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 looking out the window and something black and plastic broke away from my roof area.
Only problem with that is there is nothing black and plastic on my roof?!

What do you have in your attic that is black and plastic?

Flakes of snow now noticeably bigger in D14. Still small but definitely snow as opposed to ice pellets now

Brought the dog for a walk around the estate. Epic snow and the dog had a ball bounding around. Don't know if it beats 2010 just yet.

Just braved a short walk and omg already it’s incredible in Naas. The wind is something else with snow getting more consistent.

East Co Kilkenny here and not much happened today. Had thawing and was probably a better day today weather wise, over yesterday. Wind picked up in the past 2 hours but nothing of significance. Snow outside remains at 2-3 inches.

Huh, I must have missed the post literally above mine in this incredibly fast moving thread. Sorry to inconvenience you.

I really don't know what's going on, rural North Cork/South Limerick border here, got a good lashing of snow for a couple of hours this evening, then suddenly stopped

Sleety rain in D14 as far as I can see (lamppost watching). Was wondering whether this was it for us, but hopefully it will start proper snowing soon. Fierce enough wind, though.

Storm hasn't hit, as far as I can tell. That's what the red warning is, well, warning against.

Other countries experience this type of event more frequently, and so are better prepared.

Just watched BBC News, cars and trucks stuck for 18 hrs on one road; getting on with it?

homeless with no place to go on the south coast!!!

Was heading off to bed there and was having one last look out the front door window when some man came literally stumbling zig zagging all over the road twisted drunk!! Seriously feared for his safety so I legged it and got my coat and boots on and grabbed the dog and followed him home caught up with him fast and found his house, but he really couldn't put two words together. Had to open the door for him. Silly people out there.

Getting deeper here in Bray North, covered another step outside a neighbors door I can see from the kitchen, think 2 steps covered tonight so far. Don't know what the other lad from Bray is looking out at, must live in a house sheltered from the drifting snow.

Snow levels/drifts increasing rapidly.

RiseToMe

Santry - not going out to check but ground floor balcony, facing into wind, have just realised that the drift collected is in fact from ground right up to window sill, so just above knee height.

I know this has been asked a few times but may have missed the answers. When is Storm Emma due to hit Dublin? Or has it hit yet? There's a bit of wind and constant light snow where I am, but wouldn't consider it too stormy.

In done here now . Been an unreal few weeks tracking this and can't believe it came off !!!! Happy Xmas to all the Snow Bunnies :@ Massive thanks to all the posters who posted charts and explanations of them .

Agree with Gaoith Laidirs request in technical thread too

Any explanation as to what is causing the power outages? Wind damage or something else?

Large power outage near Wicklow town. 9000+ customers affected

Seems to be the only outage with a restroe time that's within a few hours. All the rest - 8pm tomorrow.

Luckily only a few hours of that won't be daylight. Benefit of this happening in March.

Outage down the road from us here too. I have everything on charge topping up.
