    Did you have no snow?

    We're only up the road from you and I looked out at 5 and the snow falling was gorgeous. Little elf is outside playing with the small bit that stuck - tops of cars, etc.

    No snow landed where I am. You can tell it had been snowing but it didnt survive the night.

    I have about 10 flakes on the roof of my car, but that's it. The sun is shining now and not even the roof tops are white

    Don't think so, ground was just wet when looked at 6.30am, car had a little sleet on the windscreen and little on roof of shed.

    Seems to have been very localised. They were talking about it on the radio when dropping kids to school, is hard to make general weather predictions, even within counties as are factors such as altitude and closer to the sea etc.

    Yeah, we don't usually get snow either, too close to the sea. I left the lad walking to school with his cousin, snowball fights the whole way.

    HAd to scrape about 2 inches off the car to bring the kids to school. But other cars on the road looked like they'd none on them at all, our garden is an exposed spot so maybe we just caught more than most. Everything green on the way was covered in snow, all roads & footpaths clear though.

    Just looking at the weather app there, heavy rain forecast for tomorrow & Sunday but temperatures on the rise so just wet & miserable with little chance of more snow.

    Was really hoping our match will be called off tomorrow, don't fancy Skerries at noon in the lashings of rain!

    edit.

    Match tomorrow cancelled as all pitches in Fingal are confirmed as off.... think I'll have a beer tonight so😀

    We have three to four inches here & school is closed! We've had a lovely morning out building a snowman, but sadly, the kids have been shipped off now to the grandparents while I knuckle down to some work. Only down side of WFH, there are no snow days any more! I was tempted to say that the electric was gone :P

    Lovely out now, warm in the sun and not a breath of wind. Hard to believe after yesterday and what forecast for tomorrow!

    The lad had snowball fights on the way to school and walked back after school in his t-shirt. Go figure.

    So glad all today's games were cancelled, wouldn't have enjoyed standing out in that mucky weather for a couple of hours at all.

    I've been beside the stove since 12 watching football. Not moving myself.

    Its incredible the price of fuel. 10KG of bricketts were €9.

    It was a brutal match alright. And that issue with the ball was so frustrating.

    For everything that went against us, to have the will to win the way we did in that second half was incredible. Nowhere near us at our best but shows how hard we are to beat now...

    Next week will show how much strength in depth we have against an England side that need a performance after their tonking on Saturday.
