Not too much of a top up in THIS part of East Galway but all the roads are impassable all the same.
Looks like the heavier stuff went south and west of us fish a few friends have sent some amazing pictures of roads around clarinbridge . Galway city seems to have hit a good pasting too

+1c here on the coast, Dublin 5.

We've had plenty of snow since Wednesday morning but starting to melt now. I see it dripping from my van also snow on the grass is icy or slushy

Where I live in south Armagh is very exposed half of my driveway hasn’t one grain of snow the other half is 3-4 feet has blown all to one side

WORD OF WARNING.
Watch out for thawing snow sliding off roofs throughout the day. Enough of it can be quiet heavy if it falls on your head.

And feed the birds!!

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

I actually got no extra net snow last night. Very strange considering the south side was buried.

Also Dublin tends to do well out of easterlies.

Anyway it is what it is. Enjoying what I have.

FINALLY proper snow in Dublin 5!

Im laughing at the people around Dublin who are still convinced it rained last night. Some posters who insisted it was rain early in the night suddenly realised at 1am that the snow had been piling up the whole time outside.

Even now its trying to snow at sea level, but with larger wet flakes that look like typical snow.
Yes its slushy on the coast, but its surviving very well regardless.

Still snowing. But there's a thaw going on 😞

I am now seeing snow for the first time in this spell after days of snow grains.
reason is its because its +1c I presume?

the snow grains stuck to windows and melted and it looked like rain :-)

Here in Dublin 24 the snow is easily a metre high where it drifts, we have it high at back of our house. The centre of the road is easily a metre high too. No cars will get off our road today.

so is the Cork snow shield 'theory ' now disproven or is it still valid but with the proviso that ' the theory does'nt apply when there's a beast from the east combined with a storm form the south'.

20 cms in parts of the city with drifts up to 60 cms and probably another 20 cms or so to come, looking at the radars.

thaw on here too. I reckon the thaw will become more progressive over the weekend as temperatures increase slightly each day.

Started snowing again in Finglas, North Dublin.

What Irish people call “proper snow” is generally wet snow. So, yes probably. Large flakes are wet snow.

We had an awful lot of snow here in Waterford and it's still snowing. It's going to take a big thaw to shift it.

Typical I remember 82 and 2010 as I was living in D5 then. In by town now and everything resembles a coffee slush puppy

Please send some of the heavy stuff my way

I would've had much more snow if Emma didn't come. She's killing the steamers and bringing nothing here.

Same here in south Cavan. Had constant snow yesterday morning till afternoon but as soon as the storm arrived we've had nothing

It was a fun few days, but will bit tired of the snow now at this stage!

Amazed at the lack of thaw on the coast here in dublin the past few days. Would have expected it to be more dramatic but even now very little thaw happening.

Still snowing in Snadymount.
