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!

Stop giving false advice. Employers can still expect you in work legally. Wouldn't be good employers though

Aren't you legally in work even when you are travelling there? So the responsibility of your safety is on your employer if you venture out in this weather?

Sligo Town really unscathed last night. Fresh dustings on gardens and footpaths. With the wind, depth ranges from nothing, to only a few inches. One side of car totally clear, other side a wall of snow couple inches thick.

If you were to only go by Sligo Town, you could say the Government, and local businesses, over hyped it, reading some of this thread though, think they may it got it right though when taking in the whole country.

North West was actually down graded last night as well.

Same for D13. So disappointing.

Same in Dublin 5 on the coast. Rather disappointed after getting 2 good days of snow I was expecting much more. 10 miles as the crow flies from my home to Rathfarnham & its the worst snow since 1982.

Dublin can possibly get snow in Dublin today. Fingers crossed

I just woke up to this.

If it's raining this fella doesn't like going out in the rain getting his paws wet. Not today though.

Is traffic moving in the town ok?

I live off Skerries Road and walked down the main road for a looksee. They’ve been gritted but not a single car (or person) was around. Think everyone is staying indoors, safe and warm!

Cianos

I see the forecast is saying a mix of rain and snow tomorrow - are roads expected to be drivable again tomorrow?

Very dark clouds coming over Dublin now , starting to snow again D14

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.

Haven't you had snowmageddon for the past few days already? It's been all over the news.

Must be your Sky box. Ours is going fine and we are in Meath so I half expected for the dish to collapse overnight.

No extra snow at all last night here in south Drogheda , although extremely windy ....... temperatures much milder too , I’m utterly delighted, so are the birds

. Tired of all this over done weather stuff now , wall to wall, back to back media coverage . Jesus how on earth did we manage to live in past weather events !

This has been much less of an event than 2010 and 1982 - lots of snow but no comparison at all !

Make your way to north Kildare and eat your words. Which you won’t be able to given that there’s heavy snow gusts and easily 30+ cms of snow on the roads

Waterford is buried!! Absolutely amazing!

Snowed powdery snow all night in Fethard, Co Tipp - about 6" this am, lots of drifts. Was a bit disappointed during the night tbh, but driving home from work this morning, there was more than enough to cope with on the roads. Quite glad now that we did not get more. But still snowing!!

The mountain shadow really made a difference it seems
South Dublin got mostly dumped on, while city and north really escaped.

Ballycullen, Firhouse seeing maybe 40cm+ with 4-5ft drifts against higher walls. We seem to always get a pasting in the foothills here!

leahyl

It’s mad snowing now in Cork city - think we’re getting ours later!

FrStone

Got a few cms of snow here in Cork alright - no high winds or anything like that. Looks like Met Eireann got it wrong.

It's coming down since in town but very light melty flakes although I'm sure some are sticking. I'm not sure whether to wish it away or here at this stage.

Didn't see video but wow and there was a car with headlights on... was someone trying to drive on that road? :eek:

Is that the Rhu Glen?

Sorry, I couldn't post the video. Yeah, it was a jeep coming along, to be fair, I'll give him the benefit of the doubt, he could have been a farmer going to check on something or going somewhere to provide urgent help.

Yeah that's the Rhu, the snow is so bad on the road it looks like vehicles haven't been along there in days!

Gardai are advising people to stay of the roads and I guess public transport is a no go too, you're employers haven't a leg to stand on.

They stay indoors warnings have been lifted. Punkivc transport is a no go. But it all depends where you live/work.

D13 is fine snow melting. Waterford, Tipp and Kilkenny is crazy with the amount of snow they got.

I would say thats local to you as it is still on air and working fine

Probably a new topic, but where the hell is all that melted snow gonna go when it goes?
Is flooding a big concern now?
Will the drainage infrastructure handle it?

Still bucketing down here in Wexford in a biting wind.
