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!

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??

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

tldr : pretend you are 10.

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

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

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

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

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.

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

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

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.

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 ?

cherryghost

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

Artane2002

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

LookingFor

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

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?

Nope. That's if your going to a customer site and it's extra on your normal journey time

It means it is now safe to go outdoors but don't try to drive on the roads.

It feels strange here in raheny, really dark overhead but not actually snowing. Doesn’t appear to be any thaw here, too cold I would think. I thought it was meant to be continuous snow until about 6pm but hasn’t snowed for a couple of hours here. Seems off given how dark it is above

Ogie84

A nice covering in Cork now, the worst of this event seems to have been further east judging by the comments here and the pictures. The wind never came to much down here.

Before you have fun building your snowomen, ensure you feed the birds and the wildlife that come around your house. They're not having fun. They need all help they can get.
Call in to elderly neighbours too.

Dont know how i manages to climb out the front door this morning in Kildare. Snow is roughly 3-4 foot deep level on the road. Drifts over the car roofs in places

aurora 527

My back garden this morning..the snow is now half way up my washing line and still pelting down...nothing moving..roads impassable.. Waterford

PoolDude

Blizzard like conditions still persist here in South Wexford (Cleariestown/Duncormick)

TheMilkyPirate

Just woke up in Wexford town and the snow is heavier than last night, Easily a foot of snow drifting to I don't know what. Going to get breakfast and get out and about and get some pictures.

wakka12

Fairly calm and quiet in dublin now..will there be any resurgence of the storm here or whats going on? My weather app is saying snow all day

revelman

The snow in the last hour has been so heavy that the accumulation is now almost reaching the window ledges!

What’s worse though is that we only have 6 slices of sliced pan left...

good image hosting

Mine is the same (in Naas also). And the snow and sleet is still going strong. Am I right in thinking that Naas has been hit the worst in Kildare? Our fellow boarders in Newbridge/Celbridge and Newcastle seem to be saying they got way less than expected. What we are getting is not the "light dusting" either (although we did get some of that) I haven't seen a break of more than 10 minutes in the past 2 days. Maybe my expectations were less than theirs to start with? I lived in Dublin in '82. I lived beside a wood and I remember walking into snow drifts for fun. What I am seeing here exceeds what I remember of that. In 2010 I was driving daily right through October to December to visit a relative in hospital (the relative passed away just as the thaw started at end of December). I also drove to work etc. The driving conditions (in Dublin) were nowhere near as bad and the snowfall never got near these levels. Maybe the total snowfall over the 2 month did, but certainly not over any 24 hour period. Anyone driving out of my estate today is either mad or brave. I'm going nowhere - and before anyone asks. Yes, I have bread and milk.

Light snow falling at the moment in Crookstown area of west Cork. Nothing like what was being forecast though.

I got a LOT more in 2010 so from an IMBY perspective it was a let down.
Non stop snow grains does nothing for me.
South Dublin seems to have got it all and I'm puzzled how some western areas got more in an easterly? +1c now and let the slush fest begin, I'd prefer if it melted in the strong March sunshine, at least we could say "if only it was January"

Artane2002

Wind getting stronger after calming down for a bit. You're all making me jealous with the snow you're getting but keep the pics coming!
