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!

Is anyone else a bit sleep-deprived and not really bothered about that fact? This is too interesting to sleep through. I’ll sleep when I’m dead.

Tell me about it. We have a teething baby so I should be sleeping everytime we manage to get her to settle but no, here I am, lamppost watching all night. Fml.

Snowing and windy in Kilcock. If this is what it is now before the winds I dread to imagine later

I agree the wind is wild here in d12.

Snow continuing to fall/being blown about it Portobello. Looks like we had another 4cm or so over night, keeping a measurement post out the back, up to 16cm (not sure if I'm following the contentious measurement requirements debated last week but it'll do me ðŸ€—)

irelandspurs

what I don't understand is the radar is not showing anything over portarlington but it's quite heavy.

Snowing here in Dublin 9 after a pretty uneventful night

Really? I have was up with the baby multiple times and it was hammering down every time with limited visibility during gusts. Still the same now. Are things that localised? I'm in the Whitehall/Santry area.

Woke up to a good bit of snow that fell overnight here in Waterford and it's still snowing, the sky looks full of it and what we are expected to get later on top of this is just crazy

Did you get much snow last night .
I'm about 8 miles south of you and only got about 50 mm

Still nothing in gorey, I wouldn't be surprised if this blizzard will manage to bypass us also!! :rolleyes:

Everything rebuilt on yesterday. We lost a decent depth due to a huge shower of hailstones yesterday and its beyond that now. I swept my path yesterday, there were piles of over 20cm on either side of it. Now it looks like I never did it. I've no ruler and I'm loath to estimate but its the most snow I've seen

This event has been very disappointing for Wicklow so far. Even the Roundwood folk have only gotten a few centimetres. My 4cm in Bray doesn't even beat February 2009 for crying out loud. Supposed to have been the worst impacted area in the Country Tuesday to Thursday and turns out we were one of the least. Can't imagine how disappointed the Greystones, Wicklow, Arklow and Gorey Boys and Girls are so far who got even less or nothing at all. I swear to goodness, if I don't have a foot of snow outside by Friday afternoon I'll be writing a stern letter to the Weather Gods!! :mad:

Great covering in Loughrea, Galway, last night. a good 3 - 4 inches looking at the middle of the road. Schools closed, just as well. Drifts are a lot deeper too.

Nor much overnight here in Kilnamanagh, d24.

1-2 cms on top of what was already there at best.

Pretty calm too, no wild winds. Yet.

No snow tomorrow and I will never mention the word snow in my house again until its up to the window cills. Extremely disappointing for the kids.

Same as Lucan. Got a big top up over night.

Anywhere get no snow?

Don't think there was much here overnight in Cork city to add to what fell but there is a treacherous layer of ice under that snow. Glad I don't have to try travelling in that. Be lethal.

Not a single flake

measured extra 3cm of snow overnight, on top of 23cm yesterday morning, now snowing heavily and horizontally.
I am really curious what totals can we get over next day or two here in West Wicklow, we might be in the sweet spot as precipitation stalls in Wicklow mountains, what do mods think of west wicklow area and snow potential during today and tomorrow? thanks

Effectively none in Donegal, as predicted. But should get some tonight.

I think a code error? NOAA was reporting light snow showers for that time.
