    Cork snow shield fully restored, the few flakes we got around 10 are just a memory now.

    you must be joking...at least 8 cm in Castleknock which is just up the road and still snowing

    Doesn't look like 8 cm to me. Don't measure it on the grass.

    Could there be a third within weeks?

    Well there is a chance of a cold northerly at the end of March and the start of April.

    Anyone know what the n11 is like between Arklow and Bray??

    Is it gritted or cleared??

    Can't say for certain, but Wicklow County Council are playing a blinder on the text alert service and they say that gritting and ploughing is ongoing. Caution advised for all roads - slippery conditions. Secondary roads should be avoided.
    Sign up for text alerts on the WCC website (select all sub districts that apply to your usual travel route).

    Big fluffy flakes in Limerick City, not really settling though and strangely windy for an easterly.

    Yes hooray for the return of the Cork snow shield. Just driving into town now for lunch! Makes a change to being snowed in for 5 days!

    This is ridiculous. Everywhere around East coast of Meath they have huge amounts of snow and it might aswell be raining cause the snow is just melting......

    F**k you Isle of Man.....

    Wicklow through very S.dublin and into N.Kildare look like benefiting the most at the moment from this regeneration over the Irish sea. Starting to beef up nicely off the Wicklow coast.

    If you can't see a slice held out at arms length you are in a blizzard. Not quite there yet.

    the terms 'white-out ' and 'blizzard - like ' should be automatically filtered out from this thread

    Didn't think I would be back on this forum so quickly, but for the record, here is the current status at Ice Station Kilo (Kilpedder), North East Wicklow.

    10:30hrs

    Currently snowing heavily - depth 3.5cms on flat surface
    Big flakes of wetter snow than during Storm Emma
    Temp -1.1 c
    Pressure 1006 hPa, steady

    Visibility is bad at times during heavy fall

    Christmas tip - take a photo of your house now for a custom greeting card next Christmas :)

    More than likely we might have this on Christmas Day too!
