    I cant believe how these snow grains as Gaoth puts it have built up in the past 25 mins in Swords having filled in footsteps properly on our driveway.
    It's insane. I've never seen anything like it and unsure we will again!

    Rte news report was an extreme warning, if it unfolds like she says its extremely band for most of the country. It'll be one +one v soon, worth watching.

    Report from Drogheda is very heavy winds and what I think is snow, but appears very light. When it hits the window it appears as rain or water, yet the areas of the ground that have been walked on are filling back up.

    Light dusting in Mallow, hardly worth the wait.

    Incredibly fine snow here on the Meath Westmeath border but it’s absolutely bucketing down it has been snowing non stop here since last night 13” and rising on the lawn and the drifts are up level with hedge tops.....i put snow chains on my van they do an awesome job of motoring on through the worst of it.

    Looks like rain in Newbridge but when you go outside it's very fine snow. It would cut through you with the wind too.

    An easy test to prove what's falling, put a small mirror in the freezer few minutes, bring outside if rain hits it, it will freeze straight away, if it's fine sizzle, it will stay on mirror as is

    City will always be warmer and more sheltered. You are the exception, not the rule.

    Stuck a black sleeve out the window and it's the finest/smallest white stuff I've ever seen.

    In fact if you bagged it, the notorious might be interested in buying it.

    You can still make a call yourself, you have just been informed that it could be very dangerous to carry on as usual.

    Not possible to carry on as normal, as everything has been closed due to red alert - businesses, shops, pharmacies, even petrol stations, today on south Dublin which until this evening has been effectively just for a few flurries and a manageable amount of lying snow from Tuesday night. Tonight into tomorrow the warning is justified, but before this evening, completely OTT in my opinion. We Irish, according to relatives abroad, are 'far too fragile' when it comes to these things. The last day or two the authorities have been treating the snow so far as if it was radioactive fallout.

    Snow is now starting to accumilate on top of what’s already there in Bray. Very heavy winds accompanying snowfall.

    I think the storm has now properly started, and judging by the radar, Bray, South Dublin and North Wicklow are only just on the northern fringe of Emma.

    I think we’re in for a historic night.

    Dewpoints are getting very high. We're 1-2 degrees from all out rain. My limited knowledge is that as the leading edge passes temps should drop again, but this system is so bewildering I don't even know.

    Since apparently wind turbines now slow the earth's rotation, it could be 10 degrees and sunny in an hours time and I probably shouldn't be surprised.

    I think that's what's confusing people, looking out you'd think it was raining,try going out in it and it's a different story. It's like needles of ice blowing in the wind.

    The red warning has been extended to 6pm tomorrow by Met Eireann for Southern and Eastern counties with 1cm of snow expected in some parts of Wicklow. Going by that it looks like this weather event is going to be worse than what they predicted. The lovely Siobhan Ryan said that it now looks like records are going to be broken regarding the amount of snow that is going to fall in some areas and that this a weather event we most likely won't see again for many years.

    Super fine snow in Turners Cross, Cork. Wind seems to have eased completely. Any reports are saying not supposed to hit here for another hour... so making the most of having electricity and charging everything and anything just in case!
