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!

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"

Only some parts of south Dublin did, others didn't.

Today

Continuing very cold and overcast with scattered outbreaks of snow. The snow will turn progressively to sleet, but will be heavy and persistent across the south and east giving further accumulations over high ground. Much of Ulster and Connacht will remain dry and the snow will turn to rain over the far south. Easterly winds will be strong and gusty. Highest temperatures zero to +3 degrees.

Tonight

Tonight will continue very cold. There'll be further outbreaks of snow especially over midland and northern counties, but it will be mostly of rain elsewhere. Dry spells too. Minimum temperatures zero to -3 degrees coldest inland. A sharp frost and icy patches widely. Fresh east winds.

Tomorrow

Tomorrow Saturday will be another mostly cloudy day. Outbreaks of rain and sleet, but with still the chance of snowfalls over high ground. Any precipitation mostly of rain by afternoon. Fresh east winds. Highest temperatures ranging from 2 in the north to 6 or 7 degrees in the far south.

M.E. update, I'm getting a little worried flooding might be an issue if it turns to rain to fast

Mad drifts in Roscommon, though not much snow fell since Wednesday.
There's no way I could leave the house.
Pipes seem to have frozen (cistern not re-filling) and feels too cold for a thaw.
Wind sounds worse than Ophelia.

Had opened this door fully last night - so the fresh stuff fell overnight - it's around 12cm. 30cm total.

Heavy snow in Galway city. It’s not a patch on what’s fallen further south and east but it easily surpasses 2010 IMBY

The management of these warnings is like something out of the Marx Brothers. If it's still a red then why say it's safe to go outside. Unless expressly stated that implies it's safe to drive, which it clearly isn't.

Sustained snowfall in Cork City the last few hours, seems to be getting heavier.

There's less snow here in Portmarnock than there was on Wednesday morning. Perhaps we're just a little bit too far north, and coastal. Wind is strong, but no snow falling at all.

Snow is coming down steadily in Cork City and really starting to pile up. About six inches in my front garden now and no sign of it relenting. Looks like we are getting our blast later than most.

No snow in my village in Wexford all week, now I have drifts blocking the road at least 4ft high. Can leave the house with the driving snow as it is like sand paper. When is the wind due to die down in Wexford?

Can't understand why they are saying it is safe to go out as blizzards have passed - its still blizzard conditions here in south Wexford

Emma's snow didn't really add much depth at Grange from the totals yesterday. Although my shed's roof fell off.....

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...

I've some lying around, yours for only €400.

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!

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

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

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.

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.

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

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

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

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.

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.

Slashermcguirk

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

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

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
