    The charts from netweather for snow prediction - are those inches or what?

    Millimeters of precipitation falling iin the timeframe (3 hrs in the netweather charts)). To convert it into snow depth you can multiply by 10 for wet snow up to about 40 for very dry snow.

    Going by current charts, most snow would be around 20:1 ratio, so 1mm precip = 2 cm of snow.

    I've a bad feeling North Louth may miss the fun if its lake effect snow with a north easterly wind since that particular wind direction seems to be getting a fair mention. Cooley/Mourne hills will block any such precipitation. May be relying on a frontal snow event possible later in the week.
    I'm in Castlebellingham, it better snow with all the preparations I have done!

    You’d be amazed how well ye could do. Back in 2010 my dad’s family who live on the Beara Peninsula (basically the last place you’d expect to get any snow from a northern or easterly direction, and also one of the mildest places in the country), got a few cms out of it if I recall.

    I wouldn’t write anything off at this stage.

    I'm certainly not complaining with those charts but I can understand people for wanting to as the country will come to a standstill :P.

    But only for a week or so most likely. Although recent runs have been trending to the more prolonged.

    I've heard stories about 1947, 1963 and 1982, and now people round these parts are saying we may have a new rival for those. Beyond excited.

    I would hesitate to say colder overall, but possibly on par for snowiness.

    The thing that has me worried now is that it's gonna be too severe to get out and walk about in.

    I'll be out running. Have county road championships on March 11th. Ice on the road that day would end up proponing (spl?) it.

    The air source is colder than it was in 2010. Ultimately temps will be down to local variations and snow cover. -15 wasn't modeled this far out in 2010 either.

    I've a big decision to make now in how much I stock up.

    We had to get supplies airlifted in in 81, 85, 93 and 97. In 2010 we were better prepared but were stuck for a week beford we could get out anywhere.

    If we get what's being touted, I'm looking at 7 to 10 days being stuck here.

    Aldi is going to get hit hard in the morning.

    Even if it's only a week it would be fantastic, but please check the posts from syran in the winter2017/18 to see why it's likely to be more prolonged

    It all just seems too good to be true. Your just waiting for the bubble to burst. Oh it all just sadly took a southerly direction or the precipitation just didn’t unfold.
    But maybe just maybe this is the once in a life time chance when it all comes together🙏❄️☃️

    I haven't seen the irish news/weather since Wednesday. I'm flying back into Dublin late tomorrow night and driving cross country. Will this cold "snap" have started to kick by then eg. severe frost/ice?

    It is the latter for reasons I have stated in the Winter discussion thread for a few weeks now.

    No, should be ok. The airmass is very dry now so ice on the roads will not be an issue tomorrow night, just due caution for patchy frost in sheltered spots as it will be breezy.

    I'm confused, how is the 'special content' forecast for the Player any different to the normal broadcast after the news? I mean, surely either its a forecast, or it isnt??!!

    Looks like an attempt to mirror the UKMO's facebook posts which are extended to 8 and 10 minutes in some cases and much more in depth than joe public needs but very informative.

    Joanna is great, but unfortunately Met Éireann just aren't at the same level of polished yet. Not the fault of the individual meteorologists. They have the right idea though and will get there, doesn't help that the HD on RTÉ player never seems to playback in any decent quality!

    I remember my grandfather telling us stories from Leitrim about 1947. Bitter cold but dry for a few days beforehand and when they woke up the next morning they had to dig themselves out of their cottage. Drifts were up to 20 feet in places. Truly exceptional. And then further blizzards with sunny calm but freezing intervals.

    Without sounding alarmist but based on what I’m reading here there is a possibility that high ground in Wicklow could have similar conditions. And also, I know hunches aren’t scientific, but I have a feeling most parts of Ireland will see at least moderate snow before next weekend.

    By the looks of that new ME advisory tonight .. The CORK snow shield remains in tact through out the whole thing? Its mainly the east gets a drubbing?

    So at least in Cork we can go about our business as usual? Lots of pee'd off kids .. no snowmen or days off it seems?

    With such extreme conditions on their way, I would have expected that RTE would skip the mandatory 40-second advert before the forecast on the RTE Player.
