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!

Was just out in the garden in D14, these Ice pellets as people call them, I prefer snow grains, have added atleast and inch in the last hour...

Still awaiting snow apocalypse here in Clonmel. Very light dusting, enough to cover a small matchstick. It's not actually snowing at all at the moment.

We have lost depth in D9 from wind and the ice pellets just blowing away. Am giving up lamp post watching for the night hoping for a nice surprise in the morning (or at one of the babies wake ups in the middle of the night)

I’m stumped I’ve droplets on my lamppost watching window. All the tracks from earlier are covered- dark fleece test - well it melts so damn fast

I'm finding it very disconcerting that none of the resident experts want to answer the question about how anywhere could hope to get 1 metre accumulations from these crappy ice pellets. 3 hours of it belting down near the seafront in bray and the road is still only dusted.

I have this terrible feeling that I'm going to wake in the morning, look out the Velux and exclaim, "You've got to be ****ing kidding me!?!?!"........and not in a good way!

Will definitely get more not that we need it after today. Great drifting going on with strengthening wind. Gusting up to 60 kph so far.

Whehey!

Why do people want huge amounts of snow?

So I can go down hilly Holly in a canoe tomorrow.

After bringing the dog out to do his pee wee, I can report that I am snowed in, a massive bank of Snow is sitting where my road should be.
Still Snowing heavy here, God I can't wait till morning to see it all in daylight

Newsnight on BBC reporting about the snow.

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!

Tried asking in the boffins thread but they deleted my post. Same here in D.16.

Will they be treating roads tomorrow morning? Have to drive from Dublin to Wexford tomorrow!

Up to 2 foot of snow forecast for the region,I don't think you'll be getting to Wexford. Keep an eye on the local authorities social media reports.

Restore time for all the ESB outages is 8pm tomorrow. They've obviously told crews not to go out in red warning.

Sure the red warning is in effect till 6pm tomorrow.

Where in D18? We just have light wind and what is DEFINITELY rain in Ballybrack.
Slush, slush and more slush on the roads.
Think its a non event here anyway.

Just up by Cabinteely park, the grains in the wind here are not rain, it does melt on windows because of the warmth escaping! I have my drink out in a black bag in the garden to keep cool and every time I go out there is a fresh layer of snow on it so I can be 100% sure it's not rain here!

Funny, there is a power outage in a place called Pelletstown

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.

Electricity just gone in south Dublin.

Doubt the esb will be out to fix it anytime soon :pac:

Really? A big section of houses have lost power?

One thing is - with this wind, if the flakes get bigger the accumulations will be huge.

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.

I'm in Dublin 5. Not too far away. I'm no expert but the good stuff looks like it's an hour away. Over the Irish see at the moment & it's stretching to southern England.

I'd imagine I'll be in bed when the real fun starts but it'll still be snowing by the time I get up in the morning.
