Just looking at the IR Sat imagery, Emma seems to be pretty East, just right next to France. Wonder will it start moving in a North westerly direction soon. Thoughts?

Was wondering this too. Looks way too far East no??? :pac::o:eek:

The snow is falling more consistently where I am tonight than last night. And, as a result, there’s a greater accumulation. Can’t wait to take photos at daybreak - if I awaken!

Must be approaching 30 cms here now.

Same blizzard (and it is a blizzard) over and over again. Pure snow, no graupel.

Where's here Kermit?

Burst water pipe here.. Dublin 6. Sorted for now but I did not think it would be that cold!

Ich bin ein snowman · 01-03-2018 04:29AM

Insane conditions on and off here for the last few hours! (North Kildare)

fritzelly · 01-03-2018 04:29AM

Some lovely snow in Dublin right now, footsteps are covered up as quick as you make them

Ye it's -6 and with a lower dewpoint it can freeze faster

ThaitaniumM · 01-03-2018 04:35AM

Starting to see some cumulus clouds. Something is brewing from the south.

sunbabe08 · 01-03-2018 04:40AM

watching the radar, something is brewing to the east of cork, if it would just moved inland.

OneEightSeven · 01-03-2018 04:41AM

Only 8cm in Ashbourne. The streamers just keep grazing us instead of passing directly over us.

redsteveireland · 01-03-2018 04:43AM

Double snow days! Work just text to say they are closed for 2 days minimum.

Mullaghteelin · 01-03-2018 04:44AM

Theres a small patch near the back door thats slowly thawing. Its niggling me.

Otherwise a constant blast of wind, snow swept airborne in smokey clouds, fast moving snow showers on and off, and an occasional glimpse of a spectacular moon.

You need to move, but in time for the next freeze

Re comments about position of Emma, what you see there is the frontal system out ahead of Emma, the centre of the low is off the northwest tip of Spain but these fronts will be the source of most of the moisture for the snowstorm, once they come more into contact with the strong east to southeast winds across the Channel and southern England at present.

Will be posting thoughts on GFS on technical thread in a few minutes.

Holy Jesus lump on balls Christ this is awesome! (and not the US gombean definition)

Blingy · 01-03-2018 05:23AM

Nothing to see in Greystones

Envious of ye and your blizzards.

KingBobby · 01-03-2018 05:25AM

How come the radar on accuweather and yr.no show completely different areas of precipitation to met.ie radar?

(I'm too lazy to get up and just look out the window)

Lovely snow shower here in West Clare just ensuring the place has a covering before morning, beautiful! Good 2cm from that shower alone.

Chrongen · 01-03-2018 05:31AM

Christchurch Cathedral tonight.

Spooky:

Lost for words with the snow in dublin 5. Snowing non stop and the depth out there. Climbing up tnt wall of the garden and cannot even see the curbs of the road anymore. Snow just accumulating by the minute

Chrongen · 01-03-2018 05:32AM

spookwoman · 01-03-2018 05:34AM

Steady heavy fall in waterford for while now

Nibs05 · 01-03-2018 05:35AM

Took a chance of trying to get to work, nearly went sideways into a wall, never seen snow like this in east Meath.

spookwoman · 01-03-2018 05:35AM

I see nice activity coming off the sea in your area, cool, nothing more for us

wonski · 01-03-2018 05:37AM

While we are all excited, Croatia, that I visit regularly, was badly hit.

182 cm record snowfall. That is some record and I hope we won't get anywhere near that!

20cm will do.

igCorcaigh · 01-03-2018 05:37AM

-7" here

Was only just thinking the same thing. Looks to me like the met.ie radar covers precip more comprehensively, the nw radar has me clear overhead atm and it’s muntering down here. I don’t like waiting 15 mins for updates though...I want my updates NOW!!
