    One thing quite unusual about this snow event seems to be the vast difference in conditions locally.
    Im here in Donegal a few miles south of letterkenny where there is little to no snow at all. Yet a little more north and into Inishowen there has ben blizzard conditions and some large acumalations of snow.
    Seems this is due to streamers feeding off the north coast only afecting north Donegal.

    Just stopped snowing in Cabinteely in the past 20 mins. Radars seem to be "off". But despite almost 3 hrs of snow, there is scant depth added. Light flakes rather than pellets all morning. Seriously gusty.

    Dry sunny and no snow in Limerick.

    Very disappointed. Hope Emma comes soon :(

    Don't wish for it. It's a total whiteout over here in Meath. In Navan and the visibility is dropping rapidly.

    Snowing all morning in D14 but apparently not a flake in Wicklow town where the family are!

    Can anyone tell me when the weather forecasts are reliable? I have a few important matters early next week in work, am I safe to assume they will go ahead (everything this week has been cancelled)? Will we know by the weekend if next week is likely to turn bad?

    Oh I was about to say Galway seems fine. While I'm not one of the eejits that moan about the warnings I am suprised it was made nationwide. Doesn't seem to be that bad here. Certainly not to the levels of the south & east.

    There is no need for that, he was just making an observation about the weather where he is.

    Can it even get worse than this?

    Let's hope it can get better(more snow)- it certainly looks like it can from M.T. Cranium's forecast and looking at some of the hi- res models.

    Please god let it snow In wicklow town and Bray , I get the feeling they're going to crack up with frustration there at this stage.

    Tried to take the dog out for a quick walk before the worse weather arrives later; he's only a little guy but he was out in the snow yesterday and loved it, so I thought he'd be just as keen today.

    Nope - we got about 200 feet from the house, just at a corner on Bray seafront where the wind really hits you in the face and he turned tail and dragged me back home across the ice. It really is extraordinarily cold out there.

    Wind direction will not change (much) but difference will be transition from convective snow to frontal snow....basically will not be relaying on the sea to produce snow.

    What kind of timeline is the frontal snow expected for us poor deprived coastal Wicklow folk? Wondering if it will be after dark? Probably, right? Was half considering taking the kids off on a drive to somewhere with snow but I think that would be a bit mental given all the warnings...

    In D14, it's been snowing quite heavily all morning, but it doesn't seem to be giving much depth at all. It's very strange.

    Limerick has a dusting of snow in the past two days. Probably no need for a nation wide closure of schools etc.

    Limerick isn't due to get the worst until later today

    So would o be right in thinking Emma is going to dump another 20 odd cm of snow on top of what we are all ready getting here in Waterford?

    Really wouldn't do that - it might be fine where you are but in places where the snow fell yesterday, the roads are likely to be covered in thick ice - it's lethally slippery. I'm in Bray and some roads that haven't been treated are like skating rinks. It's just not worth the risk.
