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!

What a joke, red warning. The 1 metre expected in South Dublin turned out to be an inch as I said last night when it was rain and not snow, so dissapointed

Strange . I am in Tallaght and we have metre high drifts and outside my hall door is at least 50cms .We are basically snowed in .

Hour 6, one last look out the Velux at Meath Road in Bray before sleep and..............

...[Sigh] The Ice Pellets are simply not accumulating down here. Still only about 2cm at best on the footpaths and road that were clear at 9pm.

I am expecting to wake up to same about 9am. Beyond frustrating to be house-bound for the duration of this but without a big payoff at the end.

What promised to be the most incredible sequence of weather events delivering historic snow depths in decades is nothing of the sort where I am in Bray. FFS!!

I was just out investigating and while its basically all slush near the Seafront in Bray, it turns into real snow once you get inland from the main street. I went up the Herbert road for about half a mile and it's great - about 4-6 inches over most places and obviously deeper in the drifts. I'd say if you got even a little way up Bray Head it's good, deep snow.

That's looking up the Herbert Road from just past the side of the church.

Not going anywhere today over a foot on the street outside the house. Waterford

Just "ventured out" - Could only stay out for 3 minutes or so due to the wind, but what I saw was simply amazing. You can't see it on pics, but my lane way is filled with snow.. when I say filled, I mean filled.. 2m at places. Must be a snow trap, all the way down Never seen anything like it.

Moyglare road ,maynooth is closed

Snowing worse than ever now.

Pipes frozen last night but we got to them just in time.

Plenty of drifts.

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"

Well even in south Dublin Emma was a let down too in so far as we didn't get anywhere close to one metre as forecast, still plenty of snow about though

Epic scenes here in Clonmel, snowing heavy all night id say and no sign if it stopping.

The storm has delivered and no way anyone is leaving home in Clonmel.

The snow has resumed in Dublin 16 blizzard like again.

I haven't seen a single flake since I got up early this morning?

So Emma didn't move as far north as expected and in the end it was a case of "nowcasting" which didn't surprise me, south Dublin seems to be northern boundary and not so much north of that

Nettle Soup

Got another inch of snow in west Galway. The drifting in places is mad.
Still snowing but quite light.

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.

This makes me even sorrier I came down from Ballycullen to Perrystown

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 you can go out and walk around you're locality....but under no circumstances do you drive on the roads

Have 2-3 foot of it in dunboyne...... The little lad has to go to the child miners (less than a hundred yards away) that walk will be fun.

Well that walk was quickly aborted once we opened the front door. I only looked out the back this morning which appears to have been somewhat protected ............

It has started again in Dublin 9. Maybe a touch sleet 🙁

Hi folks,

What is the current view of Dublin, I'm down in fairview and trying to plan ahead for the day and it seems as if it is all over and done with?

Am I wrong?

2nd Row Donkey

Kilnamanagh, D24 here.

About 7-8cm of fresh snow last night, with drifts of 40-50cm in places. Other parts of west Dublin - Lucan, clondalkin , D15 seemed to have gotten much more.

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.

Spare a thought for the morons down my neck of the woods,near blizzard conditions,huge drifts and these people are on Facebook asking are the shops open. They mustn't have windows in their homes.

I bet the precipitation will arrive here just when it turns to sleet:

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

I really hope so because there's so much snow here that a quick thaw would be a disaster in terms of local flooding.
