[Snow Watch: Ireland]

I am a complete novice at this so can any of you guys tell me how accurate the gfs preciptation type chart is because when I look at the 6z it shows snow along the east coast all day and as I said earlier it has been snowing here for over 2 hours and is showing no signs of stopping

Light snow here now, too wet for it too stick though.

Its been snowing consistently here in Naas for the last 2 hours, there is quite a covering

[Short Film Of Deep Snow - Wales 1982]

I found this short clip of the aftermath of the heavy snowfall of January 1982 around what was then my village, about ten miles inland from Aberystwyth. The middle part of the clip is of the main road, the snow must have been over ten feet deep in places. The snowhole was actually dug down into the drifts on the main road, before the JCB came through to clear the way, which exposed half the hole, (this was about four days after the initial fall - we were totally cut off until then, but it gave us time to dig some pretty deep holes !). An amazing time, and the best snow I have ever experienced.

(sorry about the 'Demo version' thing across it - it's taken from a much bigger family films DVD, and I don't have any software which will take a clip from a DVD movie, and this was the only one I could find on the web)

I remember a major snowfall in Dublin in Jan 1982 it must be the same event I think it was around the 14th or 15th it snowed all day and then froze for about a week, we never had anything like it since

I found this on youtube
