Does look by the radar that things might be going more north easterly again

I can't understand why so many on this thread seem excited by this weather. Really odd.

Have watched the streamer over N.Dublin miss by no more than a km or two. Been under blue on the radar but nothing really fell at all.

These are the fine margins between getting a few cm and those up the road getting much more. Been very unlucky so far generally with alot of the snow trains just to my north - I'm sure later something will get going!

Dunnes stores tralee has just closed its doors. The full carpark then emptied in a matter of minutes.

Incredible scenes.

People literally running for their cars.

What's not to get excited about, we rarely get snow on the ground, might as well enjoy it when we do. My kids were tiny last time we had decent snow, and next time they'll probably be too old to enjoy making Snow Angels and Snow Men!

Shower train about 6 km due north of me. Confident I'll get a hefty shower in an hour or so

I lived in Austria for 3 years and am very familiar with snow. But to have 20cm snowfall outside my house in Cork (!), to have a few days off work, go for a walk along a country lane during the respite from the showers and look at some stunning views, to really see nature in action = all of this is pretty exciting imo but whatever floats your boat.

People excited by something coming they may only get to experience once in a lifetime. People, eh.

I know, I know, won't somebody think of the children. Hold on and I'll go ask mother nature to turn off the tap.

'Plastic Sheeting' on RTE 1 news claiming that the air from Emma is clashing with the Siberian air in Ballycotton!!

The ignorance annoys me... does he not realise the showers are part of the easterly Siberian flow. Emma is not impacting at the moment. Leave the forecasting to the experts. Every commentator on the National Emergency forum is now a meteorologist along with a lot of news commentators. Ridiculous!

Is this expected to happen? I can see clear skies out front and dark clouds out back, a marginal shift would do us!

I wonder is it a weather forum for weather enthusiasts?

Nooo! Would bring the Angelsea shadow into play and would be feck all for any of us, down with that sort of thing

It will chop and change a bit over the night. Hard to say when or for how long

The radar on NW is not correct. That streamer is a bit further north than it suggest. In Santry is just to my north.
