What info are they going off as they are changing it very often is this latest change due to Emma growing?

its due to the very unpredictable stance of Emma, its a very awkward series of events happening between the cold beast from the east and warm storm

George Lee has just said the Red warning will be extended to 18.00 Tomorrow in Leinster & Munster

May have been posted already but George Lee also said that today is the first and only ice day ever recorded in Ireland.

For the excellent knowledgeable posters on here. Given the direction of the storm, will the Wicklow/Dublin mountains act as a shield for the Dublin 16/Rathfarnham area?

Went quiet there for a while in Dublin 15. Now it's changed. We had bigger flakes of snow earlier. Now it's more light icy stuff. It's still coming from the east.
It will be interesting to see what Emma will deliver more snow overnight for us.

No the wind if north east. You will get the most snow.

A meter of snow for south county Dublin seems to be on the cards. Going to be a tough night. The flooding from this will be a mess as well.

It's really picking up here in Southeast Wexford. Heavy snow with some freezing rain, can't call it sleet cause it's more than that. Right now the Red Weather Warning is needed down here you just wouldn't be able to drive in this, or even walk.

Feckin lock down since 4 in the bloody afternoon in the southwest? Not a drop of snow the past 48 hours, sun splitting the rocks. Elderly people couldn’t access health facilities and banks?

Sun splitting what rocks. It 7 O Clock in the evening.

You have 10 posts in the last hour with the same idiotic message kiddo. Change the record.

The world doesnt begin and end in Limerick. There has been plenty of snow in Cork.

Until you invent some form of device that can predict weather to pinpoint at small village level, this is how it will be.

It's like ice crystals falling from the sky here in West Clare, very strange and sharp texture to them. Sticking to everything, sides of cars, metal gates, plants, rather unusual.

Freezing Rain explanation

Another explanation

What kind of accumulations can we expect in North Dublin?

I don't think its fair to call people reporting in rain "trolls" or to tell them they're simply wrong and don't know what they're talking about just because it doesn't fit in with a lot of peoples hope for a complete whiteout.
I'm hoping for the meter of snow in South Dublin we were just promised on the RTE news too but I'm telling you all we have right now in D18 is wind and RAIN

Same here, D16/Dundrum and rain currently.

Where in the southwest has the sun been splitting the rocks?

Limerick. It was a beautiful day today. Splitting the rocks probably an exaggeration, but it was sunny.
