Tomorrow and Friday will be worse.

All EI bar DUB/LAX are in the air. That's delayed three hours. So far. 18.15 departure time now showing. Tomorrow will be an awful mess.

Thats a pain, when things go wrong being able to hide out there and indeed get rebooked by the great staff is a lot better than the chaos outside

Presumably this also means that Eastbounds flights on Saturday will also be cancelled?

Hoping that ops get back to normal by Monday....

If you mean eastbound flights exUS on Saturday evening then they should be ok as the sat morning westbound flights will leave as scheduled. Some of the westbound flights originally scheduled to leave tomorrow morning also affected due to the eastbound flights not flying today (from the US) and so no aircraft in Dublin to fly back to the US Friday morning even if they wanted to.

A lunchtime update on EI website says they intend to operate a full schedule tomorrow. Don't know about other airlines. Still potential for disruption though. Snow still falling in North Dublin, however lightly.

Status Red weather warning prolonged until 9 a.m. tomorrow in Dublin and surrounding counties. Snowing heavily again in North Dublin and supposed to last. May well have an impact in the morning. The met office got the timing a little wrong.
