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!

Exact same thing happened during storm Ophelia, too. Whatever it is, something isn't right with the grid connection out there.

Could be a weak point at a critical juncture.

So any chance of a lecky lend “neighbor” ??

Do I see potential rain heading for Rosslare on the netweather radar? Is that still accurate, think someone said earlier it was being a bit funny!

I've still not had a power cut.

Visibility getting slowly worse here in Naas.

Mullaghteelin

Perhaps no more than a couple of inches or 5cm in balbriggan, with drifts against walls of up to a foot max.

No. It doesn't.

Power cut to 6900 customers in Wicklow Town and surrounds, I'm no expert but one fault to take that many people offline must be a serious one.

Phone struggled to adjust the focus correctly at the beginning here, and of course you never really see the full extent of snowfall on a video, but it's just insane outside in Cabra at the minute (take a look at the power lines to see how strong the winds are)

Zero degrees currently and apparently rising!

Will shops in town be open in town tomorrow?

Doubt it in Munster and Leinster. Red warning in place. Anyone goes driving in that needs a talking to. Not sure about the rest of the country.

He caught the power outage - bright electrical arc immediately before the cut, I suspect that's what people saw when they mentioned lightning.

Yeah seems the coastal areas in Dublin are missing out slightly. In Shankill and now it’s been very slow and steady today and continues to be so. The snow that’s falling is pretty wet and you get the feeling that it could disappear quickly when the sun comes out.

Raheny and Clontarf aren't missing out on anything.

Snow is about 20cm thick in places.

Went out there for five minutes and I couldn't hack it even in full gear.

Seeing lightning flashes in North Dublin, no thunder tho.

HV electrical arcing

That is quite dramatic. It could happen again through the night. Would it be safe to turn off lights with these electrical arcs of lightening.

So cool !! And that’s what it was - but it’s rubbish because now I’ve no lecky ...

Just got up to feed the baba. Doesn't look like much snow fallen in Thurles yet. Bloody cold though. Hopefully we can avoid altogether the kind of falls folks in Kildare are experiencing.

I’m in Harold’s cross that is Dublin 6 and I can definitely confirm the power is absolutely out

I am up the road and its on. These are local things not postal code things. Just because you have lost power in Dublin 6, it does not mean the whole area is dead.

Tryin to make sense of radars

It seems to me that the rain/snow is gaining intensity as it goes over the warmish sea but loses it over the relatively low humidity land hence the small flakes

Tomorrow during daylight i dont forsee any further accumulations for Connaught and Ulster but the rising humidity is producing heavier snow by the minute on the windward sides of Leinster and Munster

These areas will finish with exceptional totals in parts

Alarms ringing everywhere in Ringsend, the entire surrounding area has been plunged into darkness. Only the 3 Arena lights appear to be on. Still snowing like mad.

Fian

power went out in dundrum, for about 60 seconds. Then it came back, my tripswitch had flipped so i had lights but not sockets.

After i flicked it back sockets came back but no internet, for 10 minutes or so. obviously back again or i would not be posting.

Its not. Not had so much as a flicker of the lights in Dublin 6. I hate these sort of posts (no offence).

The is no snow/power is out in my street so the whole country is the same.

Same in Kimmage, no issues. Still lashing down to use a technical term. A few inches of fine snow added since this evening. Not too dramatic but enough to keep me looking out at it anyway.
