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!

Im in Convoy, and been a couple of light flurrys but nothing really sticking

Just stopped snowing in Cabinteely in the past 20 mins. Radars seem to be "off". But despite almost 3 hrs of snow, there is scant depth added. Light flakes rather than pellets all morning. Seriously gusty.

very heavy snow galway while sun is out in full force also surreal

YR not given any significant increase in wind speed throughout the day.

Dry sunny and no snow in Limerick.

Very disappointed. Hope Emma comes soon

Don't wish for it. It's a total whiteout over here in Meath. In Navan and the visibility is dropping rapidly.

No bother Swanner.

Snowing all morning in D14 but apparently not a flake in Wicklow town where the family are!

Can anyone tell me when the weather forecasts are reliable? I have a few important matters early next week in work, am I safe to assume they will go ahead (everything this week has been cancelled)? Will we know by the weekend if next week is likely to turn bad?

Lads, this is better than 2010...

Oh I was about to say Galway seems fine. While I'm not one of the eejits that moan about the warnings I am suprised it was made nationwide. Doesn't seem to be that bad here. Certainly not to the levels of the south & east.

There is no need for that, he was just making an observation about the weather where he is.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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...

In D14, it's been snowing quite heavily all morning, but it doesn't seem to be giving much depth at all. It's very strange.

Limerick isn't due to get the worst until later today

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?

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.

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

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.

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

Complete non event.

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

Hopefully this one time it goes in our favour.
