Streamers just taking a lunch break like ourselves.

The M.E. short range forecast chart (1100-2000) shows that lull and an increase in activity later.

M.T also stated about the lull

In Rathmines here. Definitely a thaw going on at the moment, roads a good bit clearer and no more cars wheel spinning. Roads just wet now rather than slippy. Pavements more slushy than snowy now too.

Traffic/people walking on snow causes that not a thaw. I am up the road in Rathgar and there is zero signs of any thaw.

From 4 pm tomorrow everyone in Red Warning areas are to be in their homes.

Rte reporting all dublin buses off tomorrow. Nothing on Dublin bus site yet

Brilliant update ongoing by Eoghan Murphy.

"Employers should bear in mind that all people in red warning areas should plan to be at home from 4pm tomorrow until 12pm on Friday."

Well he said a morning lull. This is an afternoon lull.

Shambolic handling only having the RED warning in place from 4pm tomorrow.

So in other words, people will be expected to be into work and once that happens, the majority of employers won't give a shite about people who have to travel a distance to get home by 4pm.

Tomorrow afternoon will be absolute chaos.

Dropped out to the mother's to see if she needed any help. She has a big box of salt/grit. I started spreading some on the paths around the house and she told me not to as she "was saving it". I said it's no good to use in June. All around the house is nice and clear now. I don't want to get a call telling me she has broken limbs.

I disagree.

People will now be expected to be into work and once that happens, it'll be every man for himself trying to get home for 4pm. There will be madness on the roads.

Sean Hogan: "People should not venture out of doors while the red warning is in place in your area"

No, don’t worry. The red warning is in place for the next 3 days so people won’t be expected to go in tomorrow morning. No Dublin Bus operating tomorrow.

hot buttered scones · 28-02-2018 02:11PM

Not only has it thawed a good bit here in Cork City northside, some of the roads are bone dry. Although as I'm typing this, the wind has picked up and there's a big black cloud blowing in.

Rapid thaw in bray. Anywhere in sunshine is nearly gone. Hopefully we get more tonight and over the next few days

Confused by this comment. Do you live in the Apartment Block on the mainstreet or something?? ie. I can see foot, road traffic and salting/gritting of same removing the snow on footpaths and roads visible to someone living up there and the South facing roofs of houses and shops near those apartments losing their snow and thus giving you the major thaw impression. However the promenade and grass is still white down here, as are roofs, gardens and Bray Head. Strand Road surface is clear/slushy and paths are that translucent grey slush alright though.

There are two red warnings for two separate events. One for the snow and cold and there other for a wind/snow event. Best to read the full warning.

Mullaghteelin · 28-02-2018 02:12PM

Significant thaw on the coast with the sun shining well now.
Kermit had been convinced there would be no thaw, but as a coastal dweller with many unhappy memories of easterlies past, Im surprised it survived until this late in the day.

RobertKK · 28-02-2018 02:13PM

The head of the national emergency co-ordination group said 'we have not experienced blizzard conditions since 1982'. Dublin hasn't but parts of the country did on March 31st 2010.
This is the problem with this country, there shouldn't be an ignorance to other parts of the country that did have blizzard conditions since 1982, Dublin didn't so we are told nowhere did.
This is not anti-Dublin, but anti-false statements.

First snow shower today in North Wexford, see how long this one lasts before the Anglesey shadow comes in again.

hahaha! You sure that wasn't 'the good salt' now? You know mammies... the good scissors, the good chopping board.. that stuff is never to be used. :pac:

Who do the government think they are, telling people where they can and cannot be

I have no problem with an advisory, saying that it might be wise to be indoors.

But telling people to do this is tantamount to Nanny State gone mad, quite unenforceable and therefore meaningless.

sdanseo · 28-02-2018 02:14PM

The tone of this warning from Sean Hogan is MUCH stronger than what was issued for Ophelia. Maybe just because he's done it before, but maybe also because they think serious impacts coming.

I did have very snowy conditions on 30 March 2010 though following on from a very wet day on the 29th.

Not the case. I am in a fairly rural part of Cork and there has been a rapid thaw of the snowfall we had earlier today.

Mobhi1 · 28-02-2018 02:15PM

Temperature's above freezing now @1.6/-5.5C and a good bit of sunshine and no more showers but I haven't noticed any thaw. In D11.
