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!

Was out for a stroll/romp in the snow in Dublin 16. Nothing can get in or out of our estate with snow drifts...saw somebody try and fail after a lot of digging. Nothing (as in traffic) on Grange Road (Rathfarnham)....pretty much impassable.

And that right there is exactly why the red warning was justified.:cool:

Limerick city continued light or moderate snow. Measured car roof again, up to 7 cm now, was 5 cm three hours ago. Slight thaw but compensated for by the extra snow.

Much brighter now and quite light snow, so possible warming as we approach noon and slow down of the snow accumulation.

Wet snow in Ballybrack. Got the kids out early as I think it's thawing faster from the bottom than it is accumulating on top. ME are saying it's -1; think its been above 0 here along the coast since last night. Accumulation winning out overnight but not for too much longer, I suspect. Deepest areas only 10cm....enough to warrant shutting everyone down because of skid/injury risk, but there was no complete whiteout....I remember those from ski hills in Canada when I lived there, and we were nowhere close.

Gerry just said sleet 8 times

up for anything

For all the people moaning and bitching about the Red warning here and the 'order' to stay indoors, at least there will be no tears and no funerals here, unlike the UK. Imagine dying on your way to work? Imagine burying your seven-year-old while others are busy building snowmen. There are worse things than having to take a day off work or stay inside when it looks perfectly alright to go out.

For my money, the government here called it correctly. There are far too many employers who would have kept their staff in work and not given too much of shite as to when or how they got home. It was a good idea for them to call it so early before things got rough or dark fell because again, there were those places that were stayed open past the 4 pm deadline, I can only assume out of greed and not need.

I’m in South Galway, and pretty much as forecast on here, strong wind and snow last night, about 4-6 inches in the open, drifts as high as the wall (3ft). It’s been snowing constantly since I got up at 8am, but no wind now and the bitterness is gone out of the cold.
Had great fun with the kids and the dog outside, great memories made, as who knows when we will have this amount of snow again!
Fair play to MT Cranium and all the regular forecasters on here, great work once again!

Woke up to 15cm in Clonmel (from 1cm the night before). Haven't seen very heavy snow yet, just slow but steady light-moderate snow that continues. (Conditions were much worse from the Irish Sea showers on Wednesday) Doesn't look like there's been any drifting at all.

I dont see how anywhere could have more than we got in Sallins, and if somewhere did id rather them than us

Id say its nearly 6.5 feet here on the Clane road.

Slight problem though, Emma stalled so is not representative of your lovely movie.

Decent show in Dublin City centre, and the wind seems to have dropped.

How are the snow levels then in general around north Dublin? I've spoken to people out in D13 and Malahide and like myself, D5, seen no increase since last night. Curious because my flight was cancelled today (at a good cost to me) and yet nobody's reported anything getting worse.

im in swords we probably got 4-6cm.

Still snowing North Tipp.

Cars abandoned all over the place around clonsilla.

A guy tried to drive off the end of our road. Not realising it was a high kerb and a green area, it was all completely covered to the same level. He was a bit shaken but not hurt.

Still snowing in cork, but there's a bit of sleet and it's starting to thaw

BigMoose

Just been for a walk / snowball fight with the kids and turns out there's a lot more here in Rathnew/Wicklow than I realised! Looking out the window and you can see bits of uncovered road, but it's blown somewhere else so in other places it's almost up to the knees.

Always one.

Kildare looks like it has more than double the depth of snow an drifts compared to anywhere else. The photos from Kildare are similar to what we had in 1982.

Less than 5 miles from Dunshaughlin Gonzo. Just move a bit!ðŸ˜œ
