if necessary.

Thanks for that, they’re south longford. I don’t think they’re that concerned themselves, my dad is like a kid and he was obviously around for 1982

Flakes getting heavier in Clonakilty.

Not much extra last night and looks like winds missed us.

Actually, maybe I underestimated what has fallen....

Could someone please tell Pascal Sheehy that there is more of Cork outside Cork city...

The Rape of Lucretia

Basically : be careful - but get back to work.

MidMan25

Judging by the radar, Waterford City is going to be hit hard shortly!

Heroditas

A mix of the tiny flakes similar to last night and nice fluffy large snowflakes falling in Lucan now.

Pussyhands

Still snowing mad heavy North kildare

EastCork2018

The worst I've seen of this is only hitting us here this morning driving winds and wet snow, has added huge drifts and further accumalations, seriously snowed in. The Tom Crean in me wants to try and walk to the shops (prob closed) but I think I"ll light the fire and window watch instead. Crazy!

The Bishop Basher

Winter wonderland here in Greystones..

Still pelting down..

Thank you Emma
