@Pangea You'll be happy to know donegal was just added to orange warning for Emma. Not the forgotten county anymore

This doesn't really make much sense, there is barely any snow here in Donegal, none setting anywhere Ive seen anyway and nearly all models show that Fridays snow will not be reaching this far north.

'Plastic Sheeting' on RTE 1 news claiming that the air from Emma is clashing with the Siberian air in Ballycotton!!

The ignorance annoys me... does he not realise the showers are part of the easterly Siberian flow. Emma is not impacting at the moment. Leave the forecasting to the experts. Every commentator on the National Emergency forum is now a meteorologist along with a lot of news commentators. Ridiculous!

plastic sheeting ??

Cheesus, the graphs over in the technical thread show this all reloading again after the weekend.

Heavy snow again with a strong wind. Nearly a whiteout in Dublin 5 now!

whippet · 28-02-2018 07:40PM

Still nothing but dust here all day on the south Louth coast ... plenty of passing clouds but just dandruff on the ground ... the kids are disgusted !!

arctictree · 28-02-2018 07:40PM

Amazing, very little snow in Roundwood. The showers seem to be missing us. -3c at the moment and a bitter wind. Right in the middle of lambing at the moment and no sign of good weather to put lambs out....

stephenjmcd · 28-02-2018 07:41PM

Anyone have any ideas on the outlook for South Dublin and Wicklow tonight ?

You should come down to Meath. Plenty of snow to build an army of snowmen.

Cork city snow resumed again but snow flakes bit heavier now and slower re motion wind direction in last 30 mins.Somes of the buses wont go up hill just flat roads etc. Made a bigger snowball out of these snow on the footpaths.

Just wondering if there is more to come tmw after 4pm??

Wouldn't mind knowing myself. Woke up this morning to a nice bit but nothing since.

Surprised that Roundwood escaped so much, then again very little in Bray too.
That wind though, it cuts.

Deaf student · 28-02-2018 07:45PM

I was thinking of the wind as they could shift direction re snow... just wondering that's all.

babyboom · 28-02-2018 07:46PM

Plenty of snow in Donabate. Showers on and off all day and snowing continuously for past 40 mins or so.

To answer your question (I think the two posts were deleted, sorry mods!), yes there is meant to be snow after 4pm and blizzard conditions.

Vxlks · 28-02-2018 07:46PM

I get it's hard to predict how much snow we could get but does anybody have a gestimate for how much South Dublin and wickow will get that night? Since met eireann said only 6cm last night and we got a lot more lol

Snowing regularly here from about 1pm stunning scenes

Is that from 1982?

igCorcaigh · 28-02-2018 07:47PM

Snow stopped in Cork, but possibly new shower coming in soon

you are on a site for fans of the weather

Each to their own no doubt and totally understand rare weather like this be fascinating for weather enthusiasts . At the same time, the impact a storm this severe (in Irish terms) will have on people around the country to transport , services and work etc will be huge. Thankfully I’m fortunate to be able to work from home but this is causing real serious problems for many people.

I saw one poster say “what is not to like” in reply to why they happy to see this weather which seems astonishingly detached from the realities of storm despite being abit of a weather enthusiast myself.

Snowing in Galway now

Try_harder · 28-02-2018 07:48PM

Walked though Tullamore Park to meet my dad, saw a guy dragging a sled up a hill his son behind him.

Stopped to talk; he’s Polish, used to this weather, but his son 8, never seen it, told him it’s been 36 years since we did!

The young lad bombs down the hill on the sled, his dad preparing to drag it back up again!

Nettle Soup · 28-02-2018 07:48PM

Great snow in Galway in the past hour. Must be 2-3cm. Worth waiting for...
