Power City in Tallaght have the record for the latest snow I've ever seen. In 2010 they cleared the carpark into a big compressed heap that was still there 5 weeks after everything else melted. A shadow of its former massive self, but still there.

Still thumping down in Tallaght/Firhouse. For the record, I'm very much of the 'snow is a pain in the hole' camp. Any of the wise forecasters here willing to predict when life can go back to normal?

Tomorrow the thaw sets in. It will be a gradual thaw as tempertures will still be well below normal for much of the country

Gonna have to get shovelling before the thaw. Dreading it already!

Still bucketing down in Sallins, Kildare.

Take it handy on the shovelling. This is not a joke but one of the main causes of deaths from snow events is people shovelling snow particularly for anyone over 50.

How has that precipitation in the Irish Sea just stayed pretty much in the same place all day?

18Z ECM following just about every other model. Snow line to sea level until 9am. From 9am to 3pm snow line rises above ground from south to north.

There are potentially 15 hours of significant snowfall left. I feel worried for the likes of the picture above from Sallins, that is dangerously close to people being trapped.

Very likely a reload of snow for south and Midlands from around midnight to sunrise.

Hope so looks like the front is pulling back into the Irish sea on the radar?

It looks like it's raining in D18 now.

Not sure if it's actually rain, but the windows have water drops all over them as if it was rain and that's the first time we've seen that during this whole storm. Maybe the snow is so fine now it's melting as soon as it hits a window.

It could be the heat from your house melting snow on your house.

Bucketing down in East Cork again and sticking.

Took a walk up a hill nearby here in Ladysbridge and found these amazing scenes. This is two miles from the coast!

Some of the drifts against the hedges were 12-14ft high....

Snowing again in Cork (Douglas) lol

Madness. I mean there is still a lot of snow on the ground in cork city. And it's gotten noticeable colder in cork city in the last half an hour. I know it's meant to change tomorrow but there has been a lot of snow compacted on roads in my estate. It was slippy earlier.

Not even close to being that.

I dont know about other folks, but here in my part of D16 this absolutely destroys 2010. Its frankly incredible. I am as excited as anyone else by snow. I have been delirious with excitement for the last few days but I honestly wouldn't mind if it stops now. Its starting to get a bit worrying.

Its not rain, temps have dropped below freezing again here thus the snowflakes are not so sticky anymore.

Front is retreating out to sea again unfortunately! Wonder will it push back later if models think we'll get more? So many unexpected twists and turns!

EDIT: Wonder is the radar just crap still. Need a few more updates.

Not rain. My windows have been streaming water all day in D14 and the snow keeps piling up.
