    Anyone still getting heavy snow?

    Moderate snow here in North Kilkenny / Laois border, although probably the heaviest it's been in last 24 hours. Snow coming almost vertically down now🌨

    Kildare looks like it has more than double the depth of snow an drifts compared to anywhere else. The photos from Kildare are similar to what we had in 1982.

    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.

    Ballymagarvey said they have all the supplies in and the bride says she's not cancelling. Miten't be as bad tomorrow.

    UK experienced 8 to 11 hours tailback on motorways yesterday, over 8,000 car collisions, emergency services stretched. I'm sure there will unfortunately be fatalities too.
    We had no such problems as we heeded the warnings, no issues here with the red alert, I went to work yesterday in Dublin and left the office at 1:30 pm. Brought some work home to do today.

    I walked out in it earlier and the main road wasn't cleared. I'm cork city there didn't seem to be a whiteout but it's just tipping away snowing lightly and sometimes heavier but it's building slowly. I did check one of my footprints and tried to feel what's under the snow and it's ice. So the snow might look hice but underneath it is a layer of ice.

    I hope you don't mind. I shared your photo on FB to someone who lives in the area. I credited you or at least your boards user name. :)

    The south coast from Wexford, Waterford along to about Clonakilty is right up there too on snow depth. The heavy snow that is hugging the coastline here could bring us up to Kildare levels soon. Local areas such as Barryroe between Kinsale and Clon have already had heavier snow than 1947.

    Edit: OK looking at some of those recent photos from Kildare, I don’t think we are quite there yet but if it continues snowing like this for the rest of the day we could be!

    Walked down to the only shop open in Clane, the main road has had a few jeeps go down it but the smaller roads have had none and it was a killer in parts.

    bitterly disappointed in last nights snow (lack of it) but overall this has been the most memorable snowfall i can remember (I was too young for 1982!). s. roscommon


  • Registered Users Posts: 20,448 ✭✭✭✭joes girls


    Word of warning, we went out this morning to have a look around. When we went to go back in our door would not open, thank god older son was still in bed. Think inside the lock was frozen.

    Has completely stopped snowing now and looks like a thaw is underway.

    Just been for a walk / snowball fight with the kids and turns out there's a lot more here in Rathnew/Wicklow than I realised! Looking out the window and you can see bits of uncovered road, but it's blown somewhere else so in other places it's almost up to the knees.
