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!

Very severe weather by Irish standards, probably a normal day in Siberia.

Do they have red weather alerts for weeks or months at a time in Siberia, where people dont go outside ?

Did gaoith meant to say the showers would up the intensity instead of slack off..

No his point was the warmer the upper air at 700hpa the less instability, therefore less heavy showers from now on.

Yeah the most that we've had here is the odd small flake floating around, all grauple otherwise.

Agreed. Too much graupel for my liking. However, it will be proper snow when Emma arrives

16 hours anyway, at least. And it wont just be you!

I'm in Enniscorthy in Wexford and had very little up to now. On the charts I mentioned in my last post it's giving moderate snowfall for the best part of 24 hours.

The town is built on hills so there will be kids flying everywhere on sleds once everything settles down.

If it reduces the overall strain on those who must work through this spell, then it's worthwhile, in my opinion

oh its definitely worthwhile. If it means less people travelling after one of the coldest nights in the season, then its great. Thats what I meant by 'protect' part of my message. Aka at least people in the west etc know there could be some bad stuff when they wake up / tomorrow afternoon etc.

Here in Celbridge, my oil tank measure stick has been very handy. The deepest snow in my garden @ 11:30pm is 7 inches. Not too shabby.. Storm Emma hasnt even hit yet. At this rate, the roof of my house will probably cave in from the weight of the snow!!!!

Stay safe everyone and enjoy this freak weather anomaly tomorrow.

So bright outside in D18 Sandyford. Had some amazing showers about 30 mins ago and all the footprints and wheel tracks almost filled in. Freezing outside at -4.9c

Big means wet, dry and powdery for the win. Or least for the drift records tomorrow

Read the whole red snow/ice criteria:

"Significant falls of snow likely to cause accumulations of 8 cm or greater below 250 m AMSL. Slippery paths and roads due to accumulation of ice on untreated surfaces; situation likely to worsen."

Given the overnight lows of -7 or so throughout the Country, the second sentence applies even where snow might not fall again until late tomorrow.

true, I had forgotten about the ice aspect of it.

Bucketing down in Blanch again after a quiet hour!

On and off snow here in D4 for the past half-hour. Most of the surfaces that thawed earlier are covered again.

Edit: really heavy now!
