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.

Newsnight on BBC reporting about the snow.

joes girls · 01-03-2018 11:37PM

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

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

Is Waterford still on for getting more snow? Since 5pm anything I've seen looks considerably more like sleet than what we had previous

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.

But ...it is covering and imo it’s a good base layer for what’s to come it’s sticking to everything—- I did try and find the type of specific snow but I couldn’t https://nsidc.org/cryosphere/snow/science/types.html

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!

polydactyl · 01-03-2018 11:39PM

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)

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.

BLIZZARD7 · 01-03-2018 11:40PM

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...

leinad · 01-03-2018 11:40PM

Been snowing steady in Rathdrum since 5pm - it's like very small icy snow with high winds

Sariah · 01-03-2018 11:40PM

Ok so that rain i posted earlier about in D24 mustn't have been actual rain because there is a 2foot deep pile of snow beside my car.

konman · 01-03-2018 11:40PM

There has been alot of continous snowfall here, albeit light mostly from mid-day to 6pm but it all seem to evaporate on impact. it was -1 at its warmest. Could anyone more knowledgable explain this?

Because adverse conditions bring people down to Earth and make us all feel a little smaller than the rat race. It's also brings out certain things in people like cooperation, self-reliance and the concept that other things rather than a job can be concentrated on if only for a day or two.

jo06555 · 01-03-2018 11:41PM

Sorry for ignorance but what exactly does that mean for Waterford with red line ?

Whiplashy · 01-03-2018 11:41PM

Just stuck my head out the window again. Nothing happening here at the moment, but there's been a good top up to the ground coverage since I last checked. I'm guessing we now have about the same amount I woke up to yesterday morning, and we had a really good thaw throughout yesterday and today. Tipp/Kilkenny border. Oh, and there's about the usual amount of traffic on the road, and they're going slow but not crawling, so we really haven't anything impressive. I'm guessing about a CM. I'm happy we've got a top up though. I was worried it'd all be gone by morning. I wanna build a snowman

allthedoyles · 01-03-2018 11:42PM

There is a new name on the storm - its called bombogenesis

Pentecost · 01-03-2018 11:42PM

Fine stuff is accumulating slowly but surely here. No melting and the paths and the road are now a level sea of white and it’s still coming down. D6W. Like someone pouring a bag of sugar from the sky.

Yep, I cleared a window sill early, just made a snowball with the 'rain' we just got. Can confirm that it is wet snow and sticks like glue, not like the powder stuff from the last few days.

MidMan25 · 01-03-2018 11:42PM

Turned 30 today, as a snow lover living in Cork this is an amazing birthday present and definitely making my day a memorable one!

bennyl10 · 01-03-2018 11:43PM

Guys look aT radars..
The storm hasn't even fully passed France yet!
Isn't doing so until the early hours..
This is only the soft beginning!!

Delighted! Wouldn't usually be such a fan, but the way I see it now we have enough of it that I want it to go the whole hog!

patneve2 · 01-03-2018 11:43PM

People getting confused by the drifting nature of the snow pellets I think. Have about 13cm in the garden and about 1 cm in the yard so that says it all. Heavier ppn approaching

Is it supposed to intensify? Looks a bit dry on radar.
