Huh???

All the snow charts have the heaviest snow directly over Bray. Like we're literally the epicentre of it!

That snow chart you are looking at has us in the Blue 10-15cm Zone. The fact that the coast with places like Bray, Killiney/Dalkey, Dublin CC and Howth are in the grey is just down to the resolution of the graphic not an indication that the coastal fringes wont get snow.

That said, it could be hit or miss. The wind direction may shift to an ESE on Wednesday and the boys and girls in Meath and Louth get a crack at it.

Im a major Bray Snowbunny and I'm not worried.....yet!

Haha OK thanks. That's obviously what it is. You can only see grey along small parts of the coast obviously down to resolution.

The eagerness of some people for it to snow and snow heavily is very strange to me.

Im no expert, but many on here are, (blizzard7 is posting this morn - follow his advice until he tells you differently) and reading what they have to say, this is not correct and you should prepare for disruption at some point.

Not sure where the type of response you had to your post comes from.
Its frustrating as these posts come across as fact, they are in fact rubbish and dangerous

Aha I'm far from an expert! But yes definitely expect disruption in the east this week, it doesn't take much and we'll there could be quite a bit in parts.

Lots of people saying what they think will happen, which is fine if it's backed by any sort of reasoning I.e a chart to back it up - otherwise stick to the forecasts.

First few flakes appear to have arrived along our east coast, I think there will be enough strength in the showers for a dusting in some parts tonight. Showers making it a lot further inland into the UK than I would have expected.

Total novice here....but is that some nice convection kicking up off the Irish Sea on Sat24? Dare I say.... streamer potential?

2 years working in Eastern Europe with extreme winters (-30 at times and cars engulfed in snow) is my only reason for wishing for heavy snow, for that nostalgic feel..... Them feels

Got to love the armchair experts
A man said to me earlier "I hear the emergency team are meeting, its a joke, it wont be as bad as they are talking about, it will be bad in England"
If you say so.... :rolleyes:

It snows a lot more in Dublin especially the suburbs and that is factual. It is also colder in Dublin. Check the most accurate site in Europe for stats..the Norwegian site Yo.

I mean in comparison to London where it practically never snows.

I live beside the sea in Dublin 4, even in 2010 there was nothing for us to worry about, school, work closed, the shops were still open, its just fun for the novelty factor and seeing my kids have a bit of fun. However conscious that its a nightmare for farmers or people living in isolated areas and elderly neighbours
