Moderate snow in Limerick

sunsetbeachfan

For most of the day there has been heavy snow. I measured 28cm this morning and latest measurement is 43cm.
Stillorgan, Co Dublin

This is the most snow I've ever witnessed in this area.

Heaviest snow that we’ve had so far now in Cork City

precipitation looks like its swinging in from the east towards Dublin on latest radar. light to moderate snow again

Only downside of this spell is that it will probably be unbeatable for a long time; all snow events from now on (and this was the first real one in about 8 years, bar maybe the frontal events early this winter) will most likely pale in comparison to this. We really struck gold in terms of snow over the past few days.

Still very gusty in Ringsend, drifts up against the walls on the road outside reached up to my waist when I went out a few hours ago.

On both met and MW looks like a big finger of heavy intensity aimed straight at Dublin. I've said that a few times though over the last few days at this stage with approximately zero accuracy. :pac:

Has been snowing all day about 10 mins outside Ennis, the icing sugar snow. Stopped for two hours and started back about 20 mins ago with first proper looking snow Ive seen. Dunno what depth we got. Enough that lawn footpaths and driveway all blend into one and roads are undriveable bearing in mind we live in middle of nowhere!! Would be surprised if it isnt all shiny new snow in the morning at the rate its going!!

annd looks like we have a few minutes left of snow in cork city, no more coming up over the sea towards us. Next stop sleety rain land

No snow, just wild gusts in Roscommon.
Power flickered a few times, but thankfully we didn't lose it.
Hoping for some more interesting shapes in the snow tomorrow.
The drifts today were quite spectacular.

Steopo

Snow that fell in Donabate since 5pm is starting to thaw already. If more showers don't pep up we could lose a good bit by morning.

no more snow for cork city. : its been a fun 3 days

Back to work tomorrow by the looks of it

Continuing madness in D9. Making up for last night.

Precip getting juicy over the midlands now too. Shame about the Dublin radar being on the bounce, hard to see what's really heading our way as it's getting heavier here but radar suggests very weak precip.

Lashing snow in Portlaoise now😀

All the doubters will never admit they were wrong. They'll come out with guff like:
"Oh but Met Eireann said up to 1m and I only got 95cm"

Or

"Yeah but my back garden was fine so every other blade of grass in the country must have been fine too"

Or

"Look at meeeeeee"

Anyway, -0.3c in Lucan currently.
We headed out to the in-laws at 4 and came back at 8. All our footprints were completely covered by the time we got back.
Serious amount of snowfall even over the afternoon and early evening. Just very windy now.

Same here, far better than last night but radar shows it as very weak. Leaves me confused.

Compensating a lot on previously bare surfaces, sides of cars, etc for the thaw earlier, and the total depth is more for the snow on the ground that didn't melt much. Must be 10-15 cm lying now on those bits.

Daffodil.d

We had a very slight thaw here in Waterford this evening around 3 to 4 ish. But it didn't stop snowing. And even during the small periods of time that it was more like light rain it seemed to be freezing on the way down so it kept accumulating. The temps went from -2° up to 1° for short period.we have several feet of snow lying.I just can't believe we didn't fall into the red warning area. I'm in the East of the city. I have to work tomorrow morning at 9. So I'm walking. My car is under 2 foot of snow. And it's growing again.😯

hmmm

Is 3 degrees during the day enough to melt the snow that has already fallen? If it does warm up tomorrow, what is likely to happen?

highdef

Had there been a sudden and very significant increase in snowfall rates across the Midlands, in a band from Wicklow and West from there? Radar would suggest very heavy snow. If it's correct, the likes of Naas will be seeing extremely heavy snow shortly.

Lashing snow again In tinahely co wicklow
We had snow up to our waist today and 7/8 foot drifts we cant get out of where we are.

SkepticQuark

Snowing at the same intensity as it was this time last night on the border between Tipp and Limerick, window sills that were cleared today now getting covered again at a decent rate.

Lashing snow in Dublin 14 again, after a break.
