Why do people want huge amounts of snow?

They said on the news South Dublin could get a metre, it's been snowing all evening but it basically just rain it's not proper snow at all . I doubt we will see anything bar a few inches

I think we all need lessons on what rain is.

Sleet/snow mix in Dundalk has turned more to 'proper' snow in the last few minutes. Getting heavier too.

All calm here in Westport.

I wonder where are all the " this is nothing, sure it isn't going to snow at all and it's all media hype" merchants now?
Maybe they're all in Belmullet since that looks to be one of the few places that won't be buried have at least 20 cms tomorrow.
Also that guy from the Botanic Gardens with his Met ie contact?

forgot about him. Hope his daffodils are ok

Go out with a black jumper on and come back in and look at your sleeves, its snowing everywhere in dublin

Its very strange acting precipitation though, the ground is clearly accumulating in D14 (only by a little bit, mind) but the car outside my house which was cleared of snow earlier in the day is still snow free now.

Agreed its white but not convinced its snow!

Any idea when the big stuff hits Waterford city ? Steady flows of light sizzle stuff but nothing major ..

this light stuff is adding to the depth of the snow here in tramore and it seems to be at a faster rate than the streamers from the east.

The wind has really started to build here on the south Cork coast over the last 30 minutes or so. There is only a little bit of precipitation now but the wind is skimming off some of the 20cm of snow that was already on the ground and creating very interesting drifts around my house. It is like something from the movies. The howling wind is a bit eerie to be honest...

brief precipitation lull in Portmarnock... Wind still howling though

Dublin 12- went out for a walk at about midday and have been inside ever since. Bf has to work in the morning (prison officer, so no snow day) but I forced him to leave now and sleep there so he wouldn't have to drive at 7am tomorrow. Snow throughout the day was steady but light, didn't think there'd been much cover, but when he went out to clear his car we could see our deep ankle- high footprints from earlier had been completely covered. So excited to see what tomorrow brings (even though I'll be working from home)...defo sleeping with the curtains open tonight!!

Yea, funny thing about deep footprints being covered, that happened here too (stones throw from D12), but the overall measured depth of the snow decreased and there was only 0.5 cm of fresh cover on the cars where they had been cleared. Must be something to do with snow blowing around rather than actually falling from the sky during that period.

I wish people would stop calling them trolls. They are simply misinterpreting the precipitations fine nature, the water running down their windows and little to no accumulation as rain like literally 50 or 60 people before them.

I'm frankly fuming that after 3 hours of this ice pellet sh*te there is only a dusting on the road. I'll be lucky to have 4 or 5 cm in 24 hours if this ice pellet crap is all we get.

Thank you!

I do apologies if it’s not rain but it does look like rain on the window. Its more frustration cause there’s no build up of snow thanks to these ice pellets.

How far out is that big blob heading towards Leinster do people reckon? 90 mins or so?

So we can throw massive amounts of snowballs.

I just was out with the dog for 5 minutes, what hit my face and the window was 99% rain 1% snow

All day my car has been parked and it has about a half a cm of snow on it from the whole day

If it was 99% rain there would be nothing there. Rain melts snow.

Maybe we need an expert thread, a normal thread and a thread for beginners.

Light snow on the border between Tipp and Limerick, been falling now for an hour or two.

Very Disappointing so far. Missed out on all the streamers too the last 2 days

Just looking at powercheck and it looks like a good few places in Dublin are without power.

Because we won’t see it for another 30 years plus plus plus

Although here’s hoping it’s annual !

patneve2

Accumulations from 0cm on exposed surfaces to 10-20 cm where its drifting. Wild outside now but hoping the wales precip will bring flakier snow (dalkey)

I was keeping up to this page by page but it's moving so fast I can't keep up.

I'm in East Galway, good 6/7 inch snowfall so far and still coming steady, roads in sh*te. Red alert has been pulled back to 6am yet I'm sure I seen on 9 Rte news that nationwide red alert until 3pm but connection was giving gip. As a result of the red alert pull back my fella is expected to be at work at 9am tomorrow now, it was to be closed until the evening. If it continues like this he'll not get to work. MT's latest update puts East Galway at 20-40cm further accumulation, surely this warrants an extended red alert???

When is the major snow predicted to hit Dublin county?
