There was similar scenes in 1983 I think it was, in Dublin anyway, I was only a kid so not sure how widespread it was.

Does anyone know if its still looking good for the south at the end of the week?

Im continuing to catch the edge of those beefy South Down snow streamers. Downpatrick must be doing well.

[The Eagle]

Outbreaks of snow here north Dublin - moderate to heavy at times. Down appears to be doing well.

[The Eagle]

Blizzard conditions and thunder here this morning. Decent enough covering.

[skywatcher]

Great news that Dublin is getting some snow after patiently listening to us wittier away about our snowfall for the last week. A very light new covering overnight here but nothing to write home about.

[BIG LAD]

another covering here this morn. bbc said last night that the breakdown will not happen on friday, cold will hang on.

lucan in south west dub getting a hammering. first proper snow since 2010

[ronan]

Don't think there was ever gonna be a real breakdown on Friday. The front only really makes it to the Southern Tip of Ireland the gets pushed away again.

Nice covering in Swords 4 - 5 cm and still snowing

[Rocheydub]

North suburbia Dublin just had a heavy fall of huge snowflakes. About 2cm on the ground, but thawing rapidly even though the sun isn't out. Looking at the radar, there's more ag teacht! Best snowfall since 2010...

[patneve]

only dustings this morning but seriously impressive snowfall intensity in some of the showers. Got one just after nine that maybe even surpassed the 2010 shower intensities...could be that March sun!

1.30 pm and i am enjoying the heaviest snow /hail shower of the winter ..on my 6th day in a row of falling snow ..new record !!

[snowydog]

Snowing heavy here in Belfast

[The Cashel Cockney]

Light snow showers here in Cashel.

[patneve]

Nothing on the radar but we have really heavy hail and graupel at the minute. Roads and grass going white.

[The watcher]

Couple of heavy snow showers here this afternoon. Nothing lay but intense showers.

[Earth Wind and Snow]

Had a light covering here this morning after a few heavy snow showers last night and again up to about 10am this morning - showers were lighter and less frequent after that with good sunshine at times this afternoon

Some flurries still blowing in the wind here now - but I think one these showers die out overnight and in the morning we may finally say adieu to snow again until next winter as latest models show a cold dry spell ahead with risk of rain sleet in south-west before a gradual warm up in early April

It has been an exciting last few months - I have seen numerous days of falling snow since mid January ranging from flurries to heavy showers with some lying snow experienced on 5 of those days plus a few dustings - certainly beats the 5 minute snow shower (Dec 2011) I saw in the previous 2 years between Jan 2011 and mid Jan 2013

Roll on summer and barbeques now and then back to snow chasing again next November

Light snow here currently, starting to lie on the grass and certain patches of the pavement!

[Su Campu]

That low-mid level inversion that eroded to allow the Irish Sea to spring into action 48 hours ago is set to return later tonight and stamp out a lot of the activity by morning. I would expect a lot more in the way of scattered stratcumulus tomorrow with maybe just the odd snow grain.

Amazing setup this week.

[markok]

snowing heavy here in lucan. everything covered. weird

[The Eagle]

Pats of Dublin getting a hammering atm. Some very heavy snow and settling steadily. However a certainty the cloud tops will start to get capped before morning and so less intense activity.

[The Eagle]

Continuous moderate snow lying generously and I am right on the coast. Shades of 2010.

[Earth Wind and Snow]

Light covering of snow here again this morning with grass and rooftops etc. all white - with flurries still blowing in the wind - wasn't expecting this as sky was clear and radar did not suggest anything for here when going to bed at 11am last night - obviously a few heavy snow showers arrived during the night

crazy weather considering Monday is 01st April
