Right lads, I've bought 27 loaves of bread, do ye reckon that's enough?

If there’s a tonne of snow do the kids have to do their homeschooling or can we call a snow day:)

This was my first thought also ðŸ€£ without a doubt it will be a snow day in this house , hopefully more then one snow day !!!

You can repeat the Leaving Cert but you can't repeat the snow day :pac::D

smellyoldboot · 02-02-2021 10:40pm

No ****, I'm working from home so no snow day but want to know do I need to book a day off for "essential" reason?

Keeps yours days off for some warm weather. It’s not going to be anything of note and will more than likely bring wet miserable weather as per norm.

Well, we can't move to "mittens" yet but I have seen enough to raise the alert level to "wooly hat" from Friday

Stay safe

Please someone tell me that I am not the only person on here who wouldn't be seen dead in a wooly hat? and especially one with bobble on top?

I usually wear my daughter's woolly hat with a bobbin. It says 'GRL PWR' in pink.

Standing around rugby pitches during our fine winters they become a necessity rather than a luxury. Hopefully I will have to break one out this month.

I have a collection of animal ones from when they were the coolest thing to have - love a good wooly hat

Nothing wrong with that ...... Unless you are the father

What days are looking most likely here for deep cold or snow? Weekend or beyond it?

No doubt they'll be quoting 'weather expert' Cathal before to long.
I've heard him on my local station a few times this winter and wouldn't be surprised if they have him on in the next few days if the charts don't downgrade.

lolie · 03-02-2021 1:22am

My cousin in Marlton New Jersey sent me this earlier today, morning time there.
Snowing from sunday and still going although at the time but turned to light rain in the afternoon as temps rose above 0c.
It reminded me of some of the pictures posted here from the East in December 2010, will we see similar posted next week i wonder

Kermit.de.frog · 03-02-2021 1:25am

Almost as good as Kildare in Feb 2018.

I remember the evening of Storm Emma, anxiously awaiting the epic snowfall to top up the bit of now frozen snow we had on the ground that had fallen a few days previously. As the evening pushed on and I read reports of areas all around Carlow town getting blasted all I had, was for all the world like glitter blowing in the wind!! Never been so disappointed. I think Mt Leinster had something to do with it

The control is the gift that just keeps on giving. Too bad its not that well supported.

Dublin Live is the worst for clickbait weather headlines. I can picture them running an article titled: "Beast from the East bringing heavy snow laced with Covid-19 droplets".

Kildare got buried in sea streamers before Storm Emma. North Kildare got buried then even more buried by the drifty Storm Emma stuff.

Significant snow accumulations possible next week especially in leinster

Met eireann

redsteveireland · 03-02-2021 7:07am

Met Eireann -

"Next week: Current indications suggest it will turn very cold next week with widespread frost and ice. Falls of sleet and snow are expected, especially in Leinster, with significant accumulations possible."

Who doesn't love significant accumulations of sleet?

He may have been when he was younger but he's grown into quite the t**t now. He longs to be the Irish Madden.

Is this now nailed on for snow on the east coast??

I'm out in Blessington Road, Naas. Just moved in last month. I wonder what it was like here for 2018/2010 events. It for bitter cold down this way at the start of January with a lot of frosty mornings/night and some days of lying snow. Hope we have a decent amount for our 1.5 year old.

You would be pretty much in the sweet spot

I am down in Sallins and we always do really well with these

2010 was madness and 2018 we were buried, roads impassable, train station was buried. Was a winter wonderland !

ECM pick of the bunch this morning for cold!!
Awesome charts in general but it isn't quite a classic Easterly with the air primarily sourced from South East Europe. Makes the south coast marginal at times
