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!

Still raining in Dublin 18 Might check in on this thread later when the "rain deniers" could to grips with reality. Happy hunting!

You need to go do the fleece test and see what lands on your arm.

Very fine snow and a hauling gale in Portmarnock. I just popped my head out the door.

Oh, and i would hate to be a mod on this page, on this night. So many posts per minute - they cant even take a quick break and look out the window at it all unfold.

I gave up on this thread on Tuesday, can't keep up.

I didn't notice any snow in the last few hours but there is a light dusting of snow over the car tracks and where a thaw occurred earlier. Im guessing it must be very light snow because I've had the blinds open all evening and saw nothing

same in galway now surreal not snow like ice needles!

The freezing rain in Clonmel seems to have now turned into that weird tiny ice crystal snow people are talking about, with occasional flurries of bigger flakes.

Yeah there's definitely more moisture in the air tonight compared to the powdery snow that was falling last night.
It is now blowing almost horizontal to the ground so there's a bit of wind blowing

The radar has us completely covered in precipitation but only the finest of snizzle floating in the air.

Much snow on the ground? I live in Drogheda but am currently visiting sick family in Mayo.

Yes, most of it came overnight, but I'd say 4 to 6 inches in the garden depending on drift.

The"rain" that I posted about whilst in my "troll costume" appears to be crystal meth type quality. Small broken bits of ice. It actually resembles a shattered windscreen!

N11 was totally clear, black tarmac, a few hours ago, no slush or anything. Now there is a thick white covering everywhere - a car just had a bit of a wobble. Definitely to be avoided.

Where abouts on the N11?

turned up a notch again...not a full on white out but getting there. Very gusty with poor visibility. Impossible to quantify the amount of fresh snowfall.

Similar here in Dublin 16, and accumulating relatively quickly. -1.1c atm.

I have just declared on the technical thread that I believe this to be the real deal!!!

I'm near Church Lane and it's most definitely snowing and it's most definitely sticking. Car and path covered again having been clear an hour ago.

So am I.. Starting to look a little snizzly

Unbelievable accumulation in the last 2 hours (Sandyford)

Insane wind in D14..little tiny ice particles nearly flying horizontally

More seriously, is there an artifact in the netweather radar page blocking coverage over south dublin/north wicklow?

https://www.netweather.tv/live-weather/radar

Been some suspicious straight edges showing up on that map.

Netweather doesn't use the Dublin radar (in their free version anyway), so when there's heavy precip in between Dublin and Belfast it impedes the view of the Belfast radar and causes artificial gaps like this.

So frustrating watching the radar from mayo last few days. To miss out on this historic event is really tough to take. Hoping that the system shifts its course enough to bring some our way.

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.

Exactly the same stuff falling here in Kinsale in south Cork.

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.

I agree while the warning might be correct for what is to come but to effectively scare the people into a shelter in place as of 1500 this afternoon is just overkill.

People who even sporadically get snow started laughing at us telling them we need to close shop now.

Sure, it might get bad tonight but it's now hours after the government tells me it's too dangerous for me to be out.

They need to get better with this forecasting thing because when it comes around next time people are going to ignore it and when it than is correct, possibly die.

Incompetence all around as usual.

People think that the Government are lying yet the storm isn't even near Ireland yet. The red warning is up until 6pm tomorrow for a reason.

Just a poor forecast mixed with a lot of hype and much wishful thinking. A couople of cms of snow maybe overnight.
Nothing to see here.

Mod Note

please no more reports on this one , another one bites the dust

Not where I am, I always can hear the wind from my bedroom, I honestly can hear nothing.

Not in city centre either. Wind can be very localised though.

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!

I’m here too.

I've just driven from Wicklow to Greystones in the last half hour and I can confirm it is snowing heavily in Greystones now. Tiny flakes, but not as dry as the stuff that was falling yesterday.

Where is Kermit the frog???

With all the snow he was reporting at his location maybe he succumbed to the weather.
