Bit of a thaw in Cork City, but nothing significant. Still bits of snow coming down.

Just walked from college road to Saint lukes. Fairly tired but worth it

and still we get the damp squid (sic), non event merchants harping on & on about how their garden, road, village is grand. It's that kind of stuff that gives people a bullish attitude to the weather as if they are proving something by not being cautious. Lucky another person wasn't dragged in after that woman splashing around in the fooking sea in a snow storm.

M.T. Cranium on the technical thread suggests that it will take Emma 18 hours to pass over Kerry with 20-40cm of snow for the south, Wexford and Wicklow! This tallies with what we are experiencing here on the south Coast. Conditions have been exactly the same since 8am this morning. What is best described as moderate snow has been falling constantly since 8am. We already have significant accumulations here. Another 40cm would mean we won’t be able to open our windows here!

I was watching the rte news special & Gerry Murphy said the warnings will be extended at 4pm.

Started showing at yesterday evening around 8 pm and seems as though it hasn't stopped since.

Around my home there are accumulations of 2ft+ with drifts of 4-5 feet.

My car is disappearing gradually as the day goes by.

Totally agree. Until there's some sort of accountability these idiots will keep putting others lives at risk.

My weather app is saying it'll keep snowing here in rathgar until 10am tomorrow. That will be well over 48 hours of almost non stop snow.Its been correct so far and better than the radars which showed south dublin as having no precipitation today

Have had continuous snow in Waterford city since 5am yesterday...crazy amounts tried to walk to back of garden to try hit snow off a large bay tree I have because its bent over with the weight of snow and I was in snow over my knees on the flat

They are some absolute fools out there. What type of an idiot goes swimming in this blizzard. They should have left her there + not put their own lives at risk. It's like the other idiots who had to call the emergency services because they got stranded in the cars.....wait for it..... bringing their kids out to see the snow. Eh look outside your front down or walk to a green area nearby ffs.

Still snowing heavily here in Dublin 6, and it has been since I woke up. It's very chilly too. Left the dog outside and the poor thing is frozen solid.

People get into trouble on perfectly flat calm days too. That women clearly didn’t know the limits of her own abilities
I’m going out for a swim later myself, don’t worry there won’t be any vids of me getting into trouble to trigger you nor will there be any of the many other responsible adults around the country who take accountability for their own actions.
I’m guessing you aren’t involved with rescue services ,you never see them getting into competitive outrage fits on social media over this stuff

Does anyone else's dog hate the snow? My dog won't even go outside for a pee anymore because of the snow

Pascal said earlier that it was too dangerous for the snow ploughs to come out in Cork city. We have a rebel braving it!

The point is you don't know if you will get into trouble or not.
It is a risk you can avoid today given how stretched the emergency services are likely to be.

Agreed, have to wonder what she was thinking that sea looked a little too rough for swimming in.

Snow above knee height in Arklow now, a jeep was abandoned in the middle of the road near me

It's going to be a lot of fun for the snow ploughs over the coming days, when abandoned cars are going to be completely hidden by drifts...

It’s too rough for a lot of people certainly, there’s plenty of people who it’s not too rough for though
