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!

Just a quick important update that I think we're somewhere between Stage 4 and 5 right now, major risk of a full-blown Stage 5 tomorrow:

Gotta say it was over hyped................
Red alert from 4pm yesterday and it's 1.30am Fri morning and not a thing has happened here in north kilkenny just lying snow from wed.
Light graupel falling that's it.

The met eirheann like the government haven't a clue................

Im near Tullaroan, it is sowing lightly for 4 or 5 hours consistently. I believe people are expecting typical wet snow and underestimating the accumulative effect of dry powdered snow when coupled with this much wind and the longevity of the system

4,400 houses out of power in Wicklow town, they’re saying 8pm tomo for crews out,not ideal.

Better to have everyone safe rather than passing by and ignoring others....

This 18Z radiosonde sounding from Larkhill in southern England shows a very heavy snow setup. Cold surface layer but deep warm saturated inversion just below zero, meaning a lot of precipipitable water content. 850 hPa temperature and dewpoint were both just -1.6 , but as the whole profile is below zero it just shows that in some cases -1 is enough for snow.

A Major Incident has been declared in Avon and Somerset this evening as a result.

Most of Avon & Somerset was in a red warning. People had absolutely no business being outdoors.

No government announcement or equivalent to the NECC in the UK it seems. Everything left down to UKMO for people to ignore.

North Kilkenny- no snow tonight- have been waiting up to see a blizzard- really windy but no snow- can't believe it.

loads of heavy snow around cork city, but all dies out before getting here or moves off to the west.

skeleton_boy

Anything of interest to happen in Cork soon? Should I stay up or get some sleep and enjoy what comes in the morning? Calm and dry here at the moment

aisling86

Would anyone like to guestimate the time difference between these two bands for cork? Reckon it's a good opportunity to sleep!

Tragically 9 dead and 100s currently stranded in their cars in Britain.

Tragic, I bet those related to the dead wish the British Government were as cautious as our own.

SweetCaliber

Might try get out soon and take a vid, winds are too strong at the moment, from what I can see we arent even at the worst in Tramore, plenty more to come by the looks of the radar, oh dear.

Spectacular in Dublin 15...drifting snow everywhere....blizzard....

otherfrog

Sitting in bed looking out the window and struggling to believe what I'm seeing.

It's difficult to make out the houses on the other side of the street - the snow is like a rapid sideways fog outside - so I guess this is a blizzard.

One thing I can make out is the lamp post wobbling back and forth in the wind.

Absolutely no doubt that record is going to be flattened.

I can't get over the fact that this is happening in March.

It certainly is not safe to travel from where I am living, it may be different in the northern half of the county.

No. Definitely not here in Cavan. You can’t see the roads from footpaths in the town and it’s blowing a gale with snow. It’s confusing these warnings. People will think it’s downgraded. I think they downgraded too soon up here. They forget we have hills. BIG hills!!!

It would be more useful if people could provide information on the accumulations rather than snow type.

Here it's mounting up. Still relatively fine snow though.

No idea of the accumulation Kermit as it’s blowing all over the place but I’ve 3ft+drifts in yard,bigger in the open fields,way up the ditches

Have the accompanying winds been downgraded?

I believe so outside of costal areas

HelloMrSnowman

Gonna venture out and measure some different areas around the garden at 2 o'clock, looks to be increasing by the minute,

Just back from an hour long walk around Limerick. Beautiful out there, about an inch or two of fine powder coating everything and falling slowly still.

Here in north coastal Dublin 4 hours of snow has left 1cm or 2 on the ground. I don’t think it’s going to get more intense in the next hour so off to bed with me.
