SweetCaliber

Tramore is still under severe snow, really heavy and no let up yet.

Here is some more pics, the roads in these pics are main roads and are under about a foot to 2 foot of snow currently. Snow drifts in the area are up to 4 - 5 feet.













Also if anyone can view this, main street tramore earlier:

I personally prefer and thought 2010 was more impressive here for my area specifically, Dublin 13.

I know that Kildare certainly has some shocking scenes but I'm only speaking for my area.

I agree. Same area.

Is there a meteorological explanation. Is it as simple as a stalled front?

Not on the northside where I am it isn't, and it might be very slight. The temps will probably drop again nearer sunset. The cloud cover hasn't broken yet.

Snow, though a bit wetter, still piling up here in Bishopstown but I have noticed it is starting to slide off the cars as it is obviously getting a bit milder.

That's what I'm hoping for, the snow to continue until Sunday set when it will freeze and sticking starts again. Although my dark skies app is predicting rain to come around 9/10

Netweather says the chance of snow fall gets less tonight but doesn't show it as rain.

Extraordinary given what is happening just a few miles down the road here. The snow is getting heavier and heavier by the minute and hasn’t stopped for 3 hours!

Same here! Looks like more heavy stuff is coming according to netweather. It's weird to see it snowing yet some things melting, my phone says it 1°c currently so maybe

Agree. Emma didn't really make it north of the Liffey. I'm hearing no reports of any disruption from places north of Dublin such as Drogheda, Dundalk, north Co Dublin etc.
I'm giving up now, whats left of Emma has stalled and I'm expecting nothing more than flurries from now on.

Not really. Kilkenny last night hadn't much fresh snow. Its been going now for about 4 hours

That’s still where the front is going west though. It’s stalled going north last night. And the main snow bands are driving West and south. You can see that on netweather.

It's pretty epic alright. Puts 2010 in the ha'penny place.
Just saw a video of Penney's in Wexford,all the snow on the roof sliding off into the street.

I've had to try clear the snow from the roof as it's so heavy it's broken some of the guttering clips. Will have to get the whole thing repaired next week.

Rochestown, Cork here. Never seen so much snow. Nearly another foot overnight. Absolutely incredible.

I was watching the heavier snow on the radar last night. It literally hit a wall around the Irish Sea just east of the city centre.

Indestructable

There is a snow drift where I am, here in North Kildare that's completely blocking the main road out of our village. It's approx 7 feet high and maybe half a km long, going the length of the road. It came across from an exposed field. Dozens of people out taking pics, never seen anything like it.

Snowaddict

Pictures coming in from friends and relatives in South KK show well over one foot level and rising with extreme drifting.

Truly a once in a generation event.

Here in Dublin 15 , hands down its beaten 2010 . Send pictures of my back garden to friends and people were stunned. We got it bad in 2010 but could get around no problem. The drifts have left crazy amounts at the top of our road.

Odd snow flurry here in Dundalk, but theres a definite thaw occuring as well.

Never seen snow like it here in kildare before and I'm in my 40s.
My garden in monasterevin 14 inches deep and 4 to 5 foot in the drifts.
Power gone here all morning, kids loving the pancakes cooked on the stove in living room.
Still snowing lightly.

Heavy snow in Inchicore. Like being up the alps.

I haven't heard any reports from the hillier parts of rural north county Dublin, they could have seen much more than the coastal towns.
The Naul, Garristown and Manowar areas have terrain that exceeds 100m above sea level.

PMBC

I believe shops opening after 1 today. Anyone know if fuel - briquettes, coal, timber available and, if so, where. Need some tomorrow at latest. Thanks. Hope ye are all wrapped up and cosy.

Thawing well in D9. Colder air must be straddling south of the city away from the coast.

Up till 3am and we were doing as well as anyone - snow coming down fast and depths flying up. We missed out on most of the heaviest streamers stuff and there was only a level ~10-13cm on the ground ignoring minor drifts before 8pm last night. Did well to get up to over 20cm with deeper in drifts.

Only drifting now is the cold spell slowly drifting away from my part of Dublin.

Enjoy those who are in line for more snow. Can see Wexford and and Wicklow catching up to N.Kildare by the sounds of it.

Ladies and gentlemen, my 54 year old dad let the inner child out and went kayaking down the hill :pac: :pac:

Relentless here in Cobh. Snowed in. Is there any chance of us getting out tomorrow? Cabin Fever

I'm watching the neighbours clearing the snow off their cars, it's the metre of snow in front of them that might pose more of a problem. :):)

grenouille1966

Phoenix park and Castleknock.

Drifts up to 3/4 feet with 40/50 cm on ground.

Snowing again..heavily

antodeco

Just measured out the back. 55cm fell in a sheltered spot since it began in Dublin 10.

There wasn't disruption in south dublin either until you get out as far as sandy ford and clondalkin and tallaght areas. Coastal areas doclands to dun laoghaire, ballsbridge, rathgar,dundrum milltown, rathmines are snowy but not that disruptive imo

Unbelievable snowfall in Kilkenny City all this morning, still hammering down now.

Magical conditions and more than makes up for the lack of blizzard like conditions last night.

revelman

Over 1000 homes still without power in Carrigaline area, 120 in Kinsale area and over 100 in Innishannon. Absolutely plummeting it down here in south Cork making working conditions even more difficult. Fair play to the ESB crews working to reconnect homes all over the country.

Just saw a guy doing that outside. There's no way to drive a car out there. I hope he's not intending on trying.
