    When can we expect the first bands of substantial snow to reach the east coast?

    Pretty much constant fine snow here Firhouse Dublin mountains base......wonder if it'll continue or tail off!

    The wind direction over the Irish Sea is becoming more favorable from now into tonight so it should continue and get a little heavier in the Dublin region, theoretically at least. I wouldn't expect much accumulation tonight though, maybe a dusting in places.

    Will the normal Bus Eireann runs be cancelled in a red alert? I'm not talking about school runs.

    Am I correct in saying this headline is incorrect and its more of an interaction?

    The easterly cold spell being the "beast" and a frontal system from the south being "storm emma"?

    Was listening to Evelyn Cusack on RTE Radio 1.

    She mentioned the bulk will happen Thursday and drew attention to the potential arrival of Storm Emma from the Bay of Biscay / Portugal. As a result of the arctic air, the precip from that storm will fall as snow and will produce blizzard like conditions with zero visibility.

    Better not dress the kids in white and send them out to play so

    It looks a right mess. Hard to see graphics for Ireland on it.

    There was a small few around 2 o'clock when I was heading back to work. It didn't last long though.

    The headline is ok, but I agree the first bullet point is inaccurate.
    'Beast from the East' named 'Storm Emma' as weather warning elevated

    As you said it's the interaction between the beast and Emma which will cause disruption.

    Just got a slightly heavier burst there, very very slight accumulation on cars and roofs. Things starting to shape up nicely. Going to take a nice long break from weather watching for a few hours now

    It's Dew Point, what point rain/percip turns to snow. The dew points are so low and getting lower I don't think you'll need to worry about them for a few days

    The Portuguese named this one as it originated near them they got naming rights, or so they said on the bbc earlier.
    Its not one of our storms so not in our alphabetical order, E was next in theirs though.

    Why would they go and change the name from the brilliant "Beast from the East" to Storm Emma? Real scary name there :rolleyes:

    I don't know where in Dundalk people have been seeing snow - I've been watching my window all day and there hasn't been a single flake! Hopefully I'll go home from work and find that it was all over there : )
    Where are you? I'm at DkIT, it's been trying to snow since about 11. Far too little to stick though.
