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!

Ultimate Seduction

I usually hate these kind of posts, but I've had enough. I'm aware we will get a good blast of it later, but the last 3 days has been so disappointing. Not one flake of snow and a low of only -4. Nothing too severe. Again, I understand the storm is later but this beast from the east dodged me completely.

Easily another 10cm on top of 12cm from yesterday so 22cm deep snow and still falling here on the Meath Westmeath border outside Kinnegad.

The gaps between the patio have snow in them now.
Really not warranting a red warning in sw donegal yet!

Brock Turnpike

D15 - Snowing sideways here at the moment after another dumping last night. Strong winds.

Are we due rain or snow tonight? Dublin wise..
Seeing both?

D2 is getting pasted with it coming down side ways...I'd hate to think what it would be like this late afternoon!

Freezing morning in Cork City. No snow added but impressive icicles hanging from everything. Easily 3-4 cm on the ground here. Winter wonderland in Spring.

Lovely morning in Dublin 17 with continuous streamers from the Irish sea ðŸŒŠ

diarmuid79

Another 6-8cm in Celbridge with snow still coming down this morning, winter wonderland

Why are we hearing about blizzards and warnings from 4pm when MT is saying today will be less impressive . What am I missing here with that forecast ?

In that bit he's talking about the snow streamers blowing into North Leinster and Ulster at the moment.

However, I'm reading the rest where he talks about the actual blizzard and I think he's saying it'll hit the Dublin region later than I expected this evening and with less snow totals than I expected. ie. I'm lowering my expectations here in Bray where I've also been bitterly disappointed along with the rest of Wicklow where we've all gotten little or none so far.

Our loss in that Easterly with the Wales Snow Shadow over us was Southern Coastal Corks gain though I suppose as the Easterly delivered historic amounts to some parts of Cork. Should shut up the Corkonian 'Snow whingers' for a while.

Not much extra snow in D16 overnight, whats there has frozen underneath.

Fitzo123

A fairly impressive 2 or 3cm in Sligo town which is way more than was expected by now.

None overnight at all in Bray. So sad this morning ðŸ˜¢ðŸ˜¢

Very light snow here, we seem to be at the edge of the streamers, barely 1cm overnight, disappointed!

Oops69

this is pretty amazing in D15 And Emma hasn't arrived yet !, memories of a lifetime .... well done Met Eireann, without the timely warnings we could have people stranded on motorways like in Scotland , uk met office has questions to be answered .

John.Icy

Despite plenty of heavy and driving snow overnight in my location - very little added to accumulations. In fact there's a few cm less out back now than there was yesterday evening. It's just all blowing away!

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.

No 1 rule I learned at the knee of my own mother. Never ever suggest to children that anything at all is going to happen tomorrow, indeed, dismiss any rumors they may have heard completely out of hand.

Fairly pelting it down in celbridge at the moment. Winds strong enough and have been pretty much all night. The snow we used in the garden to build the mega snowman named ted by my 4 year old has now been replaced. Drifts in some places too.

I interpret that as during the early part of the day, before the evening snowfall

Unreal in Clondalkin here. 18cm and 25cm drifts at walls

I can confirm this. Maybe even higher tbh. Still snowing too

Far more snow here than in 2010

Some models want to leave Dublin out of the situation tonight, probably good coz there’s already nearly a foot here.

MT has broken the possible snowfalls into sections/time periods...you need to add it all up!

Bitterly cold outside Roundwood this morning. It's been -6 here regularly enough over the winter so I'm guessing it's more than that although weather app is saying -4.

Where is the snow? We had more than this in early December. I know I should be relieved but I feel a bit cheated. The roads are totally clear too which is bizarre as we can get snowed in when there's no snow anywhere else.

I totally get your disappointment but you’ve just been unlucky.

It's actually in effect now! As of 2300 yesterday.

Yes, apologies, you are correct. The west will still be affected later. I think it's wise to close the schools.

Woke up to unreal cold in our house, never feels that Cold in this house before.

Temp -3
Real feel-10
Humidity 60%
Dew point -9.
Wind 35 km/h northeast.

Heading over to read MT's weather now so I can do my:eek: face.

_Dara_

Just wondering what people make of this? It’s the Dark Sky app which I have no idea if it’s well-regarded or not. If the temperature goes above freezing, could we have rain instead of snow?
