    I've just noticed Wexford has been being upgraded to Red alert for overnight snow/ice. Does ME see something I don't? There's literally no streamer action south of Angelsey in the Irish sea on their radar.

    Just went out for a stroll around in Santry after it calmed down. Hadn't been watching outside much today but this evening when there was a blizzard, it didn't drop much snow, just enough to cover the footpaths which was kinda disappointing but ah well, more to come tonight and tomorrow!

    I heard somebody say the steamer was good for dub laoghaire to Wicklow, does that mean Dublin areas like rathmines rathgar milltown willl miss it ? Thought the streamer looked like it'd hit me :(

    I heard there’s lots of Steamers in Rathgar 🀣😂🀣

    I live in East Cork so it's much of a muchness which route I take. U'd be sick of the M8 anyway driving on it all the time to Dubin!

    I considered it but would the R693 not be a bit risky?

    Ok, the original question was to Cork city.

    R693 is fine. I travelled that road for quite a few years going up and down to Cork. With clear roads you would be in Urlingford in 20-25 min from Kilkenny easily.

    One of the posters in the technical thread mentioned that the heavy snow is finished for the week. Has Storm Emma changed or is the poster mistaken?

    No I think it's Belfast radar acting up, the view being impeded by the showers in between. Netweather radar doesn't use the Dublin radar, well the free version at least.

    My apartment is ‘fresh’ at the best of times to say the least! I know it’s really cold when I come home and it’s warmer inside than outside! :)

    Nothing in blackrock , Dublin. According to the live map it should be half way across south Dublin now

    Somehow it feels like south east Dublin is the worst place to be in the main snow zone during this spell , I still haven't witnessed heavy snow ! It happened while I was asleep last night but that's it

    He means in terms of the streamers coming from the Irish sea which is where our snow has been coming from so far. Nothing to do with the frontal event being caused by Storm Emma starting tomorrow afternoon - large snow amounts and dangerous conditions still very much on from this.

    My street in Turners Cross Cork is now completely unaccessable to cars. Im 28 and living in Cork City all my life and can only remember a proper snow maybe twice in my life, but this blows it completely out of the water, fierce exciting altoghether biy.

    He meant the last of the heavy streamers for now, nothing to do with the red warning for tomorrow afternoon.

    There will be light showers nationwide tonight. Tomorrow morning there will be a lull but showers will pep up before the 4pm event, where things turn up to 11

    We got a serious snow overnight but i thought Kildare and others were hit worse?

    Watching the dog in snow for the first time realising he could eat snow and then getting brain freezes was the highlight
