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!

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.

Yeah. The lake effect snow from North Irish Sea is effecting the a strip along the north of the county and much of Inishowen but there’s really snow south of Milford.

So is it basically saying storm Emma has being downgraded and in that won't drop as much of the snow ?.. I'm sure southern eastern parts will still be in for blizzard like conditions will they ?
