Whats ye’r take on this ?
Still snowing now stop since last night , south tipp.
Thanks

It hasn’t stopping snowing at all today in Enniscorthy. I’d say the drifts in my back have grown 30cm since 7.30am. Went for a walk earlier to check on my mother and paths and roads average 20-40cm deep. Drifts against walls and cars from 1 - 1.8m+. Much more than 2010. It’s lashing down snow in the last hour. The path I cleared a hour ago now has a 3cm covering. I don’t see this clearing by Monday.

Snow trying to stick here on the coast but still a bit marginal. A km or two inland south dublin should get another few cms out of this I think

5 foot deep in my yard now
Across the whole yard near Arklow
Everything buried
Track machine on the way to see if we can clear it
Still snowing very heavy
Hour 18 of Emma
Rivaling if not surpassing jan 82

ESB truck got stuck in a 10 foot drift over the road from here

What strikes me about the pictures of the drift-clogged roads is that there are no cars or buses trapped in them... Unlike the pictures taken in 1982. Now we see the benefit of the red alert system.

There were a few heading up to Windgates between Greystones and Bray. Seen a video this morning on the Greystones Open Forum. Seem people are just mental.

Considering the state of the Country after all the snow it's funny that they are now telling people to go out.

Why are people still complaining about red alerts and no snow etc, friends in kildare totally snowed in with 5 feet of drifts, around here in dalkey 2 feet of drifts along the side of footpaths.....what more evidence do they need, pictures coming from parts of carlow with snow over the roofs of cars......

Well they are not really telling people to go out... they have just lifted the stay inside warning.

Because they don't have snow in their back yard

Oh and a van was stuck on road and listen to this they travelled from ashbourne to do a job in glencullen are people just mental

Snow is getting even heavier here in Dublin 10. Definitely worse than 2010 for snow. However, the issue in 2010 were the 2 lots of snow, as the first one melted and froze. That was what made everything lethal. So far we have snow, so people can walk and crash can grip. I really hope we don't have a rapid thaw, as it'll cause serious flooding.

Have any provisions been done to prepare for the melting snow?

Slight bit of snow here in Coolock. Nothing major are we expecting more or is that the worst of it done?

Looking at the radars it seems if the temperatures play ball we still have another few hours to go in South East?

Some expect the Red alerts to cover their actual house. If they don't have snow they feel there shouldn't be an alert for anyone.

I don't follow their logic

It's not been very heavy in cork since last night but it's been tipping away and not stopping.

No let up in Cork (Turners Cross). The footprints I created outside my door at 9 this morning are now almost completely covered again although the snow does seem wetter.

Sky is still working here. Probably a build up of snow on your dish.

PokeHerKing

Really coming down in Tallaght the last few hours. Best snow fall we've had since Tuesday night's event.

Hopefully add another foot or two if it keeps up all day!

Went outside with the family to play in it for an hour. Main road outside the estate impassable. 3 cars stuck on it. Snow up to just below my knee (I’m 6 foot) on paths in the estate

Drifts of nearly 6 foot in the corner of the green

Genuinely never seen anything like it
