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!

Met Eireann have just lifted the stay indoors advice.

Some of you guys just don't like me calling it like it is :cool:

Ah great, so I can go out now?...

As an aside I'm watching Sky news and reports of people going out in their cars last night and stuck on roads since. Why do so many feel the need to travel when advised not to unless absolutely necessary.
No wonder they are making a balls of Brexit.

Disappointing peek out the window this morning in Donabate but the wet snow & failure of precipitation to come in from the Irish Sea leading to no extra snow.

From a meteorological point of view this is a highly complex & fascinating battle between the Easterly cold & warmer wetter Storm Emma and a forecasters dream/nightmare. Fully understand those without an interest in meteorology just want to focus on what’s happening outside their door & we’ll have the usual squabbles about the appropriateness of warnings etc.. but for any professional or amateur meteorologist to predict exactly where the biggest impacts are going to be & how this complex setup will play out is nearly impossible even with all the best models & technology. It’s Mother Nature doing its thing.

Still snowing in D15,don't think it's stopped atall in the past 24 hours

My Mother had to leave for work at 5.30am in Kerry, hope she got there okay! Will have to ring her when she finishes. By the looks if things it did snow alright in Kerry, just not as much as other places.

Still snowing away in Cork city. Kinda want to go out for a walk in it but at the same time don't want to get wet. :pac:

Lots of drifting near Roundwood, but not close to the predicted totals, yet. Had to dig out to let the cats out the cat flap!

Seems to be a bit more intense now, compared to when I checked during the night though. Electricity flickering, so biggest debate is whether to light the stove with back boiler or not.

Very windy in Tullamore but no new snow since around 9.00 last night. Was looking forward to Snowmageddon but hasn’t materialized. If anything wind is blowing snow away.

Ken Tucky

Some overhanging from my roof. Hope to hell it doesn't bring my gutters down. Oh an an abandoned car in the middle of our cul de sac. Couldn't get out even if I wanted to lol!

Waterford (city area) is a complete white out. I have never seen this much snow, has well exceeded 2010. It is also still pouring down.

The back door has a drop of about a half foot and the snow is a foot up the door.

Has the red warning actually been lifted or is it just updating?

What you talking about you I can’t even get out my door.

Try the window?

Still snowing lightly at @95m ASL, inland from Greystones, although probably only a couple of inches settled except for drifts.

0C but snow looks wet.

Phil Jones

Lots of drifts - some up to about 2ft!

mojesius

Snowing again in SE Meath. Gets deeper further down our road where it's drifting

Judging by the radar, Waterford City is going to be hit hard shortly!

Oh yeah, I just checked in on the radar again, another big blast coming I'd say.

Just when they ease the warning it snows heavy in cork

Midnight Sky

Ah feck it anyway Ted.

(My car is in that.)

Location: Castlewarden North.

Other pic is of the car last night before I went to bed.

Mr.Crinklewood

Newstalk news had a guy on saying he was stuck in car since 2345 last night and nobody was coming to rescue him.

Hope he had a good reason to be driving in it.

STILL snowing here in South Dublin and heavy. My estate has decent accumulation from last night. garden pretty full with snow! How long is it supposed to keep snowing for here?

Sayuri

Still snowing in Naas. We got some serious drift action last night. I live in an apartment and I can't open the balcony door! Window watching is going to be difficult now because the snow has stuck and frozen to the windows. Still have electricity thankfully. ðŸ˜

magicmike2212

Really snowing heavily now in Wicklow Town. I'd say around 12cm so far with no sign of letting up, going by the radar!
Flakes are getting bigger too...

errlloyd

Pretty meager snowfall in D2 overnight. Anywhere I can walk to to see some proper unforgettable stuff?

Whehey!

If you look at Hirlam from now to 12 heavier snow outbreaks in Cork. Here not too heavy but steady near Mallow.

Massive drifts here in Co. Longford

I'll post a video too

The warning was there for blizzard conditions with strong winds and low visibility, there's nothing inherintely dangerous about being outside in just heavy snow.

Did anyone hear the news on RTE radio just now? It was reported that a young boy and his father had a bad accident in the snow last night in Mayfield, which is where I am
