How much snow where you are?

[the 12 th man]

Blessington Co.Wicklow:About 1.5 inches but more in local fields with drifting etc,tonight looks like a bitter cold one:(

[dahamsta]

Zero. We've had a lovely few days in east Cork, bright and sunny and really not all that cold.

Going for a stroll on the beach tomorrow! :)

[SkStu]

Regina, Saskatchewan - about 2 foot and its belting down. Only -12 today though, which is nice.

[Schumi]

Not too much on the ground here (South Dublin, bottom of the Dublin mountains), maybe 1-2cm. I hope to take a walk up to Three Rock before the snow melts to see what it's like up there.

[brendy_éire]

Away with ye's and yer imperical measurements!

We've had about 3cm today, which is sitting nicely on top of the layer of ice that's formed on the roads. We've with another 5cm due tonight. Brilliant stuff.

[Rovers1]

Going for a stroll on the beach tomorrow! :)

Class, I LOVE the beach.


We've about the same and Brendy has, snow is nice, but the ice under it isn't.

[pineapple stu]

Away with ye's and yer metric measurements!

Maybe half an inch last night in Greystones. Garden was green before that. Very disappointing overall. Sky News reporting possible 16 inch falls to come in parts of England.

[Sligo Hornet]

We had around 6 inches of snow overnight in Watford (still managed to get to work in Harlow) and another load due this afternoon (so may spend the night in a hotel rather than risk many hours trapped in the car)

[the 12 th man]

About another 2 inches today so far:(

[pineapple stu]

About another 2 inches today so far :)

[the 12 th man]

About another 2 inches today so far :)

Don't drive much stu?

[Wolfie]

About another 2 inches today so far :)

We're still talking about snow, right?

[dahamsta]

Sun still cracking the stones in east Cork. :)

[passinginterest]

Snow and a bit of thunder and lightning in Dublin city centre a while ago, interesting combination. :)

[pineapple stu]

Don't drive much stu?
Get the train to work. :)

Did that Security van driver make the love heart in the snow?

[passinginterest]

Apparently all Dublin buses are off, the Luas will be mental on the way home, and if that gets cancelled then it's going to be a hell of a walk, it really is mad how a few centimeters of snow can shut the country down.

[Infadel]

The DCU campus is covered with a large blanket of snow and the library on campus is closing early because of this.

[the 12 th man]

Get the train to work. :)


Let's hope you don't get "Frozen points" :eek::)

Lads if any of you get any more info can you post it here? Dublin Bus site keeps crashing due to numbers and I'll need to know what buses are running around 8pm.

Cheers in advance.

Probably, he's a lonely soul!

[tetsujin1979]

Buses may resume if the roads are gritted, all buses are currently parked until further notice

Thanks (as per usual) foot.ie, have lift organised now anyway. :)

You'd be quicker, and warmer, walking.

I shudder to think the consequences of today's Dublin journeys were if there was no Luas.

[Rovers1]

Listening to national radio stations the last couple of days (Dub based ones), and it's funny how the these radio stations go into a state of flux with weather reports every fifteen minutes, only when the snow hits the capital.

[sligofan4ever]

A fresh sheet of snow fell over Sligo there about half an hour ago.

[De Town]

Longford hasn't had a bit of snow :eek: Although we were convered in about 6 inches of it during Christmas.

[endabob1]

No snow here, temperatures back down to the low 30's which is good because it was stiffling over the weekend, hit 42 one of the days.....it's Hell liviing in Africa :D

[Dodge]

Fair bit of snow. No dublin buses serving my area (all terminating about 45 mins to an hour's walk away)

[brendy_éire]

I think we got that shower a couple of hours before ye. Not nice driving.

[dahamsta]

Looking a bit dodgy here now, still sunny but there's an ominous grey cloud lingering...

[Magicme]

We still have a covering of snow but its not that thick anymore. Hopefully we get more this evening. My eldest lad has an extra 2 days holidays coz of it but the younger fella is fuming coz he had to go back today. There were only 18 in his class of 32 in today though. The pleasures of living on the edge of the town with the roads well gritted.

[Dodge]

All Dublin buses finishing at 8 tis evening.

[Wolfie]

Snow, ice and now..................fog.

[thischarmingman]

All Dublin buses finishing at 8 tis evening.

Yeah, just been told I can leave work at 7 rather than 9.

I'll have to make it up next week, but as a short-term thinker...yaaaaaaayy!


Snow, ice and now..................fog.

I feel like I'm in a Dickens novel. :)

[passinginterest]

Freezing fog was falling like glitter about an hour ago, as I was walking back from the shops, never seen anything quite like it.

[osarusan]

It's a balmy 1 degree here in Limerick.

Same in Waterford, was playing footie in it from 6 to 7 and it was quite magical under the lights. Seen it once or twice before (again at footie, under lights) think it needs to be well below zero for it to happen.
Must have kept glinting in my eyes though, couldn't pick a pass all night. :D

[passinginterest]

I'm beginning to regret living so close to the Luas, no buses running out my way and anyone a little bit further out is getting to stay at home, whereas I'm coming into work late and leaving early which is costing me time on my clock that I'll need to work back.

It's snowing again in the city centre (well it's just stopped again now), and it's supposed to be heavy snow and fog out in Tallaght. More fun times ahead getting home this evening so.

Excellent photo. And, of course, the little slip of green to the left is us. Must be mad in Britain at the moment.

Cork under a whopping 1mm of snow! I'm off to build me the worlds smallest snow man!

[roinuj]
