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!

I reckon Emma is totally done here in South Meath, with a thaw well underway.

This was a very decent event at my location but overall less than half the amount of snow as 2010 and nowhere nearly as bad as 1982.

The main culprits were the IOM Shadow hurt the snow distribution big time, especially the first 2 days of the Beast. Emma started off great yesterday but became fragmented after 1am. I blame the Wicklow mountains for Emma not reaching her full potential in this part of Leinster.

I reckon we've ended up with about 10 inches of snow overall, excluding drifting, very difficult to calculate it with the drifting that is around.

For comparison, 2010 had two major snow events here, each dumping well over 12 inches of snow, close to 20 inches at one point.

1982 had snow several meters high here all over the place with snow lasting on the ground in parts for well over a month.

Kildare and parts of Dublin, wicklow, Wexford and even Cork got the full effect from both the Beast and Emma.

Proper moderate snow with large flakes now (Dalkey). Hoping to reach a decent precipitation rate but its hard.

I expect Red Extended for East Leinster until tomorrow morning, orange for the rest of the country.

Inland South East only really went red this morning. Expecting same. No way will I be driving any where now until tomorrow. Time to reheat the stew xD

So for those of you in the most affected areas? How would you say this compares with 1982/2010?

Wasn't alive in 1982, but compared to 2010 there is so much more snow here in cork city.

Just saw a guy doing that outside. There's no way to drive a car out there. I hope he's not intending on trying.

Unless they're hover cars they're going nowhere,2 foot of lying snow on the road and drifts double that, even walking is a challenge.
I'm just trying to get my head around their stupidity.

While 2010 was a much more prolonged and intensely cold spell, the snow absolutely pales in comparison to this event for me in Kildare.

We got very little snow in 2010. Just very cold temps.
This snow has been best I have seen since 1982.

Heavy snow in Inchicore. Like being up the alps.

You should go on Liveline just so Joe can somehow get in a pun.....

How many inches in Inchicore?

I haven't heard any reports from the hillier parts of rural north county Dublin, they could have seen much more than the coastal towns.
The Naul, Garristown and Manowar areas have terrain that exceeds 100m above sea level.

In garristown just on the dublin meath border. Not a whole lot mostly big drifts.
Thawing a good bit aswell now.

Is it me, or do the sat images today suggest that the cold pool beat the total cr*p out of storm Emma and literally ripped it apart? Looks nothing like a regular low now and nothing like yesterday.

The other lows also seems to be thinking about just sliding east underneath it.

The snow just keeps on coming here in Waterford City. Drifts up to 5 feet. One to tell the grand kids about for sure.

Snowing here constantly. Not heavily. No sun and its 0 degrees.

What thaw are people seeing in Cork City? There's no thaw in the South side.

Update from Fingal half an hour ago

The situation in Fingal is that inland areas fared worse than coastal areas with large accumulations of snow reported in the west of the county in areas like St Margaret’s, Blanchardstown, Naul, Garristown, Oldtown and Ballyboughal. A crew was called out this morning to assist an ambulance which was stuck near Lusk.

Swords got very little new snow and it appears to be thawing. Council have cleared a lot of the main roads too

Yes certainly catching up here in Wexford. It's relentless! Fab!

Went for a walk around the Mardyke/Sunday’s Well area in Cork. Fitzgerald’s Park is closed but the Mardyke walk/skatepark is open. There are people trying to snowboard in the skatepark! Lovely athmosphere around. Lots of kids (and adults) making snowmen! There are people building a big polar bear in Sunday’s well up the road from me...can’t wait to see it done.

Over 1000 homes still without power in Carrigaline area, 120 in Kinsale area and over 100 in Innishannon. Absolutely plummeting it down here in south Cork making working conditions even more difficult. Fair play to the ESB crews working to reconnect homes all over the country.

Unbelievable snowfall in Kilkenny City all this morning, still hammering down now.

Magical conditions and more than makes up for the lack of blizzard like conditions last night.

Agree. Emma didn't really make it north of the Liffey. I'm hearing no reports of any disruption from places north of Dublin such as Drogheda, Dundalk, north Co Dublin etc.
I'm giving up now, whats left of Emma has stalled and I'm expecting nothing more than flurries from now on.

There wasn't disruption in south dublin either until you get out as far as sandy ford and clondalkin and tallaght areas. Coastal areas doclands to dun laoghaire, ballsbridge, rathgar,dundrum milltown, rathmines are snowy but not that disruptive imo

Just measured out the back. 55cm fell in a sheltered spot since it began in Dublin 10.

grenouille1966

Phoenix park and Castleknock.

Drifts up to 3/4 feet with 40/50 cm on ground.

Snowing again..heavily

Rochestown, Cork here. Never seen so much snow. Nearly another foot overnight. Absolutely incredible.

Relentless here in Cobh. Snowed in. Is there any chance of us getting out tomorrow? Cabin Fever
