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!

Rain here in Waterford. Possibly end of snow spell. Nothing more than a gentle breeze either.

I am not trolling; just commenting on how it feels when I stand outside my house.

Definitely not the end of snow spell by any means. Wait and see

The weather radar is completely bloody nuts for Kildare today. Super frustrating as Met Eireann radar is accurate but slow

All these conflicting precipitation reports from areas so close together in dublin! This is so frustrating

Anyone worried about rain reports that relate to the leading edge of this system be rest assured that when the main bands of precip hit it will definitely be snow.

Will a picture of rain on the window suffice?

Forget about whether it will turn to rain tomorrow on the south coast. Can anyone explain why reports are starting to come in from some boardies that rain is falling. Cobh in Cork and Walkinstown in Dublin are two examples?

Dark Sky earlier was saying rain would fall. I asked about that on these forums and it was thought that it would be snow, not rain. The snow is very fine. Maybe people think they are seeing rain?

Been lightly snowing in Sligo town for at least 1.5 hours. Someone tell me the rain in Dublin might turn to snow here in time...

Not a lot happening in cork in the last few hours. Blinds are open ready to see it all unfold. Looks like we got a bit of an upgrade. While I'm excited Im also suddenly worried that we will lose power and water. I didint get much in the way of supplies and don't have any back up water if the pipes freeze. I'm going to open the attic hatch to get a bit of heat up there

Back to fine snow in Walkinstown

I'm in D18 too, absolutely not rain here, the roads have turned white after being slush all day

The roads in D14 have gone white after being slush since at least 4 or 5pm.

It’s very very fine snowy, haily rainyish now in Gorey. Just swirling around in the wind

We got a decent enough cover earlier but doesn’t seem to be built upon.

If its ice pellets they will melt on the window with the heat leaking from you home / apartment

For what it's worth, my window is soaking wet.

One side of it is is -2 degrees

The other side is +21 degrees.

The air in between the panes can only do so much, it's not going to stay frozen.

I'm currently in Ballincollig (Country Cork) and while it's cold and getting dark, there are children playing outside in some snow.

We closed office at 1400 following the red weather alert and nothing so far, no fresh snow since this morning and there is not even the slightest wind around.

From the news and panic, one would think the day after tomorrow would arrive but nope it's calm.

I got promised 60 cm of snow, I want my snow!

We will be buried in naas if this continues

BLIZZARD7

a good 1.5cm added to snow depth here in last 2 hours, more like normal snow now but still small flakes with grains mixed in.

I don't think today should have been 'written off'.. And it wasn't, transport, schools yes for obvious reasons..
But overall it's been a well thought almost military approach by met eireann.
And i think they made the right call, the red warning was subtly and calmly put to the nation and heeded by most, and those people who had to where then able to go about and do the necessary things that had to be done.

Couldn't agree more.

For most parts today was pretty bad weather wise. Imagine throwing normal work day into this and then public transport stopping and the chaos of the roads. It feels like nothing because for the most part it's gone off without a hitch.

Emergency services have access to almost all routes.
People aren't out putting themselves in danger (I've no doubt someone jumped off the board at salthill today!)
Bar the bad weather and lack of shops etc there is no 'drama'

Still waiting here in D3, very little happening

Raining on Baggot St, blowing hard but definitely raining

I believe you. I reported rain here too about an hour ago. Then I doubted my sanity and went to check again and convinced myself it was just tiny tiny snowgrains, but now looking back I'm not so sure. It's 100% accumulating snow here now.

There must have been a narrow mild sector that's moving northwards. You should be good for snow again soon.

1cm in last hour. Snow blowing all over the place. Very fine misty snow
