Reports of thunder in Cork, can’t say I’ve heard it myself

Yip heard and seen in Carrigaline, Crosshaven, Myrtleville, Monkstown, Blackrock

Is their anything more we can get at this stage ... Its pumilling down snow too and winds in Carrigaline

At this rate and after yesterday, last night, today and tonight they will have to do an archaeological dig to find the town

Snow Lovers Winter Olympics

Streamer Irish Sea Dash: as expected the Eastern counties have dominated this event with strong showing so far from Dublin, Meath & Kildare but Cork are putting in a very late charge and could cause a surprise. Kildare & Dublin still look favourites to fight it out for the gold.

Emma blitz: the main event that everyone is looking forward to starts tomorrow evening with a real battle between Cork, Waterford, Wexford, Carlow, Kilkenny, Dublin, Kildare but every county in Munster & Leinster will fancy their chances. This could be the battle of the decade and could be a few records broken with this one providing some last minute jitters don't result in a complete flop which we know has happened before

Technical marathon - final event will start on late Fri/Sat and could be over very quickly or go on for a number of days. Very difficult to pick any winners for this as there's no previous form but the North & North west who dominated pre-qualifying over the winter might still have a surprise in store as they'll be disappointed with their showing so far

Note: Once again Wicklow have been disqualified from all events for breaching the >250asl limit

Hearing it over the last 45 mins due south of me down towards the coast. Midleton area.

Nothing here. I'd rather thunder than snow. And I used to live in Midelton. Thunder is awesome ! Swap ya.

Alright who found the snow shield generator and where is there an incinerator for is to burn it?

My daughter lives in Cork city. She is over the moon. Wicklow was to get plastered and nothing and she is basking in a winter wonderland and very happy to have outdone her ma in the snowstakes. And tbh i am delighted for all ye Cork people. The snowshield died a slow and arduous death and not before time!

Much more consistent and heavy here tonight than last night ( East Meath)

If I hadn't slid into a wall and written off my car this morning I'd be happier about this snow event. Now snowed in. Will post some pics tomorrow

Sky News just reported that this is the first time they have ever issued a red warning for snow.

Not sure how reliable that gem is, but if true, makes this exceptional.

Holy ****, you can barely stand outside in Donabate. Wind, snow & cold would cut you in half

Not good news for north Wicklow and south Dublin then, just as a few are slowly lining up from Wales now. What kind of reduction are we talking about?

When you say not good news for south Dublin do you mean we will get more or less snow than expected?

For the first time today we've had it continuous for more than 2 minutes! Lying snow is blowing everywhere now

Big blizzard in Thurles just now topped up the bit that melted in the sun earlier . Very cold.

Has there been a serious downgrade since the 12z runs?

It's been a rollercoaster with mad swings every 6 hours. I don't know what to expect for tomorrow anymore.

otherfrog

Looking online, it appears that there's a mass of lightning associated with the Storm Emma system off Portugal at the moment - will that continue when it hits us tomorrow evening?

Combined with snow and high winds, potential for disruption to electrical grid.

If that's the case then when Emma(named by the Portuguese met) does arrive. We will never leave the house.

Looking at the lighting out the window, ESB truck drove into my estate , lights flashing, he looked out his door window and Shone his torch up at me. Turned around and drives away.

Absolutely whoring it down in Shankill now, makes up for a sunny day today really.

Time for a hot whiskey and some Call Of Duty.

Starting to come down now here in Glenageary/Dun Laoghaire.

Wife in Rome, due back on the 19.45 from FCO tomorrow night, now cancelled. So booked her on the 11.15 in the morning instead.

Either, it gets cancelled (and next seat out of Rome isn't till Sunday) or it goes ahead and my suggestion of "ahh leave the car, get the bus to the airport" will come back to bite me. Nothing like arriving in DUB at 2pm and find there's no public transport.

If I go and collect her, and don't get back by 4pm, will the Gov have snipers out?

Few light flakes in Greystones now
