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!

I cannot decide if what is falling here is snow / sleet / hail / rain. everything? Dublin 5

PixelTrawler

That stuff falling in clonsilla that feels like rain is starting to clear the windscreen of the car parked outside. But its coating the back windows upstairs with fine ice. Odd stuff.

Starting to get proper snow now in Greystones

Wine Goddess

Just been outside in Firhouse Dublin 24 at foot of Dublin mountains, and it's crazy wild swirling spinning snow!
Big drifts already.
This is going to be an exceptional event.

Can someone tell we if we did not have any snow worries would Emma have been classed as a major wind event.

Calibos

For the Love of everything that is Holy, Will one of the experts please come here and reassure those of us repeatedly asking the question, "Will these poxy ice pellets that do not seem to accumulate other than a dusting stop, and will we get real snow because as it stands no one will have 1 metre in 24 hours time if its made up of these ice pellets!

more intense radar returns approaching E Leinster. Already some drifting here on walls/doors etc. Not worrying about marginality that much, think I could even push it to 1.0 - 1.5 degrees tomorrow morning with snow sticking to the pre-existing snow pack

Getting a bit fed up with the snow grains. Hoping we get the proper heavy snowflakes soon

County by county estimates of further snowfalls (on top of what is on the ground now) ...

Wicklow, Kildare ... 40 to 70 cm

Wexford ... 30 to 60 cm

Dublin ... 25 to 50 cm

Meath ... 20 to 40 cm

Louth ... 10 to 25 cm

eastern half NI ... 5 to 10 cm

Waterford, Carlow, Kilkenny, Laois ... 30 to 60 cm

Cork ... 20 to 50 cm

Kerry ... 5 to 30 cm

Limerick, Tipps, Clare ... 15 to 45 cm (generally heavier south)

Offaly, Westmeath, Longford, Roscommon, Galway ... 20 to 40 cm (generally heavier south Roscommon and east Galway)

Mayo, Sligo, Leitrim, Cavan, Monaghan ... 2 to 15 cm (15 more likely east and south)

Donegal ... 0 to 10 cm (higher amounts may be in sea effect bands northwest coast)

western Northern Ireland ... 2 to 15 cm (higher amounts towards south central NI)

______________________________________________

The ranges are large and maximum amounts will be on southeast facing slopes, in some cases a range north to south, this applies more to the northern counties, for Cork and Kerry a reduction in totals near sea level. Some of the other county variations more due to elevation than exposure to any particular direction, and of course a random factor always present with banding caused by upper level dynamics sometimes unrelated to the surface.

Could see 70 to 120 cm on top of higher summits. These estimates are for elevations where people are going to experience them.

Has the storm changed direction? D13 little wind and only rain no snow.

Are you sure its rain? Not saying you're wrong just you seem to be one of the only posters still reporting rain and theres nothing i the technical thread to suggest it should be anything other than snow

I can't believe up to a metre of snow in Dublin. I can't even contemplate that. It seems too far fetched for me to even think about that rationally. Some people are going to wake up to a big surprise in the morning as imagine most people won't really digest what 1 meter of snow means. I'm in Cork and 6 inches even seems far fetched to me.

I can't wait to see how high the drifts will be

lawred2

Still blowing this fine stuff in Portmarnock (constantly now for a couple of hours)

I am sure you are getting more given your elevation but getting to look very nice here as well. Need a bit of heavier snow later as per the models.

I'm rathmines but its just dust floating around. was able to drive up to the sallygap this evening so not that bad. Dublin mountains looked pretty fickle. 'storm in a tea-cup' as they say

Over in Ranelagh, its just a dusting at the moment. I figure its going to pick up a bit overnight.

I'm in Bristol. Stuck here until at least Saturday. There has been this very fine granular snow falling all day. Best description is similar to very dry sand blowing over wet sand on a beach when the tide is out. Maybe 2 inches lying at this stage. Hard to know what's going to happen, looks like the worst hasn't arrived or maybe won't. Have to say it's hard to know what's going to happen. Personally I feel the east coast of Ireland is going to get this really fine snow for quite some time tonight unless it picks up moisture from the Irish sea.

What time is the storm due in the west? Couldn't be any calmer here at the minute
