    To put it simply, the snow up till now has been lake effect snow, where cold upper airmasses travelling over warmer water creates massive convection of moisture from the Sea generating intense Snow Clouds that tuck in behind each other like cyclists slipstreaming each other. These streamers can be hit and miss, so even if they are coming in your direction they might still miss you by a mile or two where you get nothing but just up the road from you gets tonnes of snow. If you are lucky enough to be under a streamer for decent amount of time, Streamers can give you massive amounts of snow in a very short time.

    The other problem with Streamers though is that they need a certain length of sea track to form the streamers. The distance from Liverpool to Dublin for example is long enough but the distance between the Western Coast of Wales and the Eastern Coast of Wicklow/Wexford is not long enough. In a North Easterly wind Wicklow has a long enough sea track from up beside the Isle of man but unfortunately for us this time the wind turned due east after Tuesday nights snow putting us in the Wales Snow shadow.

    The Thursday/Friday snow event is different, that has nothing to do with lake effect snow and is simply a big wet storm coming up from the south and meeting very cold air blowing at us from the east and all the rain in the storm falling as snow instead.

    Wow thank you for this brilliant explanation!

    An event that hasn't even happened yet and you, oh genius one, can already call it a non event? The mind boggles.

    No not 'Wet' snow. 'Wetter' snow. ie. Better snow for making snowballs and snowmen. Actually sticks together rather than crumbling to Snow dust in your hand.

    Thanks im an an idiot when it comes to this , I'm reading things I don't want to read luke wet snow and thinking that's rain. All I want to read is that it's still a big event.Thanks for clearing up though

    Here in South Donegal this morning there is a general feeling of WTF ! We have bright sunshine and haven’t seen any snow. Now all schools are closed. There are no buses running. 90% if the charts I’ve seen show the storm not even reaching Donegal. If this doesn’t have a ‘cry wolf’ result for Red Warnings I don’t know what will. Bemusing.


    I'm on the coast in NW Donegal... We Had a few showers lastnight that lay. It's been snowing constantly here since around 7am this morning.

    In east Donegal here and I see a lot of businesses and even Creche’s and play schools posting on social media stating they are open for business and will remain so unless the weather changes. I agree with whoever said an orange alert would have been more than suffice for Donegal.

    Wet Snow is not the downgrade!! The Snow from Emma was always going to be 'Wet Snow'. 1982 was 'Wet Snow'. In fact its better for making snowballs and Snowmen.

    The downgrade is precipitation amounts and how far north its looking like Emma will come before she's deflected west by the Beast from the East. ie. She might not even make it to Dublin now nevermind Ulster and the North West.
