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!

Out in Clondalkin and have been awake every hour seeing how it was going, snow and wind was crazy at stages,
Still snowing now, nice accumulations and some of the drifts on the roads and in gardens look a few feet deep

Woke up to pure madness here (between Naas and Blessington)

Howling gale hasn't relented one bit since going to bed, still driving snow and well over a meter in height were the drifts have accumulated.

I'll try getting better pictures when there's day light - these'll have to do in the meantime.

Check out the kids scooter which I've ringed.

When is it due to stop? Cabin fever has me in its grip now.

Edit

Site won't let me attach pics

I can't attach images either... Seems to be disabled which absolutely sucks to give any context to peoples reports

Morning Ireland on at 6:30. Howling winds in a North Tipp.

Near tullow - and yes! fun was had

All I got in Ballincollig was the most restful sleep and maybe 2 cm of snow. No winds, no storm, no heavy anything.

Now I have to work from home because you know shelter in place until 1800 because the forecast is for large regions rather than individual areas.

But good luck to those of you who actually got the promised record snow and storm. Hope you are all safe.

That’d be the drifting. It doesn’t mean 6.5 ft fell.

Quote from Gaurdian: The M9 near Stirling is blocked after a lorry jack-knifed in 8ft (2.4m) snow drifts.

Try these in the meantime.

Scooter buried in the snow, with garden furniture visible also.

It's gas watching people's reactions to the weather warnings , no snow here , load of sh1te , damp squib etc . I'm outside Naas and looking out the window at a blanket of snow at least 2 ft deep and looking like 3-4 ft drifts outside the wall where the wind is blowing the snow down the road and it's still falling . I can't see this thawing quickly , only for the warnings I've enough food in for a few days and it doesn't look like I'll be able to get out of here for a while .

Heavy snow in Galway city
I can’t go outside to measure depths where I am but roads, paths etc are all white and I can’t see any traffic on the roads

Meet your brother.

It's madness. I'm in my latter 30s, never seen anything like it.

Met Eireann latest updates this morning still says Red warning in place for Leinster, Munster and Galway till 6pm

Will they pull that back a bit to reflect MTs latest forecast and the stalling of Emma?

SeaFields

Good few inches over night here in my spot in south Kerry. Haven't checked the depth yet but looking out the window it's nearly up to car door

Never thought they could forecast with that accuracy. It will snow in this town but it it won't snow in the next. Every model run and forecast I seen showed heavy snow across south and east.

What would you do if you were responsible? List out the towns and surrounding areas that would stay in and the towns and areas that should be allowed out. No one would be able to get that spot on so it's better to just say Cork

i lovewine

I'm out side Enfield and it looks like "the day after tomorrow " movie. We just nearly have 2 and a half foot and some drifts. Cats want to go out to the loo. Have to make them a tunnel. If this gets any worse they will end up a food source !!!!!!!. Wife wants to know if I will shovel the snow away from house. I'll let you guess the answer

D9: I am disappointed with the amount of snow here yes, but am not blaming Met Eireann, boardsies, they all said the same so that was obv what the radars were showing. It’s a movable feast and unfortunately it just seems to have moved away from giving us snow here.

Jesus there is over a meter of snow depth in my back garden!!!!!!!! Never in my life have I seen so much. It’s like a wave, have to take a pic. Newbridge kildare

Heavy snow in Cork. Anyone know if gritters have been out?

markfla

Going nowhere today. Unbelievable here in kilcock. The kids had taken snow around my car for snowmen yesterday. Crazy.

LEIN

Heavy snow here for the past six hours and still going strong.
