Severe Weather Snow / Ice Weds 28 FEB ( Onwards ) READ MOD NOTE POST#1

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!

Not only this - but if the large majority of the country excluding those counties is under several cm of snow and in driving, heavy gusts of winds, coordinating and dispatching emergency/rescue services and public services to those 'untouched' counties is going to be extremely difficult and dangerous in and of itself. This is a batten down the hatches kind of night coming up.

Every time I see this I think.....I have no hatches to batten?

Maybe someone from Wexford could tell us if it's currently snowing there so we can decide which radar to trust.

It's been snowing light/moderate all morning in North Wexford near the Wicklow border.

Dry sunny and no snow in Limerick.

Very disappointed. Hope Emma comes soon

HelloMrSnowman

Been snowing non-stop in Newbridge since I woke up around 7, could have been going a lot longer though. Past half an hour it's after getting heavier again. Managed to venture to the shop a while ago and the Army were out with snow ploughs, guessing that means the council is stretched thin if the army is after been called in.

If Emma hits us hard later, Kildare will be under easily 50/60 cm.

How exact are the timelines they are giving? I’m in work and been told I need to finish my shift so I’ll be leaving at 4pm. Have a 30 min walk home in good conditions. So I’m guessing at least double that today. Will I be ok do you think or should I just leave an hour early and risk disciplinary in work???

Edited to add I’m in bray.

Thanks.

On a side note. I’ve found this thread very informative so thanks to everyone for the input.

Public advised to stay indoors from 4pm. Leave at 3pm would be my advice.

Wow, lots of snow on the east coast/inland. Any snow in Cork seems to be south of the river lee and nearest the coast

For a change

Nice bit of snow in Clon these last 2 days.

Think that orange might have been the better choice for Mayo, Sligo, Leitrim, Donegal and possibly Cavan/Monaghan but there are strategic reasons to go all red, just in case things move much further north than expected, and to deter people from making travel plans that might be from the marginal warned areas into core red alert areas, especially as the storm is for a Friday and it would be logical to assume that hundreds of people might ordinarily be planning a weekend trip south to Galway or Dublin area perhaps, this might make them cancel those travel plans which would seem like a good thing.

It can be very inaccurate. I would suggest the uk met office radar or rain today

Thanks. Rain Today is showing the same huge band over wexford that is missing on met.ie.

Have to admit I am mildly concerned now. If this is to last until Saturday morning which it is now saying that's a lot of snow. Could be a few feet in drifts.

It’s been snowing/blowing all morning in Kilcock but radar has had almost nothing. Met Eireann more accurate here

Brother's one in Drogheda, hope the fish are okay. Roughly 15cm of snow and still heavy there currently

Persistent snow in D18 for the past 3 hours accompanied by strong breeze.

Netweather has shown no activity anywhere near us this morning. Is there known issues with their radars?

Ya noticed that alright. So are we saying netweather.tv is not accurate for what it's showing in Wexford now??

Any body else tired of trying to explain to neighbours that storm hasn't arrived yet, and that the intense snow fall is the streamers been inhanced by the upcoming storm, they called me a snow nurde ðŸ˜¡

Definitely. I may have to do a historical post on it someday in the Irish Weather Statistics thread.

We will look back in the snow starved years to come and say froze were the days!

My snowbaby (born prematurely Dec 2010) turned the page on the calendar this morning. . . . . to a snow scene. Its almost like Carlow Weather knew. ;-)

Flaking down again in Moycullen, Galway with a couple of cams on the ground from overnight showers
Currently -3.4C but feels like -9.0C

Light snowfall from about 9am in Portmarnock. It's variable, but nothing too interesting at this point.

The Eagle has disappointed me with his dismissal earlier in the week of all this. By the way where is Gerry Murphy? Is he doing the radio forecasts?

Snowed in at the gym.
