Only a Yellow warning issued for Cavan yesterday but we got way more than we bargained for

Super-Rush · 28-02-2018 02:45PM

We've had snow on and off since yesterday afternoon here in Carlow. Broadband services are down since last night and mobile signal is up and down.

Got about a foot and a half in total. I cleared the car this morning to try and go to work but i couldn't get out the driveway.

When the sun is out its melting a bit but the wind then picks up and its freezing again. Attached pic is from my car if it uploads.

I had always pinpointed Wednesday afternoon to be poor for activity in Dublin. A direct Easterly is no good for Dublin and Wicklow. Wonder will what is exiting Wales in the next while pep up, as nothing Irish sea created will pop up in lee of Anglessy for Dublin.

There is a lot of strength in that sun. No prolonged spells yet but cloud is breaking up and there's definitely thawing starting to begin. Winds are pretty locked in this direction till early hours tonight - hopefully we see something else before the front tomorrow.

Just watching the RTE news and weather. It seems that storm Emma is going to make landfall at about 4pm tomorrow where it will clash with the polar vortex currently over us, very strong winds with blizzards for almost 24 hours... the weather systems colliding over us.. it could almost.... be... a .....PERFECT STORM!!!

Slashermcguirk · 28-02-2018 02:46PM

Met eireann massively ramping up the snow accumulations from 4pm tomorrow until midday on Friday for Leinster and Munster. Massive snowfall expected and people not to be outdoors. For people experiencing any thaw right now, don’t think that will be for too long.

So much for the eagle and his rain prediction

Lot of melt today on surfaces despite the temperature currently at -0.1c. Hopefully more to come in West Clare.

We're getting it coming down quite heavy in Kinvara - it's probably coming your way!

rachaelf750 · 28-02-2018 02:46PM

Snow all day here

Time to go back to work!

Lenny5 · 28-02-2018 02:49PM

Patiently waiting here in Mayo for the snow. Hoping that tomorrow and Friday will bring the showers to the West. All weve got so far is tiny snow particles floating in the breeze.

Thank you very much but if I want to go out after 4pm tomorrow, I will and what's more I'll take responsibility for myself unlike a lot of 'snowflakers' we've bred in this country in recent years.

First flurry of snow has arrived in North Co. Cork near Mallow. 2.9c with intermittent sun

Over a foot fell in The Curragh. Melting in the sun.

Have only lost 3 cm due to the slight thaw,, sun has passed its highest point so you will see less of any thaw and things will start to freeze hard.
I am on the curragh also

harr · 28-02-2018 02:51PM

I wish this sun would **** off...melting all my snow and no sign of any fresh snow falls all heading in wrong direction..big thaw on now even with it being-1

Well maybe, someone should have a word with government spokespeople then and advise them to temper their advice.

No one gives a flying **** what you do.

Speak Now · 28-02-2018 02:58PM

Roches point reporting freezing rain -3. Strange one. It it automatic?

nacho libre · 28-02-2018 02:59PM

So can i ask what have been the snow depths totals so far? Has anyone recorded 25cms of snow at lower levels?

wakka12 · 28-02-2018 02:59PM

I never knew there was a place called virginia in ireland before this thread

Is anyone else getting tired of this ‘snowflake’ discourse? My father, who was a truck driver and certainly no ‘snowflake’, jackknifed his truck during the snow of 1982. It is perfectly sensible for Met Eireann to provide these warnings and minimize the risk of life and limb.

Artane2002 · 28-02-2018 03:00PM

I had around 15cm in Dublin 5 on the grass.

Probably the most amazing fact of this thread so far you have never heard of Virginia 😱
