MOD NOTE

This is a busy thread and as a result the Mod Team will be taking a zero Tolerance approach to trolling, flaming and personal abuse.

Don’t say you weren’t warned!!

And please don’t feed - report & let the Mod team deal with Troublesome Posters/Trolls


Time to start a new thread as the other one reaches its capacity!



I'm sure kermit.de.frog will add a forecast and keep it updated for us.

So to kick it off a few mouth watering charts of the snow and cold potential over the coming days, stay safe.

Looking very windy going into Thurs night and look at those windchill readings!

Cork was added to the red warning at 8pm per Met Eireann.

Just watching the 9 news here, and I have to say the panic they are promoting is incredible. 'Stay indoors from 4pm tomorrow'. 'Dangerous blizzard' etc. Have we moved to North Korea?

We are not used to blizzards in this country but as far as I know they are extremely dangerous to be out in as you literally can't see a thing and could easily get lost/hurt/in serious accident etc- they are right to warn people - its actually genuinely serious.

How does Pascal in Cork not know that Cork has been put in a red warning since 8pm tonight?!!

SleetAndSnow

New thread hype! Netweather showing quite a few heavy bands of snow heading towards cork city. This is great!

irishfeen

Just watching Pascal live on RTÉ News - the real capital covered in snow looks spectacular

South Dublin could be up in the next half hour / hour.

Finally! Migrated from Wicklow this morning to family in Sandyford to hopefully get more snow! Got to play in the stuff from last night, but need more for an igloo!

d'Oracle

What are those feckin flying yokes on the weather supposed to be?

redsteveireland

Absolutely hammering it down in East Galway, that streamer all the way from Wales has really delivered here.

thomil

Speaking of cold. Snowing pretty nicely again out here in Ballincollig. Temperature now -2.6°C, with a dew point of -4°C. And that big blob on the radar has yet to reach us.

Looks like Cork City is about to be hammered:

Hang on to your snowmen!

Been waiting for this shower in South Dublin for sooooo long... think I'll have a nice bubble bath instead while listening to The Blizzards.

Slight downgrade on the update after the 9.00pm news?

I hope I have put enough snow around mine to keep it standing! Back to lamppost watching it is!

Gonzo

a snizzle shower here now, first one since 5pm.

Radar is looking promising for South Meath to get hopefully a decent snow shower later.

Balmed Out

Bones of a foot of snow, third powercut in two days. Clonakilty, Cork. Snow here is very fluffy not easy to build a snowman

Wicklow waits for the beast. All we've gotten so far is wind

It will always be there.

At the end of this event we will merge or link all the threads.

Good stuff! Normally south Cork gets nothing as it is too mild. Most unusual to have snow down there.

_Whimsical_

Orange warning reaching a far as Galway now! Is that for wind or snow associated with Emma?

The 4th graphic in the OP looks like bantry is goin to be -78 :pac::pac:

adox

Still all quite hear in Rush North County Dublin(apart from the howling wind). Haven’t had any snowfall in hours.

Everything seems to be hitting slightly south of us(although we did get a hammering here overnight).

Another huge shower in Cork City. The wind picks up in the showers and it's real blizzard conditions. The city will be totally shut down in the morning.

-2 in Sherkin but only rain. Poor langers.

Walked to work today because the roads in the estate were like an ice rink. It was fine early on when the snow was fresh but on the way home through the town it was so dangerous. Probably safer in the car!

Mr.Boots

The small amount of snow we did have has blown away lol

i got a pair of those grips you can get for shoes, worth every penny, can basically ignore the ice effect
