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!

pathetic attempts to "snow" here in D16. Definate thaw in the last few hours. Way more lying snow yesterday. some blades of grass are starting to peep through in places again.

I know I've said it before but totally underwhelmed and fed up up to this point. major let down so far.

I don't know what you mean? It's been snowing in D14 all day (only up the road) and even if its small flakes they've topped up some accumulation here a lot more than yesterday afternoon? Heck, even right now its snowing pretty well despite it being smaller flakes, remember, worst is yet to come.

Snow here in kidare all day and hasn’t got above -1 yet while it’s still below freezing and still lashing snow yet there is a thaw on ? How is that possible icicles forming on cars and house now and good melt on ....anyone explain this ?

According to that, it should be snowing where we are in the SE. Which it is, but it's wet snow.

Remember that normally this depression would just bring rain and gales. It's only the presence or otherwise of the colder air that will turn it to sleet & snow.

Streamers have provided hours of snow in Oughterard today. Loving it. Hope Emma loads those streamers even more.

The west / south west/ North west were never in the firing line. Hardly a flake in Belfast either.

Met Eireann should never have included these regions as far as a red warning is concerned. Yellow at best.

Wind not coming from the right direction.

Not true for East Galway and the city, lots of snow particularly in the east.

Completely agree with you. Absolutely no reason what so ever for the south west to be included in it, absolutely not. Ridiculous.

Yawn. Clonakility has had near record snow already. Clonakilty is in the south-west.

looksee

Good covering in Tramore, Co Waterford, hard to say what depth because it has moved about so much, seems to be about 10cm on car roofs.
It hasn't stopped all day, though it is very fine snow at the moment. Gusts of wind pick up settled snow and swirl it around so its hard to tell the difference between settled and re-settling snow. Very heavy white/grey sky.

jdcv94

Gusts almost reaching blizzard level in Wexford up to 50 km/h now. Snow getting lighter.

Lovely to see all the reports of snow countrywide, These streamers have been very hit and miss so understandable people are on edge..

Here in south east Kerry there has been very light flutters in the air that last a few minutes,Nothing else of note,Be interesting to see what develops even if its limited in this area,just have to wait and see.

Why does it only go up to 5.35pm?

Well I think it takes time to update, probably gathering data etc, it seems to update every 10 - 15 minutes.

Snowing pretty much all day in Athlone. We actually had a slight thaw at one stage as shown by the icicles that formed on the cars but there's ice forming on the thawed glass and snow is sticking to it again.

I've never seen snow like it around here before.

Galway city has had constant snow all day varying between light to moderate.

Because it's live data, it's not a prediction.

So who's staying in watching "The Shining" with their family tonight?

All the hype is fueled by social media. Shops packed buying bread and alcohol, you would think we were about to be hit by a hurricane. The reason I’m frustrated is that I have elderly relatives that could not access pharmacy’s or banks etc.

The real problem is employment law.Allowing employees into work during a status red

Can’t understand why a nationwide status red was called at 11pm last night
Large parts of the country were fine

I think this has been some sort of inverse snow system in Cork. Snowing heavily close to the coast at sea level and nothing whatsoever on high ground in mid/north Cork. I know it's silly writing off an event before it really gets going, and the charts support wide spread snow, but I'm finding it very hard not to lose heart at the moment.

Don't worry Emma is coming from the south/south east not from the east or north east. Forget about the last 2-3 days now.

Just showed live radar from the NECC in tv3.

Lots of green and red bits in them clouds.

Be afraid....be very afraid

Carrigaline ( 16KMs south of Cork City ) today from DRONE. And still that way as it has been for days. Probably buried completely after tonight and tomorrow when Emma visits

Everyone's getting a little edgy wondering if the bride will turn up to the altar, calm down, she's just a little late but on her way. Surprised we haven't seen more posts/photos from Navan/Drogheda/Ardee, the radar shows persistent snow showers there for a long number of hours. Interesting on the radar now that it looks like showers hitting the Wicklow coast are intensifying once the hit land.

That's all we've gotten in the last few days really. Is it too windy for snow to settle? Could be a stupid question

It’s like watching the biggest thunderstorm of all time coming up from Biscay and making landfall in Wexford. Just winter style!

Storm 10

All change now with Met Eireann showers for the West and North
