Severe Weather Snow / Ice Weds 28 FEB ( Onwards ) ** READ MOD NOTE POST#1**

M.T. Cranium

I don't think any trends seen so far on models would cause more than a slight change in forecast snowfall amounts, at least not from my own earlier forecasts, can't speak for anyone else's forecasts that you might have heard and how it would impact them. If the beast is a bit stronger and Emma a bit weaker, it could be a net gain for snowfall in some parts of the east (more sea effect in the mix and less opportunity for taint).

Think I just heard snow kamikazing off the roof I think. Hash browns or out with the camera....

An utterly disappointing spectacle out the window here in Carlow town! Nothing much of any consequence has fallen, a bare dusting of fresh snow! :-(

italodisco

Nothing but wind here in Dublin 3.

Met eirean were wrong

taytobreath

so emma has lost her battle and we could see more easterlies when emma starts to weaken further

Update
Tomorrow

Snow showers on Saturday will gradually turn back to rain or sleet through the day as temperatures improve slightly; highs of 2 to 5 degrees. Northeasterly winds will have decreased a little but will still remain strong and gusty.

At this stage amounts here near Arklow are stupendous and it’s coming down heavier than ever

Pangea

Still nada here in Donegal

Happy for everyone who got snow. Got a decent bit in rathfarnham but I hope it's all back to normal by Monday.

Did it blizzard at all in D14/16.
I went to be early so missed if we got any heavy stuff but their was definitely some accumulations

erica74

Holy moly!! Woke up to a load more snow this morning in South Kilkenny. I'd say about 2 inches fell since around midnight last night. Quite windy out. Emma still quiet enough though.

I suspect that, because Emma has been a bit delayed, people may think that there's no need to heed the warnings any longer so I think it would be important for the government to make an announcement in that regard, urging people to continue to stay indoors until the end of the red alert.

Looking out the window in Thurles. Looks like we've dodged the storm so far.

Starting to pick up a little bit here, hopefully we can get a burst heavy enough to give a few more cms

Mr Bumble

Still full on blizzard in Delgany....been doin g this for six hours and no sign of any let up

Liffey4A

Nothing of any significance fell in Dundalk.
Very windy though. Gust of over 100 kmh

Everything is falling here at the moment just by N25 in Castlemartyr, Snow,Snow Pellets, Sleet,Rain. Right battle going on. Snow accumaltion on the ground is at the highest it's been since this started, historic event happening if this isn't going to let up for hours.

D9: really disappointed. Doesn’t seem like any new covering. Same bare patches still on footpath outside. Don’t understand. Did the storm just bring wind not snow in north Dublin?

Yeah virtually zero in north Dublin. Once it’s bright I’m heading out.

DOCARCH

Holy cow! Lots of snow in Dublin 16! 27cm, on the level, with deeper drifts.

Still snowing but appears to be quite wet snow.

_Dara_

Couldn’t sleep! Snow has finally stopped here in D15. Defo seems to be a bit of a thaw happening.

PirateShampoo

Jobstown/Citywest it's absolutely ****ed here. Easily got there 100cm in sheltered places. Can't see out of anything of my windows due to snow stuck to the glass.

ardinn

Im just going to bed - an impromptu session started in the pub - up to 4 foot drifts, I never thought id see it but I couldnt find my door when I got home - A 6.5ft wall of snow fell into the hall! Anyone driving around here before the council tractors are out will get into serious trouble - the drifts are enormous!!

RobertKK

A snow drift decided to form right outside my front door. I had brought the shovel in to dig out.

6.5 feet of snow. I think you could have had 1or 2 too many drinks my friend

McMurphy

Woke up to pure madness here (between Naas and Blessington)

Howling gale hasn't relented one bit since going to bed, still driving snow and well over a meter in height were the drifts have accumulated.

I'll try getting better pictures when there's day light - these'll have to do in the meantime.

Check out the kids scooter which I've ringed.

When is it due to stop? Cabin fever has me in its grip now.

Edit

Site won't let me attach pics

Emma was too harmless a name for a decent snowstorm. Needed a greek/roman femme fatale name for a true record breaking event.

Bit of a damp squib tbh.
