    Netweather radar isn't picking up any of the current streaming affecting the lower half of Dublin - a quick check on ME and there is plenty on the way!

    I was just looking there and see nothing approaching Lusk... planning to call it a night on that basis. Might still set my alarm for 4am though and see how things are going.

    What, all the congratulations and well wishes from Dublin posters? :confused:

    Era it's the minority as usual making the majority look bad, but the knobs that basically said we were all overexaggerating as it's snow that Dubland regularly gets 😖

    Is the snow from Emma expected to the powdery snow? I was thinking it was gonna be the wet snow since it's coming from the south , but then again it's actually meeting the colder air so if it's powdery snow then it's even better

    Powdery because of the east wind - but I could be corrected

    This is all overhyped.
    It's sunny out here and I just went for a jog.
    My employees will be coming in tomorrow.

    Ah, I remember them days.

    Netweather (free) radar is terrible for Dublin today (pro version seems a lot better). Wales radar keeps going offline, Belfast radar can't see properly past any heavy showers between Belfast and Dublin, and the accuracy is off by a few km. Best to stick to Met.ie radar for position and only use netweather as an extra guide.

    Windows are covered in snow here now. I’m speechless watching this. This is a fckin blizzard!

    Haha same, I tried to get some video of this but it's pointless with my phone.

    This is going to lead to big drifts surely?

    It's falling sideways and fast so it doesn't seem to be settling on car roofs at the moment.

    Alarm set, ready for a morning walk in the snow in Cork. Incredible scene outside, in the city. Never seen it like this, really is astonishing. I know it wasn't exactly forecast, but we knew snow was coming so fair play to the lads in the know that post here. I've learned a lot the last few days and enjoyed looking on here. Goodnight.

    It will be settled in a more gentlemanly manner. Rulers at sunrise.

    Gonna call it a night here, been snowing pretty much non-stop since 5pm in North Kildare, around 14cm on the level when I checked a few hours ago with drifts over 30cm so if this keeps up all night then there should be some nice totals by morning

    Low enough.

    Wind is enemy #1 to power lines. Snow can only take them out by overloading trees which is less likely.

    That and ice loading can add extra weight to the conductor and pull down poles and insulators etc.
    Also the conductor contracts in cold weather so in effect becomes tighter which can cause overhead lines to snap when the extra ice weight is added on.
