Dublin could be seeing action quite soon. Slight shift in trajectory of that streamer and some filling to the south of it...some intense echos too.

West Cork has joined the party. I feel like I have walked into a surprise party.If this is just a taster of whats to come. Well it might just be the best party ever.

The Clare womans verdict of the low on Thursday/Friday on RTE weather, no mention of rain, all blizzard conditions :P

PauloMN · 27-02-2018 10:32PM

Graupel here too, -1.2C.

piuswal · 27-02-2018 10:33PM

RTE 2100 News just used Science Correspondence Will Goodbody to try and explain what has given rise to this current weather situation. Got fixated on EMMA and forgot to mention the instability in the easterly flow,

He talked to Dr Kieran Hickey Climatologist UCC to add gravitas to his piece; started ok but got his directions of predominant Irish Weather mixed up,talked about usual weather moving NW,SW OR W !!!

Folks, please limit your number of refreshes. Only refresh the page after 5 minutes or so unless you are submitting a new post.

Every refresh makes a new demand to the server of all the information on the page. 5,000 people doing this at once makes the site unusable for everyone. yes it's exciting but please ration that F5 button.

Mods, apologies if this is back seating.

I have read this thread with great interest this week and I thank you all for the information and updates
Can I ask a silly question which really only dawned on me reading here ! Where do you get all the info about trajectory and wind shifts and cold air masses etc from ? Is it from a knowledge of interpreting information or where dies it come from ?

gabeeg · 27-02-2018 10:37PM

Here in Sth Wexford at nothing since 4pm

Have you much on the ground?

Itssoeasy · 27-02-2018 10:39PM

Michelle dillon seemed to say that the low below storm Emma will pass up over us on Saturday with warmer temps(well warmer for the next few days.

Jaysus munster could be getting a good fall of snow. My brother is flying out of Dublin Friday morning. I'd say that will be a fun trip up to Dublin.

Ah lads, need to figure out if I'll be going in tomorrow. Having my first drink for a few weeks and deciding if I should have a third haha.

In fairness, cans were in the garden and they were colder than the ones in the fridge! I ran out of room in my freezer and put 3 bags of ice out the back yesterday. They're still 90% frozen 36 hours later!

jds0ur · 27-02-2018 10:43PM

F5 being hit by 3000 people is killing boards!

Rebelbrowser · 27-02-2018 10:43PM

For Cirk snow earlier you could see its scale clearly on netweather but on met.ie it looked nothing. Will be using netweather from now on. More snow over se wexford now so if it hogs the south coast like last time more on the way here around 10.30.

MJohnston · 27-02-2018 10:47PM

Some thoughts as I walked out to our back office to do some work:

1. The back garden is absolutely lethal - the hail that fell at around 6pm has frozen into a pool of ice onto the concrete patio, and I can imagine the footpaths and roads everywhere will be much the same. Watch out, out there!
2. The nearly full moon is going to be a fantastic thing over the next few days if we get some heavy snowfall - it'll make all those night-time snow photos so much better lit!
3. Clouds have definitely shifted direction from 6pm when they were coming from more North of NE, now they're much closer to entirely east.

Also - please could people stop posting in the wrong thread, all the moving of posts is turning Boards into a spluttering mess.

Does this constitute Snowboarding ðŸ™‚!

Gonzo · 27-02-2018 10:48PM

not having much luck with the showers over past 2 hours, they seem to be going just to the north and south of me! Hopefully will have more luck later in the night.

Boards is barely usable right now, each time I click on anything it times out and i've to try multiple times.
