Is that on your lawn? If those measurements tend to overstate. You should measure on a level surface such as driveway or top of a car.

Very impressive!
Proper measurement as well (not on the windward side of a wall ).

It's difficult to walk against the wind here in Celbridge now with the extent of the blowing snow.

Worse, there's a yellow snow warning out too...

That's right. Prodigious amount for here. Drifts too. We don't need a blizzard, we've had enough thanks Emma.

that has to be a snow drift. Dunshaughlin area generally has between 3 and 5 inches of snow, heard there is about 6 in Navan.

It is becoming very difficult to measure the actual snowfall as the wind is whipping the snow everywhere.

There was like 6 in Navan yesterday morning, it's at about 12 now.

It’s been snowing relentlessly all day so far (and I got up at 8 am so not sure how long before that).
It’s just fantastic. Went for a walk and by the time I came back all my tracks were covered again.
Hard to believe there’s more to come. Definitely exceeding 2010 accumulations here anyway and that was amazing.

The countrywide red warning really is a test of whether your employer actually cares about employee well-being.

20cm of snow measured on the roof of my shed a while a go, been snowing for over 6 hours now in Tramore, Co. Waterford. Magical stuff, doesn't look like it's going to stop anytime soon either.

I have to say, this is like childhood snow... as it is here in Waterford, it has to beat 2010 and is probably up there with 1987.

It's been snowing all day... I tried to get to work around 8 but gave up after a few skids... car fully cleared of snow, and there's 5 cm on it again.

And this storm Emma hasn't even arrived here yet! :eek:

thecretinhop

forgot to say snowing since my first post probably 2 hours plus of snow now galway

Looks like Greystones is set to miss out!

I am getting very worried here the forecast is not going to materialise here.

Snow is falling all afternoon but we are thawing rather than accumulating.

Well Goath I normally don't judge, but... :pac:

Unbelievably disappointing day here in Tipp, bone dry, slight thaw despite -2 temps, radar is FUBARed, models have no consensus on precipitation tonight, some show limited to south and east coast and others showing heavy snowfall making it to south connaught. It all just has an air of impending disappointment.

Nothing here all morning near Wicklow Town.
