      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.

      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.

      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

      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.

      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 ?

      At this rate, the roof of my house will probably cave in from the weight of the snow!!!!
      That's a good point I think, I wonder what weight of snow would be necessary to collapse the average Irish slate roof...

      I'd imagine they'll want to take advantage of people looking for some blizzard drinks.

      North Kildare right now. That driveway was shoveled clear and snow taken off cars today with little snow on it at 6pm. Houses 7/80m away you can't see.

      These Cork lads have nothing.

      My father works in the CUH in Cork. Quick shoutout to all the nurses, doctors and maintenance staff keeping the hospitals running during this time. Many are camping in the Maternity ward there and a lot of have been booked into B&Bs and Hotels in Bishopstown.

      Yep, I'm in the coombe, was brought in Saturday. Staff are doing 24 hour shifts and sleeping in dorms. They are incredible. Enjoy the snow everyone and stay safe.

      How long is this expected to last, is it likely that this could run into next week?

      Anyone with a temperature check for the country? My barometer is frozen (no joke) it's like walking on a skating rink in the yard.

      Worried pipes will be affected.
