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!

Snow going all night and morning in Galway drifts a few feet deep in places....

Still snowing in Cork but I get the sense that there was bit of a thaw happening. Lots of snow falling from trees etc Still was a lovely morning for a walk

Moderate snow here again near Mallow. Can't remember ever such a prolonged fall. Normally the sun is out by now and thaw beginning. Looks like light snowfall at least for the rest of the day with Emma moving at a snails pace.

There will be a quick thaw in Limerick.

Doesn't feel cold anymore

Cork is getting hammered all morning
Extraordinary conditions

I find very hard to believe that its still -1c at Dublin Airport, there has been discussion in this forum about the location of the site over the years.
1.6c here and a slow thaw despite "real" snow falling.

Nice dinner plates falling in Dublin 5. I'm not sure how but I have almost 50cm in the garden here I'm not trolling/lying!

Nothing really like that here - and I'm just next door (Killester), close enough that a number of apps geo-locate me as being in Artane.

3 cm of snow here in Kerry ...No blizzard

That is the reason the red warning wasn't justified

Some people in decisions making and professional weather forecasting got a bit ahead of themselves i guess

Stunning pics nonetheless

Yes. The next time they need to give forecasts by Eircode. So for example, your house & driveway could be a Yellow warning only, while next door could be Red.

Perhaps Google Maps could display the 42,000 different variations of forecast, so people can plan their trips. "I could go via the Dublin road, but I notice there is a Red warning outside the Centra. I'll go via the Nenagh road instead, as the only warning is the stretch outside the O'Connors house."

Some people believe Ireland is massive, a one size fits all is the ONLY approach this country can afford to take. Otherwise we would have people on complaining about how much tax dollars ME receive annually and "sure we never get red warnings whats the point"

Southeast Wexford, we are getting hammered here, unreal amounts of Snow Falling non-stop.

Thawing away here in East Meath. Less here now than at 3am. Becoming worryingly damp ! Melting off cars etc.

similar here. snowing lightly but snow already not quite as deep in places as it was at 3am last night. Dripping from all the gutters.

Snow here in Rathfarnham D14 is Heavy and been like this since about 10! was more snizzle when i awoke

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.

Light snow but quite good fall from it

Patser

Jaysus life changing neck injuries from trying to take pictures of snow, and father hospitalised too.

Hopefully quick recoveries to both, if possible

It's feels like there is a slight lull in the amount of snow falling here in Courtown, definitely feels colder than what it did at around 9am.

The red warning was for what MIGHT happen across all parts of the country.

And that did happen for a lot of the country. They cannot predict to the square metre what will happen.
And the red warning saved lives- that's the important thing.

Can you explain this a bit more? I thought there was a minimum and maximum to a general period, but do you mean that there will be a more extensive minimum period?

low point expected for 2019-2020 as far as I know

Snow is quiet heavy here north east of Kilkenny as the drifts continue to grow.

Gonzo

still snowing here but it's thawing more than sticking.

A good way to test it is to wipe snow off a surface. Snow melts on impact on the surface I cleared. Very wet snow at this stage and the intensity just isn't there.

Very strong winds and heavy snowfall in Sandymount . .

Last night I was criticising Met Eireann, but I was wrong. We got snow and drifts and all sorts (though not much wind...)

So, Met Eireann, I APOLOGISE
