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!

My back yard here in Kinsale is almost unrecognizable. I spent 3 years in Austria and this compares to anything I’ve experienced there. If Emma brings more we will have the snow coming up to the windows...

Jim Gazebo

Looking like we might get a few more flurries there in the city in Cork? Or are we now awaiting for storm emma to bury us?

Miles better than 2010 for snowfall.

No way. The depths are nowhere near as deep as what Dublin and other areas got in December 2010. People have short memories!

I've heard that for the last 48 on here.

TBH I'm sick of it all now - my boss in the US is getting very angry for all the customer events planned this week having been cancelled and I'm bearing the brunt of it.

He can't understand how 18cm can shut down the country. They are used to working in drifts of 18ft over there and still getting on with it.

I tried the "its Ireland we are not made for this", and got laughed at.

Look on the positive side - we would have the same outcome with 1.8cm of snow. They'd never stop laughing if this was the case.

It isn’t though. Winter 2010 is unparalleled in my lifetime. Weeks of lying snow, icicle formation, thick ice forming on canals, rivers and lakes, and regular decent amounts of snow. This isn’t anywhere close to that in any part of the country.

2010 was better for enjoying the snow as it was generally sunny and calm. Today is a much worse day than anything I can remember from 2010 on windiness alone.

Jesus. Watching people get upset by getting snow or not getting snow is ridiculous. SAD

Perhaps in some areas but where I am we have about a foot of snow in 2010, only about 2 inches now! :pac:

battering down snow easily for an hour i would say in galway looking at the radar galway could have a lot of snow even before emma arrives!!

Suns out in Cork but no thaw. Layer of ice under the snow. (Lough area)

You're OK, American companies in Ireland have to follow Irish employment legislation.

Let him waffle away

Let it snow let it snow let it snow......

Still non-stop in Waterford, footpaths are lethal. There won’t be a blaa to be got in the morning boi

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.

With a shovel

we are on an elevated exposed position so admittedly probably more than surrounding areas.

It just hasn't stopped in Edenderry since yesterday evening. Measured 7 inches at 9am and has been lightly snowing since non stop. Id say since 5pm yesterday we have not had an hour go by without falling snow.

I'm not sure what Emma has forecast for us but even another 10cm with the wind will make it unbelievable. Maybe somebody can give me an expected total for kildare / east offaly.

I reckon if it stopped now and that was it we would have the biggest snowfall I can certainly remember in this area.

Amazing stuff.

Quadruple that, potentially.

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.

Why would you want it to snow?

Miserably cold, everything closed and you can't even go outside.

Checked rte.ie for information re: northwest. No mention of the heavy falls here in Inishowen. Some coverage.

AccuWeather says accumulations of up to 1-2 feet in Dublin. We'll see about that. It's close to a foot here so it doesn't sound that outlandish.

Is there any chance you could share a picture of this?

People in Kildare, Cork, Kilkenny, Drogheda who have posted pics of significant snow- you need to realise that this is light compared to what Emma could drop later, risk increasing exponentially the further south you are.

Heed the warnings. You ain't seen nothing yet.

Is it going to reach drogheda

Aaaw Calibos I feel for you :-( don’t worry, Emma is comin!

Quite the reversal Leahyl wasn't it. Me expecting megatonnes of snow from what looked likely to be the most potent North Easterly Streamers in a decade with Wicklow forecast to be the Epicentre and you in Cork hoping against hope that you might get a dusting at some point.

Nevermind my neck of the woods in Bray, theres only a dusting in Roundwood with clear dry roads deep and high in the Wicklow mountains and those folks get snowed for at least a day or two at some point nearly every single year!

Emma better make up for this!!

Complete non event.

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

Hopefully this one time it goes in our favour.

I need some solpadeine reading posts like this

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.

I would leave earlier than 3 just incase

Surprisingly, the UK's national grid is reporting that gas supplies are running low which is resulting in industrial users being taken off line.

I'm just wondering are we OK as a large % of our gas comes from the same supplies.
