Severe Weather Snow / Ice Weds 28 FEB ( Onwards ) READ MOD NOTE POST#1

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!

Must say I have found accuweather extremely accurate for Gorey over the last few days. Each hour they have gotten spot on pretty much

Are they well known for their accuracy?

That's funny because they've gotten it completely wrong where I am

Anyone else getting a tad despondent? I know what's forecast and not trolling. The wait is just killing when you look outside and there's nothing happening. (southside, Cork)

Yeh I just can't start to get my hopes up about a metre of snow supposedly going to fall in my area until i start seeing big heavy snowflakes

it was all supposed to kick-off at 4pm, looking like it will be 10pm before the main event starts, that's quite poor forecasting from the weather authorities.

Red alert warning probably saved hundreds of lives

ME blamed for the deaths of hundreds of people for not warning the country

its like the clouds are not letting the moisture go, just yet :pac:

Call me Al

Right now we don't have snow as such (Meath/Kildare border). Rather it's like snizzle being blown around the place, and lots of it. Still perishing cold though.

I like that met.ie doesn't even have an image to describe the stuff that's falling.

Yea. Kids are very disappointed. Feck all happening here.

Tis tough out. Living in Passage West, so judging by radars thought we would be getting a pasting by 8pm, am hour later still absolutely nothing. Following this for last 2-3 days so the disappointment is real, trying my best not to be pessimistic and to trust

6 inches of snow forecast for cork

Already close to a blizzard here on the coast. Really coming down in sheets. Cant imagine what conditions may materialise later. A marvellous but dangerous night

Cork starting to get battered

So are we waiting for darker colours to be the snow .. I must say Waterford is picking up a bit more now still very tiny crystal like but wind is adding a bit to it I just can't wait to see the snow now again ha

Plastic sheeting in Cork City there on RTE and it's starting to get heavy snow.

and if the weather system sped up as it very easily could have done and the heavy snow came at 5pm rather than 9pm, YOU and people like you would be whining that not enough warning was given.

I've a business - we closed yesterday and we'll reopen Saturday. It was nigh on impossible to get to it yesterday (kildare). I'm not risking staff safety for the sake of a few hours trading and I'd rather err on the cautious side.

Then for your area the red warning was justified.

Where abouts you based? I'm south-ish and nothing all day

In fairness I can see the Galtees so closer to east than mid-Limerick.

Pascal talking about people who've decided that because it's not yet snowing they are venturing out to the puib.

Warning started too early. Issued correctly based on guidance, but should have been revised to 6pm or 8pm. No matter that businesses were already closed, it would still provent complacency.

Are they ice pellets if they float about like snow flakes?

Starting to snow heavily here. (Newmarket Cork)

Very fine snow grains feel like sleet because they melt instantly on your face due to their tiny mass, giving that wet feel.

In the last 10 minutes it has started to snow more heavily here on the south Cork coast.

I don't know where you are but they said several hours ago in a forecast that it would hit dublin around 9.
Its not snowing heavily yet but the winds are extremely strong so obviously the storm is here or nearly at least

And people in wexford have been reporting strong wind and heavy snow for several hours now

You'd need goggles out there, horse.

Itssoeasy

Well it looks like snow is failing in cork city on the south mall on the news.

Just went to the shop. Normally a 3 or 4 minute walk. Wind is totally squalling and comingl at you in every direction. You can’t keep your eyes open, Way more like millions of tiny bits of ice attacking your face, deffo not graupel. Took about 10 minutes
Felt like tom crean:)

This in d7/Smithfield
