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!

No rulers, but my visual guide has been this box at the front of the garden. 11pm last night vs now, in D15. I guess we accumulated another couple of inches, maybe 3 or 4. The drifting around the bottom of the box is more, and is quite substantial elsewhere in the garden, but I know it's not exactly a good guide.

It's not the 20cm that some of the models suggested for this area overnight, but on aggregate I think we have more now than I can remember before. I'm post-1982

I would've had much more snow if Emma didn't come. She's killing the steamers and bringing nothing here.

I reckon Red Alert will be extended. Similar conditions expected to continue til at least 9pm tonight.

Kells - Meath. I can't see any change in the weather. Snow still blowing past my window, as it has for the last 40 hours or so now.. Maybe it stopped during the night, but it is back now.. There are a few nice drifts, one on my lane , must be 140 cm or so in the middle of the road. The back garden has seen + 20 cm since 7 PM last night. Not sure how much of that is drifting vs fresh snow. Will venture out later for exact measurement, but I'd say it is close to 1 m now.

I don't think we're done yet. Not here. But I somehow should be going to Dublin today, I guess that is off the cards ? Any reports on M3/M50 ?

Just been outside shoveling some snow.

Definite thaw on (north Kildare), even though its still windy/snowing (maybe even back to sleet).

still very windy.

Also heard some conflicting info on the 8am news on todayfm. They said RED weather alert is now over...but Met.IE still say it stands to later today.

I guess Todayfm mixed up between Red alert and stay indoors advice.

Here in North Wexford we've gone from no accumulation at 5pm last night, to this...

C'mon Emma will you move north! Completely dry now.

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

Emma stalled, still in play for now, weakening, no one got this one right; but the force of the winds were questioned from as early as last week.

Thought all of Dublin would be worst hit but from pics we have a lot more snow in Galway. Will take pics now.

I think dublin from pics I have seen was worst hit along with Kildare and Wicklow

The best thing is, I was dreaming all night that when we woke up the snow was completely gone and it was sunny and warm out and I was so disappointed. Thought I woke up and looked out and the snow from the past few days was still mostly there but nothing new had fallen and it was clearly starting to thaw. And then I really woke up and looked out at that :D:D

You’re so lucky! Coming down now in Cork and we have a good covering so I’m happy enough:-P
Looking out the window reminds me of Home Alone when he comes out the front door and the scene with the snow falling :-D

Saying on the radio there that it's now ok to "venture out" in red warning areas, but that because the warning is still active we shouldn't travel. What the hell is that supposed to mean??

It means do what you want but have a bit of cop on. Your immediate locale may be fine but 10 minutes up the road may be treacherous

Gonna take a seriously long time for all this to thaw looking at some of these pics

build a snowman, have a snowball fight but there's no transport and don't attempt to drive.

tldr : pretend you are 10.

Into hour 16 and its a total white out in Arklow
No let up at all
My wellingtons went down full dept and beyond where the snow is level and this is covered over in the last half hour in a combination of the spin drifting and the heavy snow
Out in the fields as I was heading back to the yard,my tracks were completely gone in 5 mins such is the drifting and the heavy snow falling
Even where I was waist deep is covered in
Its very deceptive as you'd be going along go waist deep and then suddenly sink more
Unreal snow falling now,same as all night
Copious!

Up wicklow. About time.

Ultimate Seduction

Unbelievable! Never seen or remember anything like this in my 30 years. Was getting worried during the week but worth the wait. Measured 15cms in my backway and a 4 foot drift at my front door! Glad I have a young kid to share this memory with, and thanks to all the forecasters here for keeping us reassured snowmaggedon wouldn't leave us out.

Congrats to the lads in mallow too who seemed to be in the same situation yesterday.

Whoohoo!!

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 !

and the whole country lives in drogheda?
