Feeling nice and smug at home now after having stocked all the presses and the fridge. Haven't said 'told you so' to the family yet, but they know. They know.

RiseToMe · 28-02-2018 12:02PM

What I don't understand is that this was forecast, plenty of warning for businesses. I made the decision that we would operate on the basis that we were closed for Wednesday to Friday and we worked accordingly on Monday and Tuesday and brought home what we could manage to work on. It's a laboratory, we need to be there to work, but common sense some first.

What's the south east looking like for today and tomorrow? So sunny here in Waterford now, you'd be fooled into thinking it's all over.

I'm no expert at all but forecasts suggest Waterford will have snow tonight, tomorrow and Friday.

I'll enjoy a blizzard when I see one, on Thursday or Friday.

davemc6832 · 28-02-2018 12:04PM

Donegal finally getting a mention on Met Eireanns warning, if only a yellow. Light snow blowing around in very strong winds.

................................ nearly blizzard like.

rsl1976 · 28-02-2018 12:04PM

Heavy snow now in Dublin 5

Your road looks much clearer, are buses running there? Our main road is still mostly white, no bus activity

So what's hitting overnight tonight then?
Continuation of the east one?

I'm a complete stranger to weather predictions, but from windy.com and everything else I've read, yeah tonight is just more of this, but Emma hits with a vengeance Thursday evening... Is that wrong?

irelandspurs · 28-02-2018 12:05PM

Portarlington, Laois getting hammered

Rooy · 28-02-2018 12:06PM

Decent snowfall in Cork City , southside anyway , we got about 2 inches here south of Douglas , roads look okay now , but some parks/inclines are going to be dangerous ,saw 2 crashes this morning exiting our park. Seems quite localised though with only 5 miles to north getting little /nothing , but that was fairly appartent on the radar as it skirted along coast , doesnt look like there is anything more showers though in the next couple of hours , temp reading here about -2c.

People are very loose with the word 'Blizzard' in this thread!!

This is NOT blizzard conditions or anything like it! You have several hundred meters of visibility for a start. It also doesn't seem that windy. Come back when you have 15 meters of visibility and have to disable the sound due to wind noise! :D

Noted. It was worse but I didn't record all of it. Probably still 30 m of visibility though at the worst.

Ludo · 28-02-2018 12:06PM

Sun out in Rochestown, Cork now and thaw setting in. Snow melting away. Not for long I guess though.

Same here, on my own initiative worked my arse off Sunday, Monday and Tuesday and got all essential work for the week done.

HighLine · 28-02-2018 12:07PM

Think MT should factor in the "Wales shadow" into accumulation estimates from Wicklow. Still nothing for Wicklow Town and not looking likely to change anytime soon.

joes girls · 28-02-2018 12:08PM

Please make this Sun go away it's melting my lovely snow

Oscar Bravo · 28-02-2018 12:09PM

You're pretty much on the money... Next 24hours really depends on where you are and then Emma will bring more widespread snowfall over a much large area*.

* still some uncertainty what consistency the snow will be in various areas. could be very wet snow on the south coast for example and full on powder inland. models and forecasters really struggle with that level of granularity.

Scubadevils · 28-02-2018 12:10PM

Snowing on and off all morning here in Lusk and adding to the overnight fall... I'd say by later today it won't be far off 2010 levels - so happy to experience this again!

peasant · 28-02-2018 12:10PM

Total blizzard conditions in Sligo...except that there's no snow:D

The icy wind cuts you in half though

John.Icy · 28-02-2018 12:10PM

Further north in Dublin are starting to do very well.

Clear shift in the wind again with the streamers beginning to move more East to West now. The m50 a mile to my North is the lowest limit of those heavy returns - so localised.

Will be interesting to see the Irish sea in 2 hours with realignment of thw streamers. Those who were in the IOM shadow could start seeing something falling.

B0jangles · 28-02-2018 12:12PM

Spotted a visiting Redwing in the garden

Gonzo · 28-02-2018 12:12PM

things looking better for me now with that IOM shadow shifting north a bit!

haven't seen any proper snow flakes here yet today, just lots of graupel and some thunder.
