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!

Wow. I wish I lived 'on the hill with no eyes'.

This is downright incredible outside near Arklow now,there’s a line of snow along an exposed wall in the yard here that’s piled up about 2 feet deep! Snow is going very fast sideways
And this is only beginning :eek:

Looking at Arklow on https://www.tiitraffic.ie/cams/ Absolutely incredible stuff.

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

What do you mean basically just rain? Rain doesn't cause white accumulations...

35cm fallen since yesterday in a sheltered part of the garden!

And about 2 miles from you only 0.5 cm of new accumulation since Tuesday night, and that didn't even make up for reduction of depth through thawing or wind blowing it away !

Light snow on the border between Tipp and Limerick, been falling now for an hour or two.

Even this light stuff is causing big accumulations in sallins

Can't believe we are going to get heavier stuff. It's going to be amazing to see

Bit scary !

Planning to climb out a window in the morning to take a pic of the snow drift up against the front door !

So, this has to be said..
I am not Irish, but from continental Europe, and yes, I was one of the people making fun of the country shutting down when there was an inch of snow.. Even remember sitting in a plane in Dublin airport to be told , the flight was cancelled because of snow on the runway.. At most there was a dusting.

But what I have witnessed in the past 36 hours or so, I have not witnessed in any of the countries I lived in, including Sweden, Germany and Poland. Not saying it doesn't happen in those countries , but I have never experienced it.
The amount and intensity of accumulation is simply beyond belief and I am really happy my daughter can experience this in her childhood.

This weather system would have shut down Germany as much as it has Ireland. I understand the red weather warning may have inconvenienced people in parts of the country where there was no snow, but I am sure it has saved at least one life in this country so far and that should be worth any inconvenience.

Right now the winds have picked up a bit more and we have very fine snow , but can't say if that is actually falling snow or snow blowing in from the fields. That is near Kells in Meath. I have about 40 cm of snow on the grass. And I love it !!

I'm not far from Arklow here in Wexford and it's the same, I can't stop looking at it

And look at this percip waiting in the wings off Wales. This thing is relentless.

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.

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

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

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.

Sligo has survived with zero snow today. Piss of snow

sean555

I wonder where are all the " this is nothing, sure it isn't going to snow at all and it's all media hype" merchants now?
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?

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.

I think we all need lessons on what rain is.
