    Starting in Shankill, first we’ve seen on falling snow since the early morning. There was a good thaw on the roads but they look lethal now.

    My apologies if this has been asked already/is a stupid question, but, with storm Emma, what are we to expect wind wise? Is it normal storm winds with snow added into the mix? Or will the snow affect the wind?

    I'm in south Roscommon and it's pelting down the last 20 minutes!

    I think wind blown snow is the general effect.

    On the local radio down here, emergency services enroute to Portarlington. 2 brass monkeys in a bad way it seems. Sever frost #theworst and Artic wind (they'd been thumbing).

    Apologies for me spelling. I used to work for RTE

    Blowing a gale here (East Meath). Heavy graupel shower just now. Layer upon layer of graupel today but it's all piling up.

    the town with no BREAD, MILK OR SNOW 😭😭😭😭😭😭😭

    Wicklow is the same. The angst on social media would put me off weather watching. However i will persevere as i see a streamer making its way towards me on the radar...

    There's been a serious sump of snow over Cork City in the last while. My street is now officially inaccessible to cars the road has about 1ft of snow on the surface.

    N76/N24/M8 or N77/M8

    M9 is a bad option because of snow on N25 both sides of Dungarvan

    Why would anyone ever take the M9 to Cork from Kilkenny? It's nowhere near the most direct. Clonmel route isn't great either. Go to Urlingford via Freshford and take the M8. When the roads are clear it's just under 2 hours.

    I don't understand how I'm getting away so lightly (so far). I'm 15k north of Cork city and 200m above sea level. We'd get snow a couple of times a year when the city would be bone dry.

    I originally posted that in the technical thread but it was moved here. A knowledgeable poster is saying that we've seen the last of the intense showers for the rest of the week and I was curious what has caused the sudden change in weather conditions.

    Nice heavy shower had made it all the way across Ireland and was about 20km away from West Clare, when it just died a very sudden death.

    The joys of this weather :)

    Still a scattered accumulation, the wind here has removed alot of cover from some areas and deposited it in other areas, so depths are all over the place, ranging from 6cm to near nothing. Still alot more than I expected!

    Currently -3.4c now and no more drifting because everything's absoultely frozen solid.
