    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.

    I'm not talking about the red warning, more the orange that manages to encompass most of the surrounding counties but doesn't mention Limerick. Would have been nice to get some sort of heads up.

    If people took the HIRLAM seriously like myself and Weathercheck were yesterday... it's exactly as predicted.

    'Light low drifting snow' being reported at Dublin AP at 0800.

    Not often we see that in Ireland (with our usual wet/sloppy snow).

    Snowing again in cork city. Oh Christ.

    snowing here in clare. We are quite high up, the snow is fine but is laying. I wouldnt drive in this but himself will. I hate snow guys...... hate it :(
    Kids loving it though so I suppose I should just smile.

    Nothing has irritated me more than all the people online beatching about the people buying bread or preparing. Honest to god. Or those that are like its only a bit of snow lads. Since 2010 I remember the fear when himself has to drive from Galway to Sligo and back.... took 8 hours more than it should have and he witnesses five car write offs. In a back wheel drive bmw etstate.

    If the snow is lying like this here in Clare and we have two more days to go of it then i do worry for some of the older people in this area who have little country cottages , no gritting. I hope they have enough fuel. Round thes eparts people bake their own bread. Stay safe anyway..... I wont be leaving the house until it goes. x

    Indeed. 8 to 10cm fell here in Kinsale and it is starting to snow again. Reports on radio of trucks stuck on local roads.

    Not a stitch in Newport, Mayo. We weren't expecting any but were hoping for a surprise pasting.
    A few days to go so hopefully we'll see a bit.

    For the rest of ye, enjoy yer snow ye lucky feckers :)

    Is the main event due to arrive Thurs and Fri?


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,030 ✭✭✭Slashermcguirk


    Eh, there is in Raheny!

    I am on the coast beside raheny and no thaw. Far too cold. Seems impossible if it’s -2 degrees


  • Administrators Posts: 55,061 Admin ✭✭✭✭✭awec


    So is there to be more snowfall in Dublin?


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 126 ✭✭Aruba08


    Waterford city is beautiful and so was that text from work to stay home. All white. I have been a fly on the wall for the past week here and my heart felt thanks to all who are so passionate, warned us and got it right. I don't understand the graphs and charts but you all explained it so well. I am prepared because of here. Stay safe and warm every one

    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.

    Are you super cereal?

    Yeah, you’re right, I thought there was thaw as the snow was melting off my neighbors conservatory roof, it must be the house heating. Panic was setting in there.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 9,786 ✭✭✭wakka12


    There's a 1cm thick layer of ice under the snow in my area from when a graupel shower kind of melted and then powder snow fell on it ! Dangerous driving conditions I'd say
