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!

Not getting the giving out about clearing paths. They cleared roads first and are no working back to clear the mounds/ paths. Well that's the obvious plan around here as to how things have gone.

Not every road clear yet though, for the doubters. The cleared roads were icy this morning and was looking like a harder frost after a decent thaw today...

Special shout out to the bus companies bringing tours up despite the call for it to be local access only, and , the local bus companies have been holding off because roads were too narrow.

Edit: Weathercheck got there first!!

HIRLAM wants a more substantial band to cross from NW to SE overnight.

It looks as though it will be cold enough in some parts and over high ground for this to be snow if it did occur but max 2-4cm

(see image posted above, no point posting it again)

Id ignore it though as it has totally different orientation of current precip over Munster!

The Met.ie 3hr is showing a band pushing in off the NW at 1am as well which is a mix of HIRLAM and Harmonie right?

It is an absolute nowcast situation, with such a slack low pressure system, the hourly HIRLAM on met.ie is useless.

Watch the radar, satellite and obs for this one.

The only time I was up Galtymore was in heavy snow sometime during the 90s. One of our party took a turn and we dug him a snow hole to shelter in while we went up top. Can't remember the year but there were three foot snow drifts, as well as some bare patches in places exposed to the howling, freezing wind. Those spots were frozen so hard I couldn't kick stones off the ground to use as weights for a wind shield for the kerosene stove. Please do post your pics if you get up there.

Sorry, only just looking back over posts. Never made it. Gutted.

Its called #pestfromthewest .. really

My car is white again, and where the grass was green, it is also white again, the drifts getting a top up.

Echoing the thanks. I'm a bit clueless when it comes to the weather, but I've learned a lot from this thread. I really appreciate how those with the knowledge explained things for the rest of us.

It's snowing here again at the moment. The ground is far too wet for it to land. I only noticed because I had to go downstairs and the velux window on the landing has a nice covering. For once I'm not disappointed that it's not going to land! Tipp/Kilkenny border.

I'm on the Tipp/KK border too. Tipp side of Urlingford and it's snowing and lodging here now. I went out to get the dogs and nearly had a heart attack. According to google weather it's a 'heavy snowstorm'

This is giving a really decent deposit of snow, whether one wanted it or not...

I noticed the Met office have a snow warning for Wales and the North Midlands. Issued earlier today from midnight to to 11am. From the system currently affecting Ireland.

Casualsingby

No warning from Met Éireann

sdanseo

If anything makes it to Dublin while people are asleep it'll be falling as snow for sure. -1 DP -2 even though they are forecasting light rain.

There would be war.

Maybe I'll wake up to a surprise in the morning! I'm not far from Callan, so a good bit down the road from you.
