D14 has had continous smoderate to heavy snow since 10am or so, currently bucketing down and sticking to things! Big fluffy fat flakes:D

Proper snow in Limerick since morning and not letting up. The gritters and salt have made the city a slushy mess but outside the city is a snowfest!

This is currently my back garden. Still snow falling, although lightly and it's windy as well.

Does anyone one else among the almost 100,000 people who live along the coast from Youghal to Carrigaline right down to Clonakilty feel a bit left out after that RTÉ news at one report? We’ve had the heaviest snow on the south coast here since 1947 with power outages and all roads impassable and we get a short report from Pascal saying that things are not too bad in the city? How come all of the other reporters were able to give details about conditions all around their area? Sorry, I’m not one of these people who generally complain about RTÉ but having been snowed in here since Tuesday evening with several feet of drifts outside, it seems like we’ve been forgotten about here.

Still snowing constantly since 8am btw. At least RTE weather reported a snow accumulation of 40cm in Cloyne in south Cork but if you blinked you would have missed it!

No let up at all in Waterford City. Front garden wall (4ft) has been lost to the snow drifts; can't even see the top of it now. Car is buried halfway up in the driveway and still snowing steadily.

My partner has been told his workplace expect employees in at 6pm, but how they expect him to walk two miles in knee high snow is beyond me. Ridiculous expecting people to go out in this weather.

Right going for a walk, might as well. Snow not bad, a light blast but grand

Any pictures of the comeraghs?

I'm not sure if the Comeraghs are still there, it's too white out I'll try to get pictures later.

Proper heavy snow now in Dublin 9. Emma is sorting me out eventually.

Just about to say this. Heaviest I seen it.
Has anyone put any weather updates on the site.
Too many pages to look through

Yeah, I'm out since 9.30 and its about a foot or so deep, if not deeper in places. Mind the edges of the footpaths - the blend into the road

Continuing to snow in Limerick, hoping the temperatures drop again and stop the thaw, the fresh snow isn't sticking to bare surfaces again yet.

Still snowing in east cork, but think a slight thaw has occurred as well.

It's still snowing in Cork City and still accumulating. I don't remember ever seeing this much snow in my life, although my mam reckons 78 may have been worse (or was is 82 - she can't remember). I went to bed last night at 1am, and there was just the fine dust coming down, but no string winds or anything and it's be snowing continuously since about 8am. While I did want to see what the blizzard conditions would be like, I'm kinda glad now we didn't get that, because it's made today very enjoyable. The place is so quiet with no traffic, and plenty of people out walking and messing around in the snow. Had to come in there because I couldn't feel my toes! While I'm amazed at some of the stuff in the rest of the country which may have been more extreme - this is Cork, and this is extreme for us anyway. A pair of dry socks and a bit of a warm and I'm off out in it again!

There were heavy snowfalls in Cork city in 1978, 1982 and 1987. In 1987 temperatures dropped so low that people were able to walk and cycle on the Lough.

The emergency response guys seem to be thinking the country will reopen tomorrow.
What a joke it's snowing constantly here in Cork and we be lucky to be back on the roads Monday. Gerry was on thus morning saying the snow would turn to rain today, he's backtracking on this now. He's proven poor enough on his advice compared to the female staff last 2 days....even if it rains tomorrow the roads are going to be a no go until very best case Sunday

If we could just lose a half a degree or that...very wet snow and not sticking to anything or cleared
surfaces YET...but maybe in D9 we have one more bite despite the thaw we had earlier.

Snowing fairly heavily near Santry but pretty impotent to tackle the thaw.

Needs to be heavier.

Alanhooly

Can't put a number on it but this is definitely the worst (best) I've ever seen in South West Laois. This is currently the heaviest it has been over the last few days. Its surely exceeding 2010.

The short range on met.ie is saying that places which are at 0-1C now should be dipping back down to -0 and -1 within the next few hours: https://www.met.ie/forecasts/short-range.asp

The seriousness of this event is hitting home now. I have run out of milk.
