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!

Wexford wicklow border...we easily have drifts 4 or 5 feet high. The snow is up about 18 inches on our front door. Can only imagine what the road into gorey is like. I'd say well be house bound for days.

Is anyone else on the south Cork coast seeing RAIN? We appear to have got about 10cm of snow last night on top of the 20cm that was already on the ground. There are snow drifts several feet deep. But I’m pretty sure I’m seeing rain outside right now. Obviously I don’t want to go out in it to check. Putting my hand out the window it feels like the normal drizzle we get here every other day of the year...

When Siobhan said copious amounts she was not wrong.. Waterford city has an epic snowfall..I remember 82 and this far exceeds it...there will be nobody moving today..

Saw on twitter about some eejit needing to be rescued from a late night swim??? I hope that’s a joke. If not he should be fined the call out cost.

In Wicklow Town. Someone posted earlier it was raining and melted some snow. Its defo not raining where i am. I think the wind is not allowing the snow to settle on exposed parts and some accumulations are get blown somewhere else which may look why its not settled or melted. Some very large drifts forming.

And a few km away near Kildare town there was only a couple of cm last night - but a huge dollop landed early Wednesday morning.

Incredible scenes up near the Wicklow gap. Drifts over two metres in front of the house. The wind and blown snow is relentless. Its like a storm above the arctic circle.

Yes definitely turning to sleet more than rain, just melting with the heat from the windows, there's a definite thaw starting though on the west cork coast, snow getting more slush like and can hear the drip drip outside, any idea how long a thaw will take? Drifts of 3/4 feet here, serious cabin fever, flooding is going to be a major issue

It's snowing here in Cork but no storm Emma. Do I have to get up for work or can I stay in bed? Has the red warning been lifted?

I'm just outside the city, it's mad! 4 inches over night and we had already had about 3 inches yesterday.

According to Hirlam, the heavier stuff is set to hit us in an hour or so here in Limerick

Thought a thaw was setting in but the top panel is at 02:48 and the bottom panel is at 06:46. Square root of fuck all difference there. But, on the other hand, not much more accumulation in the later photo despite constant falling snow.

Eagerly waiting on MT's forecast...

Thought it was snow because that's how it started in Dublin. It looked more like rain than snow.

Lots of drifts in my garden and built up at the front door too. Some crack trying to clear it off the floor in my boxers. Curragh. Taken about 6:30.

I have no idea how long the thaw might take but whenever it happens I’m not looking forward to it. We have what seems like a full lake’s worth of snow around our house! But we have been literally snowed in since Tuesday night so looking forward to being able to get out. It could be that this front continues to fall as rain along the south coast but as snow a bit further inland. I don’t know. It will be interesting to hear from places like Bandon etc.

fits

It’s absolutely wicked outside in south carlow now. Not huge amounts of lying snow as we are on lee side of blackstairs. About 10 cm. But it’s hard to tell as wind blowing it all over the place. I feel for those without power.
