    One of the guys on the tech thread says that's the last of the heavy stuff for the week. Hope he's wrong.

    He means in terms of the streamers coming from the Irish sea which is where our snow has been coming from so far. Nothing to do with the frontal event being caused by Storm Emma starting tomorrow afternoon - large snow amounts and dangerous conditions still very much on from this.

    My street in Turners Cross Cork is now completely unaccessable to cars. Im 28 and living in Cork City all my life and can only remember a proper snow maybe twice in my life, but this blows it completely out of the water, fierce exciting altoghether biy.

    There will be light showers nationwide tonight. Tomorrow morning there will be a lull but showers will pep up before the 4pm event, where things turn up to 11

    Somehow it feels like south east Dublin is the worst place to be in the main snow zone during this spell , I still haven't witnessed heavy snow ! It happened while I was asleep last night but that's it

    We got a serious snow overnight but i thought Kildare and others were hit worse?

    Watching the dog in snow for the first time realising he could eat snow and then getting brain freezes was the highlight

    Been living in this part of North Offaly near Clara for twenty years, no question the most snow we've had. December 2000 was epic, a polar low, but this is a different level. I cannot believe we will have a repeat tomorrow evening. Nature doesn't work like that...

    Just looked at the radar. Are those showers dying out on the way over towards South Dublin and North Wicklow

    No thats a radar glitch. That said, it should be over us right about now though and I don't hear anything on my attic bedroom roof or Velux yet.

    I'm feeling very pessimistic myself at the moment. I've a bad feeling about Emma too. :(

    I've a decade on you and have never seen anything like it. And all in two hour long bursts from about 6-7 and now in the last hour. The combination of the cold and the intensity of the wind and snow makes it amazing.

    I'm in Dublin 12 and hasn't been much going on tonight :( showers seem to be moving north and south of us. Have been in bed for the last hour cos I'm wrecked, but I keep checking this thread and then getting up to look out the window >.< working from home tomorrow (and have actual work to do and have to be logged in from 9am) but wish I could stay up all night!!

    It's like a scene from the day after tomorrow here in cork. Loud clap of thunder, followed by lightning. I can barely make out the lampost viability is so bad. I've never seen anything like this.

    Just to clarify, in the tech thread I said that we're past the heaviest of the showers. We should see a gradual decline in intensity in the next few hours. This is separate to Emma, which will be a dynamic-snow event, not relying on sea convection.

    One of the posters in the technical thread mentioned that the heavy snow is finished for the week. Has Storm Emma changed or is the poster mistaken?

    He said heavy intensity streamer snow would be finished .......

    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.

    This snow is coming from the east whereas most normal weather fronts come from the west. Take a look at this https://www.netweather.tv/live-weather/radar and see the weather fronts coming in along from Waterford. This is what’s hitting Cork. Mainly south coast; Yoghual, Midleton, Garryvoe, Carrigaline, Kinsale, Clonakilty all probably getting the worse, which is never the norm for snow in Cork. It’s usually northwest Cork that gets the most

    Not good news for north Wicklow and south Dublin then, just as a few are slowly lining up from Wales now. What kind of reduction are we talking about?

    When you say not good news do you mean they will get no snow or loads of sbow in South Dublin?
