I'm about 700m up the Putland Road from the seafront and there is a decent amount of snow here. Closer to the seafront there's apparently very little though.

I am at the top of the Boghall/ Killarney Road junction and there is decent covering up here with some large drifts.

It has been snowing relentlessly here on the south Cork coast since yesterday. Even though the snow looks wetter than yesterday’s or Tuesday evening’s, it is sticking and adding a few more cm to what we already had. Elderly people on local radio (places like Barryroe) saying that this is the heaviest snow accumulation in this particular area in living memory, comparable to 1947 perhaps.

Similar scenes in Celbridge. Snowing for 2 days now with drifts at least waist height.

Some people are unreal, you might be near the coast in Dublin and it may look okay to you but there are people with significant difficulties due to heavy snowfall and winds overnight just a few KM away from you.

Met Eireann got this spot on, it's impossible to forecast hyper-local conditions for your back garden. I'm probably just rising to the trolls but forecasting weather is extremely complex and the forecast snow and disruption happened, even if you only got an inch or two at sea level.

Look at the UK, they didn't have a stay home warning and people have lost their lives or dangerously stranded, good job Met Eireann.

I am in Rathmines and was hoping for 1982 type scenes outside my windows this morning, didn't quite happen that way this close to the coast but still spectacular event for March. It's falling as very wet snow/sleet here right now too, can some of the trolls send me the address I should send my official complaint to so I can get some justice?

Like 2 different worlds in Greystones..

The seafront is a raging angry storm.. Can't even look out to sea cause it's like needles hitting your eyes..

Then a 5 minute walk back up the hill and it's like a wonderland with kids out sleighing down hills..

Snowing non stop and heavy since dawn in SE Meath. I'd love to venture out in it but just going out the back to top up the starving birds feast is absolutely Baltic with the biting wind

According to Gerry Murphy on RTE just now, away from high ground, any snow will turn to sleet by tonight.

No he said it might turn to sleet later in the day but snow again tonight.

Lots of snow here overnight in the western surburbs of Cork City and still falling. Not going anywhere today. Sorry if someone's already posted this. But good advice here for what to feed the birds. They'd like fresh water too. Stay warm everyone!

It just won't stop snowing here in North Kildare; still blizzard like at times too.

Celbridge. I helped push a car free, got bogged down in a drift... the person driving should not have been out.. no experience and kept stalling as we pushed them free.

For my area it is infinitely better than the met.ie radar. Doesnt seem to do Dublin well though.

I haven't been out at all, purely 'window-casting' from the St Wolstans Abbey end.

My husband just brought tea and toast down to some fella stranded on the main road. He's driving a little Citroën berlingo, luckily it's not white, it's blue. The van just won't go any further. He has a friend in a jeep coming to give him a tow but his friend is also having trouble driving. My husband told him that if he hasn't been picked up within the next hour, he's coming up to us until someone can get to him.
No idea why he's out driving, didn't ask.
