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!

Some expect the Red alerts to cover their actual house. If they don't have snow they feel there shouldn't be an alert for anyone.

I don't follow their logic

I don't see anyone posting that the red alert for Emma wasn't justified - just a load of people complaining that people are posting the red alert wasn't justified

Snowing non-stop in Blessington for two days now, any sign of this coming to an end? Must be 3 feet at least, massive drifts too

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

No, what was stated was that the risk of blizzard conditions has passed and people no longer need to take shelter indoors.

We’ve had all kinds of snow in Dublin since Tuesday! Snizzle, ice pellets, hazy snow, light flurries and light snow. Only today however are we seeing the big mega flakes which bring back memories of 2010

Absolutely Baltic in Cork City northside and still snowing - absolutely beautiful out there

Seriously? I find it kinda warm now compared to last few days on south side of Cork. Lovely out having snowball fight and building snowman.

Well any temp rise compared to the last few days would feel warm.

Thaw looks like it might be coming to an end in Clonmel. Dripping is getting less and less, and the droplets on surfaces are slowly starting to freeze.

Despite the thaw, we've gone from 15cm to 20cm in the past few hours. Snow is now the heaviest I've seen it (but still nowhere near as heavy as the showers on Wednesday). Occasional gusts of wind blowing a lot of snow off the rooves, but fairly calm otherwise. Looks like there's still a lot of life left in this storm.

Out of Guinness on the snow now

But on a serious note thats a lot of liquid from one glass of snow. Lets hope it's a slow thaw

Just measured it - nearly 13cms

Snow falling at a decent rate now in Dublin 16....ordinary decent flaky stuff this time.

It's not been very heavy in cork since last night but it's been tipping away and not stopping.

3.5cms has fallen here in Rochestown this morning. I measured 16cms this morning at 9am on garden table. Now up to 19.5cms at 1pm and snow still falling nicely

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

Most of them saying they got little snow? Certainly malahide didn’t.

Meath is further inland so didn’t have the coastal effect. However Kildare got lots more.

Snow is coming down heavier than ever here in Laois, garden furniture about to disappear completely. Looks like no end in sight until the early hours of tomorrow morning.

Saw this on twitter, this is Clontarf right now.

roosterman71

Major thaw on here. Lots melted since this morning. Had nothing worth talking about fall since yesterday. And that path thats cleared wasn't even walked on! Never ventured into the back yard at all.

Kermit.de.frog

Heavy snow now in Santry.

Wexfordboy89

Will the people complaining about little to no snow just relax and enjoy your few unexpected days off go read a book or something binge watch netflix or have a monopoly marathon with the kids

Trebor176

No sign of thaw in Clondalkin. The snow is still coming down well. The local newsagents may be the only place open around the village.

Yep, eventually in Dublin 6

Snow in garden now at 2010 levels after looking a bit less spectacular earlier on. Road outside looking surprisingly clear, though possibly because the snow ploughs have not been out here in this event continually flinging snow into large banks at the side of road as happened in 2010. Getting gradually heavier.

There was a thread started last night. And lots of comments i this thread. I understand you can’t be expected to search it all though.

Hasn't stopped snowing in Lucan all morning. Who is brave enough to start a "when will it ever stop" thread?

Donegal Storm

Absolutely relentless in Kildare, feels like its coming down heavier than at any point since yesterday evening, winds still very strong

Slashermcguirk

Woooohooo heavy snow returns to raheny !

The post I replied to made no mention of coastal areas - it just said there was nothing North of the Liffey. Not accurate.

Any pictures of the comeraghs?

Proper flake snow has returned to D1- this event had teeth in it yet.

No electricity and phone single poor so only catching up on threads now.
No major snow here over night but nearby had huge drifts and a lot of roads still not passable.
Started to snow again here about 9 but not real snow it was polystyrene balls type, useless for any sort of accumulation.
Very strong gusts over night and early this morning..
Finally stopped snowing and a big thaw on but it will take a while... it’s now +1 degrees

Kildare/Laois border

Still a bit to go looking at radar. Looking like biblical amounts of snow at this stage for those in hilly areas or with some orographic lift. Light snow continues here, with the odd moderate burst. Very marginal though (s dublin coast) and hoping for a pep up this afternoon/evening as the winds get slightly lighter. Not expecting much in the way of accumulations though.
