Is there anywhere in dublin with no snow??
I thought every part of dublin has at least 2 inches or so

Last night and yesterday during the day - yeah there was absolutely many cases of posters on this site talking about the heavy snow in their areas whilst people had none in others.

Check out awecs posts as an example.

Cantona's Collars

Only in Ireland would you see a woman in Pyjamas and dressing gown walking a dog in the snow at 3.30pm.

3 hour forecast looks tasty

Can I just about make out a little bit of precip, or at least the very edge of it over Sligo there?

Just up the road from Bray, would say the snizzle today has barely topped up yesterdays snow, only about 6cm if even that on the ground. Amazing that Casement has over 20cm and isnt a million miles from here as the crow flies.

Same here in bray, very little top up since yesterday, would hope for a major top up tonight

3-4pm in southern eastern counties i think?

It hasn't arrived here yet on the south Cork coast. Conditions same all day. This is the best website I've found for tracking Emma's progress:

From the northside of cork city the south side is getting less easier to see. That's what happened last night. There has been a bit of a thaw here but nothing major. The only houses where the snow is gone off the roofs is then who have their fires lighting. The snow is gone around the chimney.

Snowing all day here in North County Dublin. Blizzard like now. I've never seen anything like it. Years ago you would have days when you wake up + place covered in snow but it wpuld nearly be gone by next day. Never remember it snowing non stop. I'm too young for 1982 was it this bad then?

I was in North County Dublin in 1982. The snow fell almost continuously over a 36 hour period. Not that deep in open fields maybe 10cm but the drifts in roads between the hedges was unbelievable. 8 to10 ft high. We ran on the top of them when they froze up.
On the main Dublin to Ashbourne road the drifts completely blocked the road to a height of 6 to 10 ft for miles and miles, except where there were gaps in the hedges. The big Roadstone quarry diggers were brought in to shift the snow and open the roads.

Will be interesting to see if we get the same drifting.

Everyone please be careful and stay indoors. Totally irresistible for the government to advise to stay indoors after 4pm . It should have been 3pm. Thats when my hat blew off and I was nearly hit by a few snowflakes. Totally severe weather.

Is she actually a meteorologist? I don't usually watch RTE weather forecast so I'm not sure who's who.

Would love a whiskey now

Awwwwfook

I'm in Lismore in West Waterford and apart from a few flurries we havent had much. Yet if you drive 20 mins in any direction it's like a winter wonderland.
I'm slightly miffed. Please warm my heart and tell me we are in for a few inches at least.

Just checked one one the benches out the back garden, 9 inches sitting on top of it in the Curragh. Sorry I've no pick, for the life of me I can't find my tape and had to use a brush handle and a tailors tape to measure it.

Genuine question for anyone that knows,how many people were killed during the 1982 event

I know of one man who died due to being caught out in blizzards near Ballinascorney in the hills in County Dublin. His body was found in drifts some time later.

Burts Bee

Moderate snow flurry in north cork now

Mount Vesuvius

Newbridge getting a hammering since morning. Heavier sneachta falling lately. This is epic already .
