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!

Struggling to see across the street any more. Probably because I’m quite pissed now but there’s also driving snow. (D6W)

Love your honesty there, but visibility is quite bad too due to snowfall as you say. :P

You in the Shadow of Mount Leinster?

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

You said you were in East Kilkenny. As the crow flies you're much closer than 30 km from Mount Leinster, surely?

Have four cats kept in since midday and they're due to burrow through wall right about now!!!

Very poor forecast. Eight hours since supposed curfew and no sign!
Millions lost to economy with road maintenance suspended.

They cried wolf!
It'll fall on deaf ears next time!

Just about this. It was not a curfew but a warning and advice. Big difference.

Rest of your poor post can be torn apart by others.

It's utter chaos here in Celbridge... Total blizzard, no visibility. They may lift the stay at home ban at 6pm tomorrow but there will have to be some serious thaw before going anywhere on Saturday!!

Not sure how to describe Tramore, the snow is piled in gardens and such, in my garden it is up past my knees and my neighbours garden it is nearly level with his boundry wall. There is easily 2 - 3 foot. Considering I am at sea level this really is one for the history books.

Being hit bad I mean? As we have seen today it can be quite localized.

Galway rural SE poster...have had light to medium snow fall here for 4 hours on top of last nights fall. Roads blocked due snow drifts. Current hirim seems to push further north so ME red warning justified..we are further south than north Clare which was red anyway..I know that natural bounderies like counties have to be used but large counties like Galway which have two different topologies may justified in being split

Seeing lightning flashes in North Dublin, no thunder tho.

Mullaghteelin

The blue flashes people have been seeing are probably transformers blowing, not lightning.

Sorry its snowed here in Newbridge since 8:30 this morning , the only wolf crying will be the ones stuck under the snow

Sure here too, about 10 inches. No problem. But to shut whole country down for system approaching just now is backward.

They could of had rolling red warning zones. The storm traversing slowly.

I don't want to derail the thread but the issue is severe weather related.

Honestly, could a night or two in a shelter that is supervised with hot food be any worse than freezing to death on the streets? These people have bigger issues than worrying about being in a hostel. If that's judgmental so be it. It's the truth in weather like

Back to the snow now! Still pelting down here and I swear it's gone a further couple of cms already. Cannot see the trees in the park out the back anymore. Visibility is reducing fast!

there was a guy on joe Duffy living in a car with smashed windows,joe and all others trying to help and no budging him.
terrible sad to listen too,thinking of him tonight

Virginia snow machine is still going full belt. Serious stuff

Overloading wouldn't generally be an issue for networks at times like this as any factories or industrial properties are all closed that would normally be open. As much as people think heaters etc have big loads they aren't comparable to factories standard loads. Christmas day and Stephens day have the lowest electricity consumption in the year which shows the effect industry has

They'd be very unlikely to overload at medium voltage distribution line level, I'm thinking more just local lines. I know we had a fuse blow out at Xmas twice due to just too many ovens on along one street.

Most of the faults on the site seem to be very local 10s of homes.

yeah near there.. blackglen road, other side of lamb doyles.

Wrong. You can easily blow your 63a fuse in your house by having heavy inductive loads on at the same time. An example would be your cooker and electric shower. It may not overload the network outside your house but it will blow the fuse in your main switch fuse unit, leaving you in the dark.

Don't be so quick to judge.
Some of those people are avoiding the emergency beds because they have had terrible experiences in emergency accomodation before.

Can hear the wind roaring now in Stoneybatter. If that’s not a blizzard what is. You can’t even open your eyes in it.

Unbelievable snow now in dublin 5. Hypnotic to watch. Drifts climbing my garden wall
