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!

Slight bit of snow here in Coolock. Nothing major are we expecting more or is that the worst of it done?

Snow is getting even heavier here in Dublin 10. Definitely worse than 2010 for snow. However, the issue in 2010 were the 2 lots of snow, as the first one melted and froze. That was what made everything lethal. So far we have snow, so people can walk and crash can grip. I really hope we don't have a rapid thaw, as it'll cause serious flooding.

Have any provisions been done to prepare for the melting snow?

Well they are not really telling people to go out... they have just lifted the stay inside warning.

What strikes me about the pictures of the drift-clogged roads is that there are no cars or buses trapped in them... Unlike the pictures taken in 1982. Now we see the benefit of the red alert system.

There were a few heading up to Windgates between Greystones and Bray. Seen a video this morning on the Greystones Open Forum. Seem people are just mental.

Snow trying to stick here on the coast but still a bit marginal. A km or two inland south dublin should get another few cms out of this I think

Whats ye’r take on this ?
Still snowing now stop since last night , south tipp.
Thanks

It hasn’t stopping snowing at all today in Enniscorthy. I’d say the drifts in my back have grown 30cm since 7.30am. Went for a walk earlier to check on my mother and paths and roads average 20-40cm deep. Drifts against walls and cars from 1 - 1.8m+. Much more than 2010. It’s lashing down snow in the last hour. The path I cleared a hour ago now has a 3cm covering. I don’t see this clearing by Monday.

Theres decent snow, but Emma didnt add a huge amount to what was already there.

The heaviest showers in the north county Dublin area were the first batch on Tuesday afternoon. The afternoon sun beforehand seemed to give them an extra kick.
The isle of Man shadow really only got going after dark on Tuesday evening.

It did here in Cabra, which is north of the Liffey. There was a good 30cm of extra snow here since about 8pm yesterday, it was relentless. This added to the 10cm or so that had been on the ground since Tuesday's streamers.

There are other photos and reports from places North of the Liffey which got plenty of additional snow too.

There could be some heavier snowfall for a time with more accumulations in the east overnight.

Yes, that includes Dublin city...temperatures generally won;t get above freezing (slightly above for a time on east coasts), falling back after dark.

What about cork and kerry inland kermit? The front Will surely clear that way dumping more snow there?
