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!

I'm presuming from this post you have been out and around Dublin this morning to make such a decision ?

You not just judging this from an IMBY perspective are you ?

Reports on here suggest some heavy falls around SW Dublin 14-16-24. Even then localised as people in Rathfarnham saying they got nothing much.

The reality is this has been very different from the forecast last night. Are you denying that ?

Eh, we're gonna need more bread.

Just back from a walk around nutgrove and it's a blizzard out there.

More snow on Wednesday and Thursday

Many multiples of this on the ground in 2010.

Reality is it hasn't played out as forecast. Not criticising anyone for getting the forecast wrong but they should acknowledge that and update the warnings to reflect the reality that people need to take care.

Think you need to look beyond your back garden portmarnock. The forecast wasn't wrong , here in south Dublin in rathgar the snow levels now are similar to the levels during the peak of 2010 snow around Christmas Day , the red level warning is warranted

Massive drifts in Dublin 15 and snowing hard.

Very little additional snow in Portmarnock overnight. Wind has quietened down a bit!

I expect my 16yr old daughter will be fuming today as we heeded the weather warning and didn't allow her go to a house party locally

Still better safe than sorry! Is Emma gone/ did she ever reach north Dublin?

Red alert needs to be downgraded for most areas. No reason why Dublin should not be more or less fully open for business this morning.

I have 2ft of snow at my front door and there are drifts of 5-6ft in areas

Tried to wade through it got about ten yards but had to turn back as it's a blizzard and you literally can't get a breath horrible feeling

We have unreal amounts of snow in Kilcock! Scary stuff and still bucketing down!

i've a funny feeling like me you were expecting wind and blizzards conditions. but at the same time i'm ok with this.

View out the back of my house this morning. East Cork 3 miles from the coast!

This is an example of a drift in Naas. Its hard to get across, but these are everywhere.
I ventured out and the cool thing is that you don't really sink in the snow. It's pretty solid underneath.

Wind still howling and snow still belting

Snowing away nicely here near Mallow. Looks plenty more on the way once we don't get rain!

2/3 inches in limerick. Nothing too serious. Never once fell as serious snowflakes only dust all night

My father who is in his 90s always maintained this type of snow was the worse. I think it because it drifts so easily.

lawred2

Rte news now still saying that met Eireann still predicting heavy snow for Leinster today.

Has it not passed yet?

Is there more to come because there is hardly any extra in Cork City since yesterday, so disappointing:-(

In the light of day, Dublin 16 looking epic! 26cm on the level here/away from the drifts and snow still coming down. -1.0c atm.

Lots of heavy snow in Waterford City overnight and still going strong. The eye opener for me is the drifts. Will be interesting to get some totals later.

Great piece on WLR btw!

I’m speechless with the amount of snow here this morning. Still com9mg down heavily and a strong wind. There’s two meters high snowdrifts. Impossible to open the back door as there’s a wall of snow against it. Right up to the window out front. By far and away the worst snow ever seen here. Sallins.

Most of the county had more more snow on Wednesday. There are pockets of deep snow in parts of South and West Dublin but for most of the city/county we should be going about our daily business.

It is blizzard like in the gusts here, but not sustained to be a blizzard at my location on the Kilkenny hills, the snow is picking up, the road was blocked yesterday before any more drifting snow, yesterday had 2.5ft drifts at 1pm, so expecting them to be impressive later.
