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!

I just was out with the dog for 5 minutes, what hit my face and the window was 99% rain 1% snow

All day my car has been parked and it has about a half a cm of snow on it from the whole day

If it was 99% rain there would be nothing there. Rain melts snow.

Maybe we need an expert thread, a normal thread and a thread for beginners.

Why do people want huge amounts of snow?

So we can throw massive amounts of snowballs.

How far out is that big blob heading towards Leinster do people reckon? 90 mins or so?

I wish people would stop calling them trolls. They are simply misinterpreting the precipitations fine nature, the water running down their windows and little to no accumulation as rain like literally 50 or 60 people before them.

I'm frankly fuming that after 3 hours of this ice pellet sh*te there is only a dusting on the road. I'll be lucky to have 4 or 5 cm in 24 hours if this ice pellet crap is all we get.

Thank you!

I do apologies if it’s not rain but it does look like rain on the window. Its more frustration cause there’s no build up of snow thanks to these ice pellets.

Dublin 12- went out for a walk at about midday and have been inside ever since. Bf has to work in the morning (prison officer, so no snow day) but I forced him to leave now and sleep there so he wouldn't have to drive at 7am tomorrow. Snow throughout the day was steady but light, didn't think there'd been much cover, but when he went out to clear his car we could see our deep ankle- high footprints from earlier had been completely covered. So excited to see what tomorrow brings (even though I'll be working from home)...defo sleeping with the curtains open tonight!!

Yea, funny thing about deep footprints being covered, that happened here too (stones throw from D12), but the overall measured depth of the snow decreased and there was only 0.5 cm of fresh cover on the cars where they had been cleared. Must be something to do with snow blowing around rather than actually falling from the sky during that period.

brief precipitation lull in Portmarnock... Wind still howling though

revelman

The wind has really started to build here on the south Cork coast over the last 30 minutes or so. There is only a little bit of precipitation now but the wind is skimming off some of the 20cm of snow that was already on the ground and creating very interesting drifts around my house. It is like something from the movies. The howling wind is a bit eerie to be honest...

Any idea when the big stuff hits Waterford city ? Steady flows of light sizzle stuff but nothing major ..

this light stuff is adding to the depth of the snow here in tramore and it seems to be at a faster rate than the streamers from the east.

Go out with a black jumper on and come back in and look at your sleeves, its snowing everywhere in dublin

Its very strange acting precipitation though, the ground is clearly accumulating in D14 (only by a little bit, mind) but the car outside my house which was cleared of snow earlier in the day is still snow free now.

Agreed its white but not convinced its snow!

Maybe they're all in Belmullet since that looks to be one of the few places that won't be buried have at least 20 cms tomorrow.
Also that guy from the Botanic Gardens with his Met ie contact?

forgot about him. Hope his daffodils are ok

They said on the news South Dublin could get a metre, it's been snowing all evening but it basically just rain it's not proper snow at all . I doubt we will see anything bar a few inches

I think we all need lessons on what rain is.

Why do people want huge amounts of snow?

All calm here in Westport.

Sleet/snow mix in Dundalk has turned more to 'proper' snow in the last few minutes. Getting heavier too.

You need to fire up paint and do one of your angry snow pics. Seemed to be thereputic in 2010 !

I'm in south west Dublin if that counts

(Drimnagh). Looks like rain on the window and against the light from the streetlights but I stood out in it about 20 mins ago, and just now I stuck my arm out the window. Definitely teeny tiny snow.

Has anybody in 'south dublin' got a microscope to clarify if this white mist is actually snow crystals or not

Go out with a black jumper on and come back in and look at your sleeves, its snowing everywhere in dublin
