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!

Constant heavy snow here in South Laois for the last 4hrs almost. After last night's snizzle fest, Emma is making up for lost time.

Thick snow falling in Greystones now after being light fall all day. I've another 3-4 mm after a brief thaw earlier. If that band off the Wicklow coast keeps providing fuel then it could be a long night.

Looks like Dublin is in for some heavy stuff very shortly according to the radar

Ultimate Seduction

No thaw here yet, infact it's still accumulating. Temp 0.8° c

So many fools (yes, that's what they are) today trying to drive down Monread Road and getting towards the end to realise it is impassible.

Here is a picture outside Tesco Extra in Naas. A digger there trying to rescue people and struggling themselves.

Cars abandoned and I can't even say it is the side of the road because you can't see it, so when snow subsides, they are blocking the road.

Oh, and Tesco is closed :pac:

Don't be too hard on them, they must have run out of bread. Absolutely incredible scenes. I imagine this surpasses the snowfall of 1982 at this stage for those who have witnessed both.

Snowing a lot in D14..nice big fluffy plates, Im not too bothered about accumulations as it'll all be thawing tonight or tomorrow but its lovely to look out at and walk around in for the last day of the cold spell on top of all storm snow from last night. Finishing in style

If the snow had been like this during the storm last night maybe we would have seen a metre!

It's a lot to do with radiative heating of the roads which still gets through and in March is strong - I'd estimate that from 6pm the snow will begin to lay more readily once again

Near Newcastle and current snow is adding depth nicely still.

If this snow carries on, we're going to lose the cars and sheds!! Still coming down fairly heavy up the Comeraghs in waterford...

Very random. In D15 still getting high winds and snow. Impossible to get out of the estate. No sign of a thaw.

More ice pellets in with the flakes now here and starting to settle on some roofs that had thawed as a result.

Not sure if I am allowed to post a link from Facebook, but there's a video of people rescuing a woman out swimming in Sandycove. She's lucky to be alive. Madness to be out swimming in the conditions.

Very little sign of any thawing in D16, and snowing nicely for the last hour or so

Mr Bumble

Slight thaw for an hour or too in Delgany but continued to snow and that after 10 hours of mad stuff. Up around 25/30cm total but very hard to tell because of drifting. Snowing heavily again now.
We almost always fall on the rainy side of marginal but this seems locked in for the afternoon and evening.
I have three seperate DRIFTS in the garden and I've decided to follow met.ie's lead by naming them. The biggest is called The Hump.

The N81 is impassable to Blessington on both the Dublin and Baltinglass sides. It has not stopped snowing here for two days. Feels like the scene from Seven Brides for Seven Brothers up here,

Dublin 5 Snowing hard for the first time in 24 hours

Slagging off the competition, eh?

Lashing sleet and tiny ice pellets now. Melting eveything instantly on impact. Driveway will be clear in an hour at this rate.

Anyone getting into a car for a non emergency / farming / mercy mission should be taken out and shot (with snowballs). Stupid, criminal behaviour.

Alanstrainor

There was considerable thaw in Portmarnock, North Dublin this morning. Went out for a stroll and the large green near me was showing grass once again, with slush on the paths. Snow has started falling again in the last hour for the first time since late last night. No significant falls yet.

ZX7R

Winds also starting to switch more to n/east , she seems to be starting to move inland a bit

Light snow now again East Meath. Might halt the thaw.

Mod heavy wet snow. If it keeps up will get a nice top up (dalkey)

Snowbie

Heavy snow accumulating here again. Proper big flakes now that the wind has eased somewhat.
Temp falling too 1.5C

Does anyone one else among the almost 100,000 people who live along the coast from Youghal to Carrigaline right down to Clonakilty feel a bit left out after that RTÉ news at one report? We’ve had the heaviest snow on the south coast here since 1947 with power outages and all roads impassable and we get a short report from Pascal saying that things are not too bad in the city? How come all of the other reporters were able to give details about conditions all around their area? Sorry, I’m not one of these people who generally complain about RTÉ but having been snowed in here since Tuesday evening with several feet of drifts outside, it seems like we’ve been forgotten about here.

Still snowing constantly since 8am btw. At least RTE weather reported a snow accumulation of 40cm in Cloyne in south Cork but if you blinked you would have missed it!

I take it your not " feeling the love"

Braved a walk (or a slow trudge) on the country road outside by house. The road itself looks like something form a David Attenborough documentary on the Arctic. Pic below.

Measurement on level part of driveway is 28cm I took a measurement on the lawn out of curiosity (I know this is not accurate because of air space) but have got 60cm or 2 feet on my lawn here on the south Cork coast. This is record-breaking for us. We have never gotten snow like this and the snow is still falling heavily!

Since I’ve taken these photos this morning, there has been a really significant accumulation of snow here near Kinsale. We have had constant heavy snow for almost 6 hours now and by all accounts we are to expect more later this evening and tonight. I’ll take another measurement in a couple of hours time.

Pascal on RTÉ news said things are not too bad in Cork but we have been hammered down here and I understand it is the same on the East Cork coast. I hate to say it but I’m getting sick of the snow now!

The temperature is 1.3c. It could snow like this all day and away from snow covered areas it would not have any impact on the thaw whatsoever.

Temp needs to drop.

Still no let up in snow here in Wicklow town. Easily a few cm added since this morning. Measured 20cm in the garden. Drifts more. Doesn't look like it's due to stop any time soon by look of radar! We waited long enough!

If it gets back to minus figures tonight in cork I can't see how it will turn from snow to rain. I mean it's gonna happen I know and will most likely wake up tomorrow with half the snow gone down here.

I got a message saying work is open at 8 in Ringaskiddy. I got another 5 minutes later from a work buddy who lives down that way saying not a chance. It's still snowing. This is the first time I remember going out in the morning and coming home at lunch time to more snow than when I left - normally here if it snows in the morning there's almost panic to get out in it before it melts by 11am

Was helping a stuck van driver in Lucan village earlier. Walked away when he suddenly threw the van into reverse while a few of us were still behind pushing! Idiot!
