Hasn't stopped snowing in Mullingar since 10am - and the worst hasn't hit yet

dahat · 01-03-2018 06:31PM

Clonmel is a non event, I see alot of local businesses being annoyed that a red alert was issued.

Things may change during the evening and night but a let down so far. At the same time though the lack of severe weather is a plus for many reasons.

Will only judge this cold spell once it all clears up in 24-48 hours (blizzard is still a few hours away). So far the convective event has been a slight let down for me even though I always knew that +10cm accumulations are very hard to come by with such strong winds and only marginally favourable wind bearings. The temperatures coupled with very strong onshore winds have been remarkable though imby.

Tonight should only really kick off in Dublin after 10 pm I think. Peak around sunrise tomorrow? Also may turn slightly marginal on exposed coasts if the precip continues tomorrow (hopefully it will arrive in the first place!), but before that all snow right down to the coast even with temps sometimes a bit above zero.

Have you looked at any forecasts, the storm will hit this evening and tonight.

Why are you expecting it to be snowing now?

Yes I have read the forecasts - the 15cm - 20cm forecasts haven't happened over the last 48 hours here at all, with about 6cm being the most we got here.

We've not gotten the snow other areas have in the east by far!

Stopped snowing northside cork city is this going to happen at all?

No. Looks like the blizzard will blow all the snow into the Atlantic. Oh well.

Would anybody be so kind to provide some technical info on possible reasons why inland areas such as where I am received little to no snow at all?

Is it simply because of the distance from the east coast, in a ENE direction?

Rathcormac to Tallow have nothing either

Kilkenny is thawing , no snow on trees here now. It's impossible to believe anything dramatic is going to change.

You should give Evelyn a buzz and tell her.

The wind in Cork City has picked up a little. I'm seeing / feeling noticeable gusts now.
It's still nothing in anyway dramatic, but the trees are starting to sway and move a bit whereas it had been rather still until now.

Heavy Snow and Winds now in North Wexford. Visibility extremely poor. This is it.

There was no forecast of 15-20cm for the last 24 hours so I don't know what you're getting at.

It's all been forecast for tonight and tomorrow.

Franz Von Peppercorn · 01-03-2018 06:34PM

I’ll think I stop watching this thread for a few hours so I can avoid engaging the people who think they can judge a day long storm hours before it happens.

Maybe a new thread for people who have something to report?

Just out on a walk the last 30 mins north Dublin. Definitely a lot chillier and windy and darker skies

I'm unsure if it will be snow or rain later though, seems on a knife edge

No knife edge, it'll snow

Its been a non event in some locations, when will people accept this and stop attacking posters for stating what they see?

Cody montana · 01-03-2018 06:35PM

Bugger all happening.

Complete non event in limerick, quite a few reps are sending letters to our local politions about the situation with the nation wide red alert.

Why, the worst hasn't even hit yet. I think numerous poster have been showing the track of storm emma for the last few hours. It's clear it wont hit ireland for another couple of hours.

Frank Bullitt · 01-03-2018 06:35PM

Bit of a lull here in D3, still gusty but zero snowfall for a while now.

Sofa King Great · 01-03-2018 06:35PM

I have been following the thread closely over the last week. On sunday/Monday people were giving out that it wasn't going to snow at all as it wasn't snowing at that moment. The forecast was saying Tuesday night - it snowed Tuesday night.

Now people are aaying it is a non event as the impact of emma has jot hit - it is forecast to hit later this evening.

Did people honestly expect the snow to start at 4:01?!

SleetAndSnow · 01-03-2018 06:36PM

Tips of emma starting to show up off the south coast?

All the banks were closed in co. Limerick today. A national embarresment once again.
Not a flake of snow has fallen.

Celebrity female weather forecasters too busy updating their twitter feed perhaps? How can they pay the attention to detail required to give the taxpayers an accurate forecast...
