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!

The road which had thawed outside my house is basically all white again in Cork City. Sign of things to come?

Not much at all yet in the city centre.

Just to add to the Dublin rain/snow debate... I was sure looking out my window in Chapelizod that it was drizzle I was seeing but I stepped outside to do the fleece test and it was the finest snow I've ever seen. Lot's of it too. Never seen anything like it before.

The netweather Wales forum is reporting proper heavy snow so we can assume it will be the same when it gets here. Also because it is so windy it is not going to stay on flat surfaces. Check for the corners and areas out of the wind for accumulations

It's freezing rain for me, Rougies might be correct with his comment.

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...

The rain in Dublin is snow for me. I think you’ll be ok.

Ballaghaderreen Area:

Bright and sunny all day. Temps didnt get above -1. Calm until about 2 hours ago. Tiny amount of snow fell a couple of days ago, but none since then. All businesses closed today at 1pm, which was odd considering the almost perfect, and quite normal winter weather we are having. Farmers and Urban customers of ours scratching their heads bewilderment at the National Red warning all day. It is almost like the East coast is on an entirely different planet. Work closed today purely for insurance reasons. Basically if anyone had an accident during the Red Warning, either travelling to work or in work, you can guarantee the insurance firms would not cover you. Just in from a walk with the dog. A bit windy, but no snow. In fact, the temps have risen a bit. Looking at the charts, It is doubtful we are going to get anything tonight or tomorrow.
As some folks here are saying, due to the overkill on the warnings, they have a danger of not being heeded going forward.

Keep some of that whiskey for tomorrow

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

I hope people don't think I'm trolling, it really is raining at Grange, Dublin 13.

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.

Raining on Baggot St, blowing hard but definitely raining

Still waiting here in D3, very little happening

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'

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'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!

Will a picture of rain on the window suffice?

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.

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.

This is what I needed to here

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.
