Naas this morning

These are the scenes that I’d never ever thought I’d see in Ireland!

In Oz but I would love to be home right now. Sensational scenes! Enjoy it everyone. Epic stuff!

I love the "ooh I'm hard, thats hardly snow" lads on here. Embarrassed for them but fun to read all the same.

Embarrassed?

What Username Guidelines

There’s about 8-10 inches horizontally on the *side* of my car, nothing on top due to the wind, after clearing it yesterday at 10am.

Drifts look incredible. About 2 ft deep to left of car. Same in back garden some approaching 3ft.

snowing again in D15

Anyone planning a trip to the mountains today?

Lugnaquilla is probably impossible to summit given snow depths and drifting. Road wont allow it.
Carrauntoohill too risky.
Galtymore might be an option depending on approach and roads.
Croagh Patrick and possibly Mweelrea should be doable.

Well it was either that or they end up in a+e with hypothermia or worse. Correct decision.

Yeah. Quite cringing to read. Very David Brent. Funny though.

Things were so promising with drifting starting, snowfall and temps holding until 1 30 am last night. Still got a decent fall out of this but ppn rates in the second part of the night let me down. Light snow now. Expected more out of this but did manage to see 2 hours of full on blizzard so i will still call this a memorable event. S dublin coast dalkey

Anybody here know what it's like around ballymagarvey village? Meant to be going to a wedding there tomorrow!!

Took a walk around Kentstown this morning. Main Duleek / Navan road is open for a single lane of traffic (4x4s, tractors). Drifts of up to 5 feet off the main roads.

While Ballymagarvey Village is right on the N2, it might be... problematic for suppliers, staff, etc to get there. You'd really want to contact someone associated with the venue.

Indeed.. I see MetE have lifted the "stay indoors" warning - I'd hate to be reading reports later of eejits out swimming or stranded on hills/mountains putting rescue workers at risk as well as themselves because of this.

I don't plan to go anywhere today as while it's not gotten much deeper here (Laois), it's still very cold and icy and high gusts have been added to the mix.

Driving around south Dublin for an hour to prove there's no snow is David Brent to a factor of 10.

3 or 4 inches of snow in East meath, I'd say the bride will be loving the snow for photos. Ballymagarvey is just off the main ashbourne road which will be fine

Heavy snow Galway city, very few if any cars moving.

Very little added to the lying snow here in Dundalk overnight. Windy today with the odd snow flurry.

Can we just stop an appreciate how crazy this event is though that theres dubliners at sea level complaining about 'only' getting 4 or so inches last night
