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!

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.

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

They should have said "in Dublin" not "over Dublin". Gives the impression the entire city went dead when it did not.

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.

Zero degrees currently and apparently rising!

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)

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.

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

No. It doesn't.

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

Visibility getting slowly worse here in Naas.

I've still not had a power cut.

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 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.

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

Could be a weak point at a critical juncture.

Yes it does. You will have idiots tweeting etc now about a citywide blackout that did not happen.

I hope ye all are reduced to candle lights in affected areas- it will mean a better story to tell to future generations:D

Come morning, with a massive hangover, i was shocked to discover i could not open the front door- i was snowed in for a week and had to survive on bread and Whiskey for seven days:o

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.

Might've jinxed it. Just had the first flicker of the flights.

Power just back now in Sandymount

Idiots tweet idiotic things all the time.

Why would there be so many power cuts in Dublin.

No. That tweet didn't imply that.

You are reading into it and other posts for some bizarre reason.

Be glad your power isn't out but it is extensive.

Because it's red alert and we want to be the center of attention even if other places are getting more snow

...and as the snow fell and the bears ate us, I looked around and saw that for the first time we were a real family.

Power back in Ringsend, just in time for my phone to charge before dying. :P Fairly play to the ESB!

Looks to be a band of very heavy (up to 10mm/hr) precipitation heading towards Wicklow / South Dublin, making landfall maybe in the next hour or two
