    Must say I have found accuweather extremely accurate for Gorey over the last few days. Each hour they have gotten spot on pretty much

    Are they well known for their accuracy?

    That's funny because they've gotten it completely wrong where I am

    Anyone else getting a tad despondent? I know what's forecast and not trolling. The wait is just killing when you look outside and there's nothing happening. (southside, Cork)

    :(

    Yeh I just can't start to get my hopes up about a metre of snow supposedly going to fall in my area until i start seeing big heavy snowflakes

    The auld fella is infront of tv all day watching crap like tipping point +judge rinder on tv3-2 or what ever its called. He switched over to watch the news special on rte but switched back after 15mins, said nothing hapening yet.
    I wanted to watch the 6 o clock news he says its same as before +wudnt switch channels at at!
    Was the same attitude during Ophelia +the other winter snow+storms, totaly oblivious to whats goin on!!

    I think we were in the same house and share a parent!

    it was all supposed to kick-off at 4pm, looking like it will be 10pm before the main event starts, that's quite poor forecasting from the weather authorities.

    Red alert warning probably saved hundreds of lives

    ME blamed for the deaths of hundreds of people for not warning the country

    its like the clouds are not letting the moisture go, just yet :pac:


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 3,039 ✭✭✭Call me Al


    Right now we don't have snow as such (Meath/Kildare border). Rather it's like snizzle being blown around the place, and lots of it. Still perishing cold though.

    I like that met.ie doesn't even have an image to describe the stuff that's falling.

    Yea. Kids are very disappointed. Feck all happening here.

    Tis tough out. Living in Passage West, so judging by radars thought we would be getting a pasting by 8pm, am hour later still absolutely nothing. Following this for last 2-3 days so the disappointment is real, trying my best not to be pessimistic and to trust

    RTE news now- things could change very quickly overnight- Kilkenny specifically mentioned.

    6 inches of snow forecast for cork


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 1,576 ✭✭✭patneve2


    Already close to a blizzard here on the coast. Really coming down in sheets. Cant imagine what conditions may materialise later. A marvellous but dangerous night

    So are we waiting for darker colours to be the snow .. I must say Waterford is picking up a bit more now still very tiny crystal like but wind is adding a bit to it I just can't wait to see the snow now again ha

    Plastic sheeting in Cork City there on RTE and it's starting to get heavy snow.

    and if the weather system sped up as it very easily could have done and the heavy snow came at 5pm rather than 9pm, YOU and people like you would be whining that not enough warning was given.

    I've a business - we closed yesterday and we'll reopen Saturday. It was nigh on impossible to get to it yesterday (kildare). I'm not risking staff safety for the sake of a few hours trading and I'd rather err on the cautious side.

    Then for your area the red warning was justified.

    Where abouts you based? I'm south-ish and nothing all day
    In fairness I can see the Galtees so closer to east than mid-Limerick.

    Do you not already have plenty of snow? :pac:

    RTE news now- things could change very quickly overnight- Kilkenny specifically mentioned.

    Pascal talking about people who've decided that because it's not yet snowing they are venturing out to the puib.

    Warning started too early. Issued correctly based on guidance, but should have been revised to 6pm or 8pm. No matter that businesses were already closed, it would still provent complacency.

    same showing for waterford.
    Are they ice pellets if they float about like snow flakes?

    Starting to snow heavily here. (Newmarket Cork)


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 8,261 ✭✭✭Gaoth Laidir


    Very fine snow grains feel like sleet because they melt instantly on your face due to their tiny mass, giving that wet feel.

    In the last 10 minutes it has started to snow more heavily here on the south Cork coast.

    I don't know where you are but they said several hours ago in a forecast that it would hit dublin around 9.
    Its not snowing heavily yet but the winds are extremely strong so obviously the storm is here or nearly at least

    And people in wexford have been reporting strong wind and heavy snow for several hours now

    You'd need goggles out there, horse.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 41,028 ✭✭✭✭Itssoeasy


    Well it looks like snow is failing in cork city on the south mall on the news.


  • Banned (with Prison Access) Posts: 7,611 ✭✭✭david75


    Just went to the shop. Normally a 3 or 4 minute walk. Wind is totally squalling and comingl at you in every direction. You can’t keep your eyes open, Way more like millions of tiny bits of ice attacking your face, deffo not graupel. Took about 10 minutes
    Felt like tom crean:)

    This in d7/Smithfield
