Unfortunately for me near the Seafront in Bray Peak snow was about 2 inches deep on the flat despite 30 hours of moderate to heavy snow Thursdays 9pm into the wee hours of this morning. ie. Falling snow only kept pace with the thawing or natural compacting under its own weight. So for me this entire period didn't beat the first hour of snow under a streamer on Nov 26th 2010 nevermind the entire period. I really thought that worst case would be 1987 1ft of snow on the level for the Seafront area while other areas of Dublin and Wicklow got levels one starts measuring in fractions of a metre. I would have been happy with that and not really expected more given I'm on the Seafront. Twas not to be though and I'm 'Bitterly' disappointed
Whats going to be really strange given this event happened near the beginning of March, is that if we get some decent sunny mild weather in the next couple of weeks, how weird is it going to feel sweating while cutting the grass or a hedge in a T-shirt and remembering that literally a few weeks previously that garden or hedge was under several feet of snow and drifts. Those two scenarios are usually several months apart at a minimum.
Who knows, maybe this year will play out like 2010. A Snow event at the beginning of the year and then another in Nov/Dec before the calendar year is out.0 -

You got unlucky on both counts! Portmarnock was just North enough to get a nice feed of powder feeders from Wednesday night through until Friday midday. It largely missed out on the Emma snow but still got that additional two inches last night as you mention.
In an ideal world for those on the immediate coast we needed those conditions Wednesday through Friday morning to persist for longer to give us deep stuff.0 -

The difference this time is that the snowfall happened at end of Feb/beginning of March, while the first spell of very cold weather in 2010 occurred in Jan of that year. Jan this year was nothing out of the ordinary weatherwise so it`s not really playing out the same.0 -
