-2.9c and light drifting here in West Clare, snowfall picking up intensity now but is still quite light.

We have a 200mm snow fall, 300mm in drifts. (Wicklow/Kildare border) and more snow being dumped on us now.

Not impressed with Met E in regards to the south of the country, particularly Limerick. We are not included in any of the warnings active at the moment, but we are also waking up to the white stuff this morning??

The red alert is for what is to happen (not what has already happened).

Fine. In 24hrs and 48hrs I'll reply and it'll still have been an overblown warning that was never in the league of a red alert.

Not much more snow over night for me(Southeast wexford) but still have every bit of Snow that fell yesterday so it's lovely and white out.
Our schools are closed, buses won't run. I wouldn't drive in it anyways.

Big dumping of snow here in Deep South Roscommon, was not expecting this, never seen snow as powdery before. Rang the lads, everyone off work.

Deank · 28-02-2018 09:02AM

Similar to other posters, just shy of a foot of snow here near Mondello, Kildare

Ah johnny, the snow up against a wall is a drift;)

Donegal Storm · 28-02-2018 09:02AM

Loads of snow here in North Kildare, only around 1cm when I went to bed but a good 7 or 8cm this morning at a guess so a nice surprise. Still coming down now so should be a fun day ahead

Criteria for a red alert is defined...once the criteria are met, a red alert is issued.

Good for you. Can we've the lotto numbers too?

Finally some action in Wicklow.

Work just emailed saying don't come in so that's a relief either way.

Can relax now and enjoy this thread

Nothing that has happened until now justifies a red alert, the alert if for what is going to happen. Righty or wrongly I guess they expect today won't be as bad in Limerick as in other parts fo the country.

Yes Wexford orsnge warning seems over the top , while inland counties should have been included
