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 remember thinking last night that it may surpass the main event which indeed it has up to now in Cork.....bit confused as to why it hasn't kicked off here

One for the people complaining about the "unnecessary" warnings. This road was in perfect condition when Sky were live at around 6pm. Now if it wasn't for the crash barrier you wouldn't even know there was a 4 lane motorway there.

Insane blizzard here near Arklow continuing,the drifting is something else
Looking at the ditches from upstairs in the house I’d estimate 3 or 4 ft deep there and it’s only 11pm

Wind gusting over 50kmh NE
Air temp -0.4c
Dp -0.7c
Wet bulb -0.5c

Snow swirling up in air like a funnel

Mt was asking me the other day after commenting on a run did I still think was it Scottish research station tea and biscuits time

This now is looking more like helicopter blade freezing territory
Visibility very poor in this and it’s done all this in the space of a couple of hours with what 18 possibly 30 hrs to go
I’ll get me bread

It’s awesome looking at the drifts near the ditches spin up and pile up
Weather nerd heaven

Absoutely ferocious blizzard under way in Delgany now and has been building for for an hour. Continuous moderate to heavy snow and rapid build up. I HAVE A DRIFT:D:D:D:D:D

The precipitation does look whiter than earlier but still very small and kind of wet..

velux windows that were wet earlier are now completely covered, its building up fairly fast now.

Just ventured out into my backyard - there's a couple of feet of snow there already.

Well up past my wellys......

I'm actually getting worried for the morning now. I've 4 kids under the age of ten the youngest lad is 4.

I may get up at first light and start clearing a path.

The doors that open outwards are the worrying ones.

Between Naas and Blessington here.

That area is particularly bad. Brother-in-law was sending videos of the snow up past his knees earlier. Hang in there.

According to my fellas employer in galway it is, usual start time is 7am but it's been extended to 9am. He's a product builder in a factory, not exactly a paramedic or nurse

Tell them to take a hike, my other half collapsed this morning walking to work. Fell on to road and was out for ten min. A&E staff took the day to regulate temp and blood pressure. Don't take the chance. Emma a no show in Cork by the way. Way worse last night.

Live down south in the States, I've seen systems like this double that given the length and duration of the snow event up north USA.

What's that got to do with anything? There is no comparisons to be had at all with the USA. Totally different climates.

Just took a walk around dundrum shopping centre. If this is just the beginning then we're in for some serious weather. Pictures do no justice for the conditions out there.

Great pics........ The same photos taken at the same time tomorrow will be interesting........
