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 really hope not Sryan:) I'm a bit older than you though:o

Anyway congrats to you all. I'm not even there and I am excited reading the posts

But you did do a snow dance .... it’s all your fault

Slashermcguirk

Stepped out in dublin 5 (raheny) and the snow is hammering down, hard to see the snow in the massive gusts but straight after stepping out, covered in white gold. Can hardly see across the street!

DominoDub

Live close to the docklands a few floors up and my view of the tower crane (SOBO along the liffey ) is starting to fade ..so we are looking like go for more intense snow.

I used to have a wall at the end of my garden. :eek:

Cheers.

Must say some of you who are looking more at the more subtle climatology - and you in particular - called this event from a long way off, months not weeks.

Major kudos where they're due to you, MT, GL, and a few others I'm forgetting to name for sure.

Just heard Siobhan Ryan on the radio saying she expects the worst to be over... by Saturday night!!!

duffman13

Some serious drifts happening at the moment in Clondalkin. My wall is just over 4 foot and it's half way up, back garden is worse.

You must be joking? I live close to the seafront in Bray, just walked out onto the street, and footsteps from when I last checked an hour ago are now gone.

These small snowflakes are causing decent accumulations, and are building steadily for what’s to come.

If you look at the radar, only a tiny piece of this storm has currently passed over the Bray/Shankill area, there’s hours of this to go.

I’m confident we’ll get falls that are not too far from the predicted meter.

I dont know what he's on about either, I just walked across the road to Aldi up on the Boghall, the snow in the carpark is a foot deep in places, nearly total whiteout, my footprints were gone as I walked back ten minutes later aswell, this is unprecedented, 12 more hours of this?!

secman

Dublin 24, looking at car you wouldn't think much has happened but my back garden has huge drifts of Snow, I have four steps up to a raised garden and you can't see the steps at all. At its deepest I'd say it's easily over 1.5 feet if not 2 foot and with plenty to come. Non event my arse ! The car won't accumulate snow on it due to strong wind blowing the fine Snow, hence the drifts.

Greystones is getting lashed out of it,so close to bray

By all accounts your getting the same as us in bray, from what I’ve heard from people down there anyway

United road

I just cant take all this in! Never in my wildest dreams.............
Truly a once in a lifetime event in these shores you feel.

Massive call out to all the boards regulars for calling this so early and posting charts and explaining them in a way i can grasp the concept!

This forum is class, but on a big event nite it’s incredible.
Best compliment i can pay all the regular posters and the mods.........

I recall joining boards in 2011 after another snow event for Ireland that failed to materialise.
I was disgusted it went pear shaped so late in the day, i ranted, raved, suggested MT was delusional and i acted the spoilt brat and rightly was banned for a few days after too much mouthy comments (Lumi ahem!)
Yet i came back, was in fact welcomed back, and 7 years on im still here, still no clue of charts but know who the top guys are to follow, i would not miss weather on boards ever!
You guys really rock!

Future is bright too .......... Sbryan

Storm Emma, its making me in to some sort of wuss..... oh well!!

Sparks43

City centre is all grainy snow. But it has the feeling of seriously big stuff about to drop at any moment.

Also seen some of the biggest icicles I've ever seen. So big that I broke them down incase then split some poor git open.

Bit of late fun

tbayers

Cleared this at 6 this evening thinking it would be ok to cover night, how wrong was I. This is south facing door too btw.

Current view in Ballygunner, Waterford.

That hazy look is just constant, light snow driving sideways.

jamo2oo9

Popped outside for a bit to see what it was like as windows weren't too clear. Door is frozen shut with ice!

allthedoyles

I reckon about 2 inches of snow in SW Wexford so far , its steady very light flakes

Every time I read another post about accumulations of the heavy 'fine' snow I pop my head out the Velux....

.....nope.......still just a dusting on the roads in my corner of Bray.

This deeper red blob out in the Irish sea better deliver the good stuff

Xanax yet to kick in.

Greystones is getting lashed out of it,so close to bray

Sam Quentin

Windy here with sharp fast gusts and snow still falling, depth rising slowly.
Dundalk.

patneve2

Raging blizzard, sheets of it battering the dalkey coast. No exaggeration

Strong Life in Dublin

It doesn't seem to be snowing much in D24, but I just looked out my back garden and I kid you not there must be over 1 foot of snow and I don't think its from drifts because its flat, the drifts against my wall are definitely higher than a foot.

Saganist

Copious amounts falling here.

dublinwolf

In D14, snow is really, really heavy here with severe winds and ice. I would say almost 2 feet outside in my garden and on the main road. Have been window watching, already seen someone with no helmet or jacket riding a moped and a van crash in the last half hour!

After that brief excursion outside... have decided to treat myself to a glass of whiskey in honour of Met Eireann and the Boards weather folks who called this so long back. I was so impressed with how early Ophelia was caught and modelled and same again with this - it must be more than a week ago when I first read about it here?

Luckily I've a good employer and also I'm not in a frontline role so I don't have to worry about getting in tomorrow.

Huge respect for the front line services who are at their posts now and will be in the morning.

I really hope other employers in affected areas, or with staff from affected areas, belatedly exercise cop on and let people stay home.

In this weather minor things can become major emergencies - a slip, a skid, a fall can lead to serious complications and they're always more likely to happen when people are under pressure.

Conversely, if people are able to enjoy a rare occurrence like the one we're having right now, the memories can be magical and last a lifetime.

No pump to move the water, put a large pot of water on top heat will transfer to the cold pot of water, reducing the heat and pressure in the back boiler

Just run the hot water tap to release the pressure

Meath Road. I can still see the tire marks of the last car an hour ago literally half the length of the Meath Road away!

Without taking the thread off topic at all, are you expecting this solar minimum to be more drastic than the last (where we had two memorable snow events in the same year, but nothing much else of a similar scale)?

Going by what I've seen and some of my own reanalysis, most certainly.
