Sustained heavy snow in raheny now, great to see after a quiet morning

I just cleared my driveway!

It hasn't stopped snowing here since 9 or so (D15).

It's still gusty snow, too. Between the snow on the ground and the constant snowing it's worse than yesterday for sure.

The place is dead though...whatever about the lifting of that advisory, seems like no one here is going out. I'm getting some serious cabin fever myself.

Ha wasn't there a scene in some disaster movie ,( maybe day after tomorrow..?) where it started snowing at the pyramids and that was the sign of disasters to come

Those of you wishing for more snow, please stop. Some of us have been trapped in work for 72 hours now with no replacements and are wallfallen. Those of us working in Healthcare are dying to get home.

Imagine ireland was more influenced by its eastern airmasses during winter time and it regularly ended up mixing with strong atlantic storms coming from our west..ireland would probably be world famous for having the most amazing snow storms on earth!

Very light snow in Rush, it’s not sticking and most of what we had is melting away. Surprised the proper stuff didn’t hit here!

Daniel2590 · 02-03-2018 3:27pm

Absolutely bucketing down in D18 the last hour, proper snow too and not the pellets we had yesterday.

In fairness, wouldn't use joe Duffy callers as a measure of community

I called into my next door elderly neighbours twice now. They're too proud to open the door. They'll hunker down until they can put the glad rags on and head to the boozer again.

Very fine snow here again on the coast in Donabate. Had been thawing so can't really seeing it sticking.

honeybear · 02-03-2018 3:28pm

It’s lightly snowing in North Tipp for most of the day and amazing how much has built up

Yeah because WISHING for snow has any impact on what the weather will actually do. Rolling my eyes so hard

When i lived with harsh winters. I would always rather clear my drive in heavy snow and get rid of the 10 inches at a time than try clear a few feet at the end altogether.

dharma200 · 02-03-2018 3:30pm

seeing video of coastal floods in Dublin, hope people ok.. how grim to be flooded in this cold. I remember the misery of lsush every year as a child in scotland. The grimmnes hasnt really arrived yet

Don't be too hard on them, they must have run out of bread. Absolutely incredible scenes. I imagine this surpasses the snowfall of 1982 at this stage for those who have witnessed both.

I asked the neighbour how it compares and he reckons this is worse.
Back then, while bad, the roads were worse and we didn't have the modern infrastructure. Of course no way of saying for sure, but all I can say that at least in Naas it is incredible scenes.
The most dramatic part which is impossible to get across in this forum is the howling wind and side ways snow and ice forced into the side of your face.

It's deadly!:pac:

Was out again there and it's definitely thawed a bit since earlier despite snowing all day (D12). Hopefully it doesn't thaw too much before dark and a (presumed) drop in temps again.

I know people are like "Yay, this is proper snow, not the pellets" but this stuff is much wetter and is probably contributing to the thaw. The pellets are nice and dry.
