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!

Snowing here southeast Wexford all morning, light. Started to get heavier in last 30 mins.

Temp-3
Real feel -11
Humidity 85%
Dew point -5
Wind39km/h from east.

Sun is out in force here on the Tipp/Kilkenny border. Wind is bad and a constant attempt at snowing, but very light. The sun is thawing yesterday's snow an awful lot quicker than the fresh snow is falling

We have water, but most of our neighbours pipes have frozen. It's bitterly cold. Very strange combination of weather. Still very underwhelmed.

The exact location of these streamers is very hard to predict. Met took the right decision IMHO.

I agree - even though where I am has had practically nothing, there is no way Met or anyone else could have predicted the streamer activity & wind change. The schools are closed, businesses shut down and it's just a bit cold out, but they absolutely had to make the calls they made. The opposite would have been a disaster, someone might lose their life.

I keep saying this, because that's what usually happens.

Hopefully this one time it goes in our favour.

Not quite the Day after Tomorrow but a lot of snow here in Cork. Roads are lethal. Company cancelled work till monday. I'd call that an event. A happy event with no work !!!

Wind has picked up in N/Tipp

Many areas which currently have very little or no snow will get decent snow later on today and tomorrow from Storm Emma. The snow starved areas of Wicklow are going to do particularly well.

Even the parts of Dublin and Meath which have not faired as well as other nearby locations could see significant top ups in the next 24 hours.

This is because this is a frontal event and does get interrupted by Welsh or IOM Shadows. It's possible we could see regular falls of snow between now and Saturday.

as im dubious of the weather radars maps..now... can people post any links to live webcams from their area...?

Depends where you are
I'm in a part of Dublin where this even doesn't come close to 2010

No offence Pauly, but you seem like you are trying to win the "most unanswerable question" competition.

This depends on where you are, how windy and snowy it gets, how vulnerable the lines near you are to falling trees, and blind luck.

Indeed. I'm in suburban Dublin, so the answer for me is "not very likely". My previous house, which was also suburban Dublin, would have been at risk of losing water because it relied on a communal pumphouse.

My parents in rural Wicklow will be fine for water, but phone/internet and electricity are at risk.

The only person who can really answer this question is you.

Miles better than 2010 for snowfall.

Huge drifts now starting to build here in kildare especially in country areas or quiet spots.
Heavy snow for the last 5 hours

Limerick has a dusting of snow in the past two days. Probably no need for a nation wide closure of schools etc.

They have to play it safe. If they got it wrong and a bus load of limerick schoolkids ended in a ditch there would be joe duffy outrage.

I'm sure the kids ain't complaining !!

Been snowing here too in Dublin 16 but it's getting blown away!

How did you measure the 30cm? Here, in Kinsale we've had constant snow since Tuesday evening and only 18cm on the ground according to the measuring tape. Not doubting you but I'm amazed by 30cm in Roscommon.

What kind of timeline is the frontal snow expected for us poor deprived coastal Wicklow folk? Wondering if it will be after dark? Probably, right? Was half considering taking the kids off on a drive to somewhere with snow but I think that would be a bit mental given all the warnings...

Really wouldn't do that - it might be fine where you are but in places where the snow fell yesterday, the roads are likely to be covered in thick ice - it's lethally slippery. I'm in Bray and some roads that haven't been treated are like skating rinks. It's just not worth the risk.

So would o be right in thinking Emma is going to dump another 20 odd cm of snow on top of what we are all ready getting here in Waterford?

Wind direction will not change (much) but difference will be transition from convective snow to frontal snow....basically will not be relaying on the sea to produce snow.

Tried to take the dog out for a quick walk before the worse weather arrives later; he's only a little guy but he was out in the snow yesterday and loved it, so I thought he'd be just as keen today.

Nope - we got about 200 feet from the house, just at a corner on Bray seafront where the wind really hits you in the face and he turned tail and dragged me back home across the ice. It really is extraordinarily cold out there.

Please god let it snow In wicklow town and Bray , I get the feeling they're going to crack up with frustration there at this stage.

Can it even get worse than this?

Let's hope it can get better(more snow)- it certainly looks like it can from M.T. Cranium's forecast and looking at some of the hi- res models.
