In Kildare. Snow has not stopped all day. Coming from the east.

Looking south now I can see very dark clouds. Sky looks quite sinister.

This weather event has ticked all the boxes for me so far except one. Just need some thunder snow now for the icing on the cake.

close to 6 inches of snow here now in Dunshaughlin, snow almost double the depth it was last night.

Gonzo I remember you saying dunshaughlin was snow deprived in recent years but this seems to have been a much improved winter your way. Worth the wait is the sneachta!

All the experts have gone very quiet in here - what are the models showing this evening? Taking a bit longer than I thought to arrive on Corks shores, even though I knew it wasn’t going to start bang on at 4pm lol

They’re still in the tech thread. Why on earth would they want to keep posting in here with the constant Me Me Me moaning? They’ve been providing brilliant updates for the whole week, only for some in here to write off everything with “well its not a blizzard outside my house, so therefore its no storm and a red alert is overkill, and why cant the Luas be running already”.

Evelyn Cusack just gave all of wicklow and south dublin people who want snow, an almighty orgasm "up to a METRE of snow" - that's almost 40 inches.

Aimsir · 01-03-2018 07:32PM

A meter of snow Dublin area per Evelyn on rte now and worried about flooding afterwards

Itssoeasy · 01-03-2018 07:33PM

Evelyn cusack must be sick of being on TV. So it's not even here yet ? So why was the 4PM deadline put into place then ? That's what I think people are wondering and pissed off at.

Sleet shower just passed through Sandymount

Are you allowed to go in and walk around the course?

There's a public right of way down to the course. The drifting snow in the second photo is on that lane. By the time I made my way back (around 45 minutes later) it was another foot higher. Unfortunately my phone had died.

MaccaTacca · 01-03-2018 07:34PM

Weather forecaster on RTE Six One just said that there’s a good chance that we’ll see up to one meter of snow, in Dublin, Wicklow, Meath, Kildare.

She also said that there will be atleast 24 hours of constitent snow, with gale winds causing blizzards for the most part.

Yeah I can see why they aren’t posting alright,no need to get narky, was only asking a question. I completely respect them and never said they weren’t “providing brilliant updates”, which is why I was missing their posts from this thread also. People just let go at me then for no reason - Jesus, relax.

Natibaby · 01-03-2018 07:35PM

D24 and 100 asl and snow is now falling moderate and temperature is falling steadily, a good cm has fallen in the last hour, can't imagine the night ahead. Watching the news and huge snow depths for Wicklow now include South Dublin and a warning for flooding in the next couple of days

shamrock55 · 01-03-2018 07:35PM

Nothing here in West cork all day,in fact whatever we got yesterday has pretty much melted,lovely sunny day today,no sign of Emma either,she's 2 and a half hrs late

Was speaking to some Dutch tourists and they could not believe the hysteria and panic over the snow. Packed shops buying vodka and month supply’s of bread.

the fuss isn't actually about the weather, we've all seen far worse, it's about the fear of those now with probably liability getting sued because of the wording of newish alert system

Even though cork isn't meant to get snow until approx 8...

But yes 'lol'
Ffs!!

Apocalyptic here in Dundalk. Over the last hour it has got really dark, and seems to be getting worse.

Dr. Kenneth Noisewater · 01-03-2018 07:37PM

Up to a metre of snow in East Wicklow and South Dublin according to Evelyn!!!

Ah now stop, I just look for certain posters is all, some I am more used to than others

I'm just nowcasting it. There is no point in arguing about it when there is so much uncertainty. Better to weather it out and let it do its thing.

a) because it is difficult to track the exact course and speed of a storm like this.
b) it is sensible to ensure a few hours buffer to make sure that everyone is safely home. What if someone sets out at 3.30pm to get home but gets delayed by terrible roads and doesn't get home til much later?

cant wait for this thread to go quiet and then return to the really enjoyable reading when the experts contribute like Kermit etc, it was great at the beginning.

Lovely day here in limerick. Not a drop of snow. If anything, it's been warmer today than the previous two days.
