    I think the red warning for donegal, which was to run to 3pm tomorrow like the rest of the country, has been brought back to 6am, so it looks like they think we will be grand in the morning.

    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'd be in the same area and nothing but a very fine powder blowing about..

    Hopefully some heavy stuff to come

    Well, other than the odd little sprinkle today. Never close to giving us a covering. But I'm mindful of how Castlebar got coated yesterday afternoon in less than an hour
    Anyway - my weather app (Weather & Radar) tells me light snow will start at around 22.30 and will keep falling through to morning (and it's usually very accurate) - So - I'm not giving up on the hope of waking to a white wonderland. :)

    Has anyone here ever made an igloo?
    Believe it or not but myself, the missus and a few friends were talking about it earlier and planning to try it tomorrow, if we manage to make something resembling an igloo I'll write the BOARDS.IE INN at the front of it and post a pic. :D

    where's the wind?

    It's been howling down my chimney all evening, loudest since I've moved in. Maybe I'm getting it all. Pain in the ass to maintain a nice low fire.

    A blob of 15mm/hr about to hit Cardiff head on. Keep a close eye on reports cloming out of there. Currently reporting moderate snow, temperature -3, dewpoint -3. Very good signs for us.

    http://en.allmetsat.com/metar-taf/united-kingdom-ireland.php?icao=EGFF

    For those who want to follow, look at the block of code halfway down on the left and pick out the SN report. Moderate is no + or -, e.g. light would be -SN, heavy +SN, the UK also use BLSN which is blowing snow, look for -/ + with this report also.

    Light snow in County Limerick now.

    The Stillorgan Dual Carriageway (N11) looks treacherous

    Get a mold like a rectangular builders mortar bin, 20l, 30l or 40l. Pack the snow in, turn it upside down and you have a ready made brick. You@ll get the hang of how eell you have to pack the stuff after a couple of goes.

    Igloos are blocks of snow cut from a particular type of snow, there's no guarantee that the snow around you is the real deal, but a mold will help.

    One of these...

    Videos on the net will show you how to taper it up to make a beehive roof. Watering it afterwards helps to "preserve" it and solidify it. They can collapse, so be careful.

    Equivalent of 9 inches of rain, ah hardly!

    When the snow melts expect floods along the Dodder. Huge amount of snow up in its catchment area.

    Honestly. With this wind, its not the top of the car I would be looking at. Because of the wind, I'd be looking for drifts building along the side of the car.

    according to net weather, all the heavier snow is blowing left of cork city just missing us. Stuck with the misty light snow for now.
    That seems a bit hit and miss.

    Much milder here in Portmarnock +2C , very windy with powdery snow/sleet, certainly no accumulation of snow given the high temperature. There would have to be a dramatic shift at this stage to turn it into a metre of snow.

    Starting to accumulate in South east Kerry.
    Light snow but bit by bit is turning the landscape white.
    Increasing intensity in the last 20 minutes.

    I was wondering about the wind too. We are on an elevated spot here on the south Cork coastline (battered by the wind on an ordinary day not to mention something like Ophelia) but there is nothing at all special about the wind tonight, in fact it is less than usual so far. I'm a bit confused - has Emma actually arrived yet or are something like Emma's sneezes hitting us first?

    Btw, it has stopped snowing here and has gone back to dropping diamonds/crystal meth from the sky.
