Oh it's coming

Nah, people are making it up.

Beautiful out there for a quick manageable walk before dark (North county Dublin). A few folks out, local roads are fine currently. So couple of local take aways are operating. If things turn as reported, I'm sure they will use their sense and be responsible adults.

Did you get rain?

Nope, just a few light shows of graupel now and again. Only a bit of powder left on the ground, most of what was there has either melted or has blown away.

April 2018 has been a total non event for me so far. I am really disappointed. Yes it might arrive eventually but it hasn’t yet in my location.

It's pretty much a non event for everyone considering it isn't April yet

What's HIRLAM? I keep seeing it mentioned here.

It's a high resolution model that forecasts the weather over 48 hours in 1 hour intervals.

The west / south west/ North west were never in the firing line. Hardly a flake in Belfast either.

Met Eireann should never have included these regions as far as a red warning is concerned. Yellow at best.

Wind not coming from the right direction.

Just vv light snow here in Dublin CC- nothing of note.

I’ll think I stop watching this thread for a few hours so I can avoid engaging the people who think they can judge a day long storm hours before it happens.

Maybe a new thread for people who have something to report?

Yes a thread in the weather forum called The NO weather thread, where people can just go on about how they havent got any weather, hours before any weather is forecast. Please mods do it. Its getting painful. Scary that alot of these people have the right to vote

25cm on the drive, 20cm on the car and 36 in the back garden here in Offaly !

So so sad. If we get through this in Ireland without a death then the red alert is more than justified.

No snow here but gusts really picking up. What snow is left on the ground is being picked up and blown around the place. Looks pretty impressive. Tipp/Kilkenny border.

Just for context - Kildare Co Co had 29 vehicles out gritting/ploughing today.

That might help you to understand the work going on by essential services to keep the country moving today.

My comment was in no way ridiculing the efforts by the emergency services who are doing a fantastic job . It was in response to a comment about germans moaning in the city centre

How did we do in 2010
For the guts of two weeks

That’s the joke. Have you gotten your sarcasm detector checked recently?

Could we have an "Instaban" for anyone who complains that it hasn't snowed in their back garden, especially for those complaining before the front has even been forecast to hit their area.

Can someone explain something for me. We’re on an exposed hill just outside Dundalk and I’ve been keeping my eye on the netweather radar, it’s had us completely covered loads of times yet nothing falling, today and yesterday.

Right now we should be getting a pelting, but it’s just windy and a few tiny flakes in the wind.

I don’t mind, just curious.

Is this becoming a non event ? It's not warm out but several people have text me saying that this storm isn't happening because the guy on TV3 is saying the same thing since three o clock and no update. Are they right for county cork ?

No snow in donegal town area at all, sun shining all day but cold, and brisk. Very light breeze. Nearly 6pm now and not one drop of snow:)

All the hype is fueled by social media. Shops packed buying bread and alcohol, you would think we were about to be hit by a hurricane. The reason I’m frustrated is that I have elderly relatives that could not access pharmacy’s or banks etc.

Snow becoming a bit heavier here.

+0.1C after a recent high of +0.3C

pathetic attempts to "snow" here in D16. Definate thaw in the last few hours. Way more lying snow yesterday. some blades of grass are starting to peep through in places again.

I know I've said it before but totally underwhelmed and fed up up to this point. major let down so far.

:rolleyes:

Well it has been snowing all day in North County Dublin so not non event here. We have been stuck in doors all day due to wind + snow. Dreading more snow + wind is already very strong. Count yourself lucky if calm where you live.

Same here - Dublin 16

Exactly the same measurements I got here just outside Kinsale. It is eerily calm here right now and the snowing has stopped - waiting for the wind to pick up! Reports of stronger gusts now in Wexford.
