Not quite. That’s a good 30km away at least.

Low temps, weight of snow, freezing H20 makes lines less flexible etc

I'm just wondering are people possibly overloading networks in some areas too with a lot of electric heating loads.

For those of us expected in work tomorrow I presume it's reasonable to say now I won't be able to make it in. I live a 20 minute drive away

sdanseo · 02-03-2018 01:38AM

Taking Cavan and Monaghan out of the red warning seems like an error of judgement to me. They are very likely to see in excess of 8cm more.

Delighted for you , you waited long enough

Dublin 24.....will post photos

The radar shows continuous high snow there for some reason.

Slashermcguirk · 02-03-2018 01:39AM

Insane wind and snow in raheny. Accumulating fast

Depends where you are. Most councils have said that they won't be gritting/clearing roads until tomorrow afternoon.

HelloMrSnowman · 02-03-2018 01:40AM

Good report right now on Sky News right now on both Ireland and England regarding storm Emma

Where are you? I doubt roads will be open in dublin tomorrow morning. Could easily make up an excuse your road/cul de sac is impassable anyway even if the council are continually gritting main roads tonight

Pelting down in East Galway again

U in Loughrea?

murpho999 · 02-03-2018 01:41AM

Real heavy snow in Bray now and not forecast to stop until Saturday acccording to the apps I use. That's an incredible amount of snowfall.

seamus · 02-03-2018 01:41AM

This is fairly insane here in D16. About 25cm of accumulation on my garden table, drifts have started crawling up my hallway windows. About 12-16 inches now I'd say.

And the main show is only just about to begin. Suddenly concerned about food and electricity.

A picture from Waterford a little while ago. Fine snow driving sideways. It's cool!

bobbysands81 · 02-03-2018 01:42AM

Met Éireann has just changed the warnings again.

Red for Munster, Leinster and Galway.

Orange for Cavan, Donegal, Leitrim, Monaghan, Mayo, Roscommon and Sligo.

Both until 6pm Friday.

Nah. That kind of stuff is easily manageable.

Maybe for the next weather event automatic bans can be handed out for posters that write off an event before it has even started . Would certainly make it easier to navigate the threads and a lot less annoying to read.
Anyway it's snowing in Dublin now so Red advisory is accepted I guess

Its been snowing in Dublin all day.

Snowed all day in Monaghan Town. Albeit a light fall at times, but falling on accumulated snow. Main roads treacherous as I was out and about 2 hours ago. Very strange downgrade and wind starting to pick up now.

Mind me asking where in D16? I'm Just off Sandyford Road and still seems like the ice pellet/fine grain kinda stuff to me?

Continuous blizzard now in Delgany....piling up at a remarkable rate.
+1 to someone who tipped hat to sryanbruen for spotting this so early

irlgw · 02-03-2018 01:44AM

Went into Dublin city centre for a packet of lemonsips. very driveable and about 20 taxis operating. not much snow around high buildings but whipping up around intersections. you def don't want to be walking in it and some people couldn't hold on to the floor although they might have been otherwise impaired!. snow looks deep in places but really isn't. One pub open on wexford street. bring a brolly if you must walk in as it would be useful for identifying drunks under the snow

beefburrito · 02-03-2018 01:44AM

Just left a big piece of plywood leaning against my front door, don't want it falling into my halway in the morning...the snow that is.....

optogirl · 02-03-2018 01:45AM

D7. Been pelting down with the small icy snow for hours and the depth has risen slowly but considerably. Drops look more like flaky snow now. Have a feeling we won't be able to open the doors tomorrow. Mesmerising to watch and go out into briefly!

Ol' Donie · 02-03-2018 01:45AM

Why did I think it was meant to ease off after 11pm?

The back garden is getting absolutely mullered here (Tallaght).

Never seen accumulations like this.

Assetbacked · 02-03-2018 01:45AM

Just back from the roof; the gusts are the problem, it makes it difficult to get comfortable and can lull you into a false sense of security. There are good boundaries though so no issue of actually blowing off.

Visibility is not too bad as the snow is still light. There was a consistent lathering of it on the roof earlier today but now it has all blown into two corners of the roof, remarkable how this has happened. There is just a pile of snow up to my knee in a corner of the roof while other parts have no more snow. Exciting and exhilarating, pics not great unfortunately!

Kermit.de.frog · 02-03-2018 01:45AM

Really coming down now.

No words! It's just awesome
