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

Creative83

The strong easterly winds will steadily ease on Friday night and temperatures will be below freezing once again, down to as low as minus 3 degrees but lower over lying snow. There'll be a mix of snow, sleet and rain in the south with further snow showers along eastern and northern coasts. There'll be breaks in the weather but it will remain rather cloudy.

There'll be some brighter weather on Saturday with dry spells developing. The fresh easterly winds will ease for a time but it will remain cold with temperatures from only 1 degree in the east and up to 4 or 5 degrees in the west, coldest over lying snow. The temperatures on Saturday night will be very low again, down to minus 5 degrees.

There'll be rain, sleet and snow showers on Sunday and Monday along eastern and northeastern coasts with temperatures still very low for the time of year as the easterly regime persists. The winds will gradually ease, becoming light by Monday.

The further outlook in to next week is for the cold conditions to persist with light to moderate east to northeast winds and isolated wintry showers.

Judging from this met.ie forecast the East could be in for snow into next week :O

Really? I have was up with the baby multiple times and it was hammering down every time with limited visibility during gusts. Still the same now. Are things that localised? I'm in the Whitehall/Santry area.

Snow can be. I suppose Dublin is a big enough area. Where I grew up in the west would really highlight how localised snow can be. From plenty of snow to a dusting a few kilometres apart. Even being on a pretty low hill can make a big difference.

Haven't got to look at the charts yet as my phone is acting up but does Emma still have enough strength to get up the east coast past Dublin ?

Effectively none in Donegal, as predicted. But should get some tonight.

Fingers crossed. Charts are mostly showing it not reaching us. A couple of charts have it getting this far north. We’ll see. Not a flake so far.

Nothing much in North cork, thought it was starting last night around 11 but nothing since - very disappointing!

Lovely covering in Athlone, about 7/8 inches of snow and blue skies....bitterly cold though.

How Strange

Bitterly cold outside Roundwood this morning. It's been -6 here regularly enough over the winter so I'm guessing it's more than that although weather app is saying -4.

Where is the snow? We had more than this in early December. I know I should be relieved but I feel a bit cheated. The roads are totally clear too which is bizarre as we can get snowed in when there's no snow anywhere else.

How is Leitrim/sligo area? Husband has to go from Cavan to Sligo for work tomorrow.

"The intensity of snow will likely be somewhat less impressive than yesterday with 5 to 10 cm further amounts."

Why are we hearing about blizzards and warnings from 4pm when MT is saying today will be less impressive . What am I missing here with that forecast ?

MT has broken the possible snowfalls into sections/time periods...you need to add it all up!

Just wondering what people make of this? It’s the Dark Sky app which I have no idea if it’s well-regarded or not. If the temperature goes above freezing, could we have rain instead of snow?

joes girls

Woke up to unreal cold in our house, never feels that Cold in this house before.

Real feel-10

It's actually in effect now! As of 2300 yesterday.

Yes, apologies, you are correct. The west will still be affected later. I think it's wise to close the schools.

I totally get your disappointment but you’ve just been unlucky.

Some models want to leave Dublin out of the situation tonight, probably good coz there’s already nearly a foot here.

Far more snow here than in 2010

I interpret that as during the early part of the day, before the evening snowfall

Fairly pelting it down in celbridge at the moment. Winds strong enough and have been pretty much all night. The snow we used in the garden to build the mega snowman named ted by my 4 year old has now been replaced. Drifts in some places too.

No snow tomorrow and I will never mention the word snow in my house again until its up to the window cills. Extremely disappointing for the kids.

No 1 rule I learned at the knee of my own mother. Never ever suggest to children that anything at all is going to happen tomorrow, indeed, dismiss any rumors they may have heard completely out of hand.

Despite plenty of heavy and driving snow overnight in my location - very little added to accumulations. In fact there's a few cm less out back now than there was yesterday evening. It's just all blowing away!
