    MOD NOTE

    This is a busy thread and as a result the Mod Team will be taking a zero Tolerance approach to trolling, flaming and personal abuse.

    Don’t say you weren’t warned!!

    And please don’t feed - report & let the Mod team deal with Troublesome Posters/Trolls


    Time to start a new thread as the other one reaches its capacity!



    I'm sure kermit.de.frog will add a forecast and keep it updated for us.

    So to kick it off a few mouth watering charts of the snow and cold potential over the coming days, stay safe.

    Looking very windy going into Thurs night and look at those windchill readings!

    Just watching the 9 news here, and I have to say the panic they are promoting is incredible. 'Stay indoors from 4pm tomorrow'. 'Dangerous blizzard' etc. Have we moved to North Korea?

    We are not used to blizzards in this country but as far as I know they are extremely dangerous to be out in as you literally can't see a thing and could easily get lost/hurt/in serious accident etc- they are right to warn people - its actually genuinely serious.

    Speaking of cold. Snowing pretty nicely again out here in Ballincollig. Temperature now -2.6°C, with a dew point of -4°C. And that big blob on the radar has yet to reach us.

    Good luck trying to figure me out. I haven't managed that myself yet!

    a snizzle shower here now, first one since 5pm.

    Radar is looking promising for South Meath to get hopefully a decent snow shower later.

    Good stuff! Normally south Cork gets nothing as it is too mild. Most unusual to have snow down there.

    Still all quite hear in Rush North County Dublin(apart from the howling wind). Haven’t had any snowfall in hours.

    Everything seems to be hitting slightly south of us(although we did get a hammering here overnight).

    Another huge shower in Cork City. The wind picks up in the showers and it's real blizzard conditions. The city will be totally shut down in the morning.

    Walked to work today because the roads in the estate were like an ice rink. It was fine early on when the snow was fresh but on the way home through the town it was so dangerous. Probably safer in the car!
