Light snow just restarted in Galway city and from the looks of the radar we have hours of light, moderate and heavy to come.

sdanseo · 01-03-2018 10:39PM

Latest Harmonie on Met forecast very clear. Major increase in intensity in the next few hours.

What we're getting now is pretty much the lowest possible intensity on the radar. 0.5mm/hr leq

It looks like rain, feels like rain, and is so minute that it melts on impact, so people think it's rain.

Here in Enniscrone West Sligo 0(zero) mm of snow 😩. Do we think Emma can stretch her Snow arms this far north ?

Connacht is included in the latest blizzard warning.

OK igloo it is tomorrow. Might as well be productive &#55356;&#56343;

If it really is a meter of snow overnight in Dublin it will look like we're living in igloos anyway

Well if you get less than a metre you'll just have to make do

The increase in temperature for tomorrow.

Very fine snow in Swords. Almost drizzly

NIMAN · 01-03-2018 10:40PM

It's very windy up here at the top of the country, but no snow falling.

So is there actually still valid concerns that this may turn out to be rain?

Fresh reports of rain again in areas of Dublin in the general thread.

George Sunsnow · 01-03-2018 10:40PM

Well that was a memorable forecast anyway from siobhán

Copious quantities falling here near Arklow as it is
Absolutely lashing down ,I wouldn’t be surprised to have thunder shortly!

Standard Toaster · 01-03-2018 10:40PM

Copious

Halpenny · 01-03-2018 10:41PM

you know it's gonna be unreal - she said copious three times !

East Co. Carlow here- about 10cm of snow on ground. We have that very fine snow now. Sounds like rain when you listen to it but it's white on a black fleece sleeve! And it's covered all our footprints from earlier.

We’re on the wicklow border so was hoping we would get a good amount but there’s barely been a dusting all evening.

Lads,lads,lads it's not raining, it's baby snow. The grown up snow is on the way.

Classic

The amount of moaners on this thread is unreal.The red warning in Meath was totally justified there was cars getting stuck in snow that was coming over the tops of bonnets and drifts well over 1m deep in open areas especially at gateways into fields the snow spilled out onto the roads...I’ve never seen anything like it even as a regular to the Austrian alps to ski.

uck51js9zml2yt · 01-03-2018 10:42PM

If my kids go outside tomorrow one of them will be covered in snow if a metre falls.

munsterlegend · 01-03-2018 10:42PM

Have to say Hirlam spot on for my location so far anyway with light accumulating snow. The orange sky is something to behold.

Is it flakes down there or the fine icy dust that's been blowing around George?

Saganist · 01-03-2018 10:42PM

Cleared the small drift at the back door today, then when the front tip of Emma started it looked like rain hitting the back door. I just had to reclear the back door. About 5cm already... And this is the RAIN. !

Corbally · 01-03-2018 10:42PM

Between Athy and Stradbally. Zero snow in the last 3 hours. The wind is a bit gusty.
I've been waiting for hours and I'm still hopeful

I’m thinking the rain isn’t rain.

JCX BXC · 01-03-2018 10:44PM

How strange, I can faintly see the moon here in West Clare.

wicklowdub · 01-03-2018 10:44PM

Significant increase in intensity now in Greystones, about 2-3 mm fall in last 30 mins. Still very fine stuff.

His commentary:

"Literally a foot deep (well, at least over the top of my wellies, as my feet currently confirm). Awesome scenes beside the frozen River Tone, like daytime in the snowfields. And still snowing heavily.
I never thought I'd say this, but even if it's all over by Sunday, this beats both winter 1981-2 in W Germany and December 2010 in the Blackdowns. This is extreme."

MayoSalmon · 01-03-2018 10:44PM

Spent many years in Boston and the current conditions match any snow storms I have experienced over there. Obviously more snow dropped there but the winds is something I never experienced.

Wouldn't be surprised if this tops the record books when all said and done.
