Getting plastered just south of Drogheda. Stuck under a train for nearly an hour and radar saying lots more to come!

Can confirm this!

Sideways snow, small flakes.

This is incredible.

Unbelievable scenes near Santry. Blizzard and drifting. It's mental.

Huge clouds forming over uk/ wales

Hey,

Sorry if this was asked already.
With the coming sneachta what are the odds of the electricity and/or the internet getting cut off?
Particularly in the Cork City area.

Cheers.

Jaysus, i'd be gutted if Dublin (north west) misses out on this blizzard after all the blizzard/blizzard-like/not-a-blizzard talk today. One time and all that.

It's coming down fairly heavy again now in Dublin 7, similar to last night.

My street lights went an hour ago in my estate, the whole estate. Still have electricity though. Depends on how much snow falls really and whether the lines can hold it, etc.. Impossible to tell really at the moment.

Low enough.

Wind is enemy #1 to power lines. Snow can only take them out by overloading trees which is less likely.

This is crazy , the snow is pummelling from the Sky but in some gusts of wind as I looked at the lamppost its whipping back up into the Air from the ground up above the lamppost and then blown away to it next destination , mesmerising to watch

Lecky - 10%, Internet - 90%

If the internet goes down in Cork then boards will become a graveyard

Windows are covered in snow here now. I’m speechless watching this. This is a fckin blizzard!

This is dry powdery snow , very unlikely to take trees or power lines down , plus being in the Cork City area I would assume a lot of utilities are ran in ducts

Netweather radar isn't picking up any of the current streaming affecting the lower half of Dublin - a quick check on ME and there is plenty on the way!

Absolute snowmageddon... Again. Drifts building at the back door.

RocketRaccoon

So how is clare looking for tonight? Anyone want to help?

SleetAndSnow

Is the snow from Emma expected to the powdery snow? I was thinking it was gonna be the wet snow since it's coming from the south , but then again it's actually meeting the colder air so if it's powdery snow then it's even better
