    Oh I remember 2010 so well, I lived in a old building on the north side of Cork as a student. No insulation and those old storage heaters. Delighted when Friday hit and was due to get the bus home. I was dreaming of the warmth that devoured you from the range when you opened the back door. Walked from the north side to the bus station in -6 as fast as I could, to find my bus had been cancelled. The walk back I'll never forget. I sat next to that storage heater in three layers of clothes all evening.

    Let's truly look out for each other and make sure no-one gets left outside.

    There were days here (south Sligo) were it didn't go above minus 10 in daylight and I found it difficult to breathe outside.

    I hope all those without a home find a warm haven.

    Looks like some nice beefy snow showers in south east england at the moment, southend airport for example reported moderate snow and a vis of 2000m at 7:20pm. Should be seeing plenty of that in the east tomorrow.

    Thats a lot of white gold in the English Channel right there. East coast of England looks to be snowing all the too. All the more reason to be excited.

    I can't wait for the snow streamers to start on the east coast tomorrow night and Wednesday,that should quieten the nay sayers a tad.

    East coast going to get a pasting.

    Much love from the west coast.Enjoy it!!! :)

    I wish everyone was getting a bit of snow, I know how bad it feels seeing other places an hour away posting pics of loads of snow . I guess many people are more mature than me and can be happy for others but it just depressed me :o

    The cold is definitely coming, - 10 yesterday in the part of Poland where my wife is from, - 24 today. I think that would make the uppers just over - 34.

    The snizzle hasn't really stopped here, been going on since around half 2. Now if we had this with the more favourable conditions tomorrow we'd be talking!

    Never used the ignore function before this evening. Getting great use out of it now! I can't be dealing with people who can't / won't understand sentences of more than 5 words.

    The fact that John Eagleton gave such a different forecast to Michelle Dillion poses a few questions about Met Eireann.

    1. Either there's a communications problem or..

    2. Forecasters are going it alone a little trying to out do each other as to who'll be right. Bit of factionalism within the organisation.. Possibly between the older and younger meteorologists..

    Schools will only be shut in red alert areas or where principals see fit if local conditions are bad enough to warrant a closure on health and safety grounds.

    Wednesday/Thursday/Friday look most at risk for any closures. Was speaking to two principals of two schools in the Naas Area on Saturday and they mentioned to me Thursday and Friday they may have to close because conditions are looking terrible. But as with the model runs this evening it is far from decided.

    I haven't checked the Met Éireann radar until now and I must say, it seems pretty accurate compared to Netweather. Netweather has shown no precip here all day. There are reports in Louth that nothing has fallen. It seems to be modelling the precip more accurately.

    Some areas possibly Wednesday aswell? If I can't get to work safely at 630am I will be keeping my 9 year old home in any case.

    OP forecast still stands. You're thinking of M.T Cranium, he has a daily forecast thread.

    Indeed much of the confusion (or ammo for trolls -depending on your perspective) had come from mixed messaging. The standard excuse that it's a constantly resolving situation doesn't cut it since two different forecasts went out at the same time.

    Whatever the cause, ME need to improve their quality control.

    From what I've seen I don't see this being as bad as 2010. It simply won't be wide spread enough. Locally, it might be as bad as 2010 but nation wide it won't come close.

    Its best use met.ie. They give the most balanced and realistic predictions.

    Depends where you live. If you're on very high ground you mightn't get out for over a week. Alright on main roads with snow ploughs etc.
