    The radar returns on the activity down in Cork is mighty impressive. More intense than anything incoming in the East. Could be serious accumulations by morning - one poster already has nearly a foot in Clonakilty already??

    Think the incoming new stuff for Dublin will slide just to my south. Had plenty of snow this evening but still only around 10-15cm...so far!! More to come I'm sure.

    Work cancelled, beers out movie on blinds up , ready to stay up all night watching these streamers hit Dublin
    Life is good 😎

    Coming down hard in Ballincollig now. It's unusually bright outside...

    Good luck trying to figure me out. I haven't managed that myself yet!

    South Dublin has been getting snow today but not all parts perhaps. These new streamers have to hit all of South Dublin. The North side of Dublin and the CC has been pulverised.
    Ffarrell is back it seems


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 17,669 ✭✭✭✭fritzelly

  • Registered Users Posts: 126 ✭✭Aruba08


    Nothing in Waterford city for hours now


  • Registered Users Posts: 138 ✭✭Deaf student


    bit blizzard conditions now in Cork City. It's piling up and accumulating snow. Wind chill factor got v cold much colder than yesterday.


  • Registered Users Posts: 4,693 ✭✭✭SleetAndSnow


    Really coming down in bishopstown cork city now visibility is at about 700m or less I'd say.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 6,184 ✭✭✭Elmer Blooker


    I've just watched the BBC News 24 forecast at 2155 and the further outlook for next week is rather vague as you would expect but it finished with

    Coming down well now...finally

    Need to drive home from Kilkenny City to Cork City tomorrow morning. Debating whether to take the M9 or M8!?

    N76/N24/M8 or N77/M8

    M9 is a bad option because of snow on N25 both sides of Dungarvan


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 3,456 ✭✭✭scarepanda


    My apologies if this has been asked already/is a stupid question, but, with storm Emma, what are we to expect wind wise? Is it normal storm winds with snow added into the mix? Or will the snow affect the wind?

    I'm in south Roscommon and it's pelting down the last 20 minutes!


  • Registered Users Posts: 146 ✭✭Lepidoptera


    What has caused the change in conditions from the predictions earlier about the blizzard like snow tomorrow?


  • Registered Users Posts: 378 ✭✭brookers


    For the rest of the week.

    huh!! met eireann saying dublin going to get plastered....


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 5,022 ✭✭✭jamesbere

  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 17,669 ✭✭✭✭fritzelly

    Starting in Shankill, first we’ve seen on falling snow since the early morning. There was a good thaw on the roads but they look lethal now.

    I think wind blown snow is the general effect.

    On the local radio down here, emergency services enroute to Portarlington. 2 brass monkeys in a bad way it seems. Sever frost #theworst and Artic wind (they'd been thumbing).

    Apologies for me spelling. I used to work for RTE

    Blowing a gale here (East Meath). Heavy graupel shower just now. Layer upon layer of graupel today but it's all piling up.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 8,708 ✭✭✭Speak Now


    In Waterford myself but great to see Cork getting hammered off an Easterly.

    Snow on the bin outside the back door in cork city.


  • Registered Users Posts: 175 ✭✭teddybones


    Arklow
    the town with no BREAD, MILK OR SNOW 😭😭😭😭😭😭😭

    Wicklow is the same. The angst on social media would put me off weather watching. However i will persevere as i see a streamer making its way towards me on the radar...


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 777 ✭✭✭Skedaddle


    There's been a serious sump of snow over Cork City in the last while. My street is now officially inaccessible to cars the road has about 1ft of snow on the surface.


  • Registered Users Posts: 1,645 ✭✭✭Daniel2590


    Streamer has finally arrived in D18! :D

    Why would anyone ever take the M9 to Cork from Kilkenny? It's nowhere near the most direct. Clonmel route isn't great either. Go to Urlingford via Freshford and take the M8. When the roads are clear it's just under 2 hours.

    Actually looking out it's started again


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 6,506 ✭✭✭Oafley Jones


    I don't understand how I'm getting away so lightly (so far). I'm 15k north of Cork city and 200m above sea level. We'd get snow a couple of times a year when the city would be bone dry.

    I originally posted that in the technical thread but it was moved here. A knowledgeable poster is saying that we've seen the last of the intense showers for the rest of the week and I was curious what has caused the sudden change in weather conditions.


  • Registered Users Posts: 15,302 ✭✭✭✭stephenjmcd


    Very very light in bray but hopefully a sign of things to come

    A fog of light snow in Dublin 16 now. Windy too!

    Nice heavy shower had made it all the way across Ireland and was about 20km away from West Clare, when it just died a very sudden death.

    The joys of this weather :)

    Still a scattered accumulation, the wind here has removed alot of cover from some areas and deposited it in other areas, so depths are all over the place, ranging from 6cm to near nothing. Still alot more than I expected!

    Currently -3.4c now and no more drifting because everything's absoultely frozen solid.
