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!

Missed it. Did she just talk about the East?

Annoyingly yes. When asked to give a timeline on events, no mention of when it would arrive in the south, all about the east and Dublin.

I've seen one guy who was lapping up the bread memes & laughing at eveyone now complaining that the shops are closed/have no bread and he wants some.

How could 20-30cm of snow fall in such a small amount of time. So this will be complete all out blizzard? It would have to be incredibly sustained and heavy snow for that amount to fall, pretty incredible..verging on unbelievable!

as far as todays weather, the kids could've gone to school and I could've gone to work quite happily and be in no danger.....I think the warning should've started a lot later

Not in my area (bishopstown). The roads we totally snowed over and basically frozen until 2pm, my schools on a hill, the only things gritted were the main roads. Cars Hill (main road to all the pharma places) was deadlocked with the little snow yesterday so today would have been much worse.

Absolutely chucking it down here in Naas now. For me now this is already memorable

Have to agree... I missed out on the fun (snow wise) due to the birth of my first born on the 20/12/10 which had me cursing the snow (sorry!), but I am over it now :-)

looks like we are in for a shaky night

Emma must almost be upon us, as the winds have definitely increased here now and seem to be getting stronger.

I've quite an impressive build up of snow on the car roofs,(a foot at least) and I've seen others clear this away, just wondering if this is advisable or will I let it sit?

I find it a handy indicator of what has fell.

Bet this will scoot past mid/north cork too....

I'd be confident it'll hit Macroom, Ballyvourney, Clondrohid and Toons Bridge, leaving one big green patch dead centre where I am!!

Am I too ?

Any luck there so far?

Hasn't stopped here for one minute since I got up this morning, relentless heavy driving snow, unreal and far beyond what I was expecting for today.

Looks like the outer bands of the storm are starting to move into the south east now though very light for now, the main band still over Cornwall and Devon

Brilliant presentation by siobhán on RTÉ one just now
At least an extra 25cms in the east maybe 30 or more
Record breaking she said
She’s also expecting a metre in the Wicklow mountains
Not drifts actual amount of snow falling
That will be 20 feet drifts plus

Its weird, we have virtually no snow so far in Roundwood. Yet the radar has been showing precipitation all day?

I’ve a feeling it’s going to be a fun 36 hours or so ....... Bring it on 😂😂

snowfall has really picked up here now in Dunshaughlin. I think the transition from Irish sea streamers to Storm Emma is transparent today, hasn't really stopped snowing since last night.

Moderate is better than no snow flurries.

North Cork finally gets some snow! People from Mallow were complaining about lack of snow on radio earlier!

Genuine question for anyone that knows,how many people were killed during the 1982 event

I know of one man who died due to being caught out in blizzards near Ballinascorney in the hills in County Dublin. His body was found in drifts some time later.

Just checked one one the benches out the back garden, 9 inches sitting on top of it in the Curragh. Sorry I've no pick, for the life of me I can't find my tape and had to use a brush handle and a tailors tape to measure it.

Awwwwfook

I'm in Lismore in West Waterford and apart from a few flurries we havent had much. Yet if you drive 20 mins in any direction it's like a winter wonderland.
I'm slightly miffed. Please warm my heart and tell me we are in for a few inches at least.

Everyone please be careful and stay indoors. Totally irresistible for the government to advise to stay indoors after 4pm . It should have been 3pm. Thats when my hat blew off and I was nearly hit by a few snowflakes. Totally severe weather.

people in my area saying there was no need and they could have gone to work today (cork city) and be home by 6 and be fine.. I give up

Siobhan Ryan excellent on Rte 1 at the moment. 1 metre for the Wicklow mountains possibly!!

Is she actually a meteorologist? I don't usually watch RTE weather forecast so I'm not sure who's who.
