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!

Lovely snow falling s dublin coast now. Hoping to add another few cms this afternoon with the slightly lighter wind

Indestructable

One of my fine big conifer trees, that stood for 40 odd years, came down last night with the combined weight of snow and the wind.

Strong Life in Dublin

The snow is still coming down in d24, hopefully there is no thaw today.

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.

Do any of the experts know when the snow is meant to ease off along the south coast here? It has been snowing constantly since just after 8am and am starting to get concerned about what’s lies in store for the rest of the day and night.

Dial Hard

Took the dog for a walk earlier (Perrystown, D12), it's like The Day After Tomorrow out there. Wind has the ground stripped back to the impacted stuff that froze on the ground yesterday in places, three steps later it's in drifts feet deep.

I'm going looking for my ski goggles before I go back out, could barely see with the wind.

Don’t see this stopping anytime soon!

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.

Where you are. While some parts are snowed definitely snowed under, in other parts of Dublin traffic is circulating freely. Though I appreciate some people looking at 2 foot drifts from their door across their estate road would not realise this from what they are seeing.

Still snowing here in south Kilkenny and plenty fell last night.

Must say I find this picture of Sallins in Co Kildare on the Irish Independent website absolutely extraodinary. Its like somewhere out of Alaska.

There's a very definite thaw on here on the north Dublin coast and I have no idea how this event is going to reload here. Other areas will get more, but for me this is over. No complaints though, it was a good 'un!

'Proper' snow falling now in Dublin 16, but not heavy enough to stick where I cleared a path through the snow. -0.1c atm.

nermal15

Plenty thick in Waterford city, and still snowing! Peoples park is beautiful and covered in snow men. An abandoned car in the last pic there shows the driving conditions!

Very inaccurate - there are loads of reports in this thread from North Co Dublin, north Dublin City, and Meath.

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.

Firhouse. Still bucketing down. 3 foot drifts in places, about 18 inches in the middle of the road.

2018 overtook 2010 and shoved it into a ditch on the way past.

Ye I can't get over the amount of snow we have had. Still pelting down.

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

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.

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.

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

George Sunsnow

5 foot deep in my yard now
Across the whole yard near Arklow
Everything buried
Track machine on the way to see if we can clear it
Still snowing very heavy
Hour 18 of Emma
Rivaling if not surpassing jan 82

ESB truck got stuck in a 10 foot drift over the road from here

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.

Considering the state of the Country after all the snow it's funny that they are now telling people to go out.
