Heating and plumbing might be the best for you ?

That wind out there now, Jesus. :eek:

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

Brae100 · 28-02-2018 10:49pm

At this point, looking at the latest runs, you'd have to really question the Eagle's forecast on TV3 on Monday. He said that this was all hype and that it would wash away by the weekend. He gave that forecast as pretty much written in stone. Didn't mention any possibility of the now likely outcomes. Very unprofessional. I wonder if there is a bit of a power struggle going on in Glasnevin and if the wimmins were getting too big for their boots? Evelyn, Johanna and Michelle have been very bullish about this outcome and they look like being proven correct.

Thanks didn't even think of that.

SleetAndSnow · 28-02-2018 10:49pm

Visibility just dropped massively in cork, can see a lot of snow drifts too with the wind strengthing. This is gonna be a heavy shower me thinks.

sunbabe08 · 28-02-2018 10:50pm

yikes the east coast is gonna get hammered tonight

fritzelly · 28-02-2018 10:50pm

If south Dublin doesn't get one almighty dump from that big blob incoming it will be unbelievable (using technical terms there)

Kettle of boiling hot water over the hose pipe and cylinder and valve should free it right up

Plenty of showers all evening, none really that heavy but not too bad, one of the heaviest all day just started.

Nice little dusting east side of the city. A fair bit more in the easy of the county.

I bought yak-trax last week and I would highly recommend them.

Had them in 2010. They were brilliant. I used them to walk the 5km into work, didn't even have to slow down.

I've heard the name a bit recently, but who's 'the Eagle'?

Best wait for the morning reports, its impossible to tell right now which will get hit worse. But have it behind you by 1pm.

sumtings · 28-02-2018 10:53pm

Will there technically be no Met Eireann warning for Dublin tomorrow from 12:00 to 16:00?

Currently thinking M8 as the N25 from Waterford to Cork is very hilly and both counties with a red warning now. Tipp and North Cork seemed to have gotten off lightly so far.

John Eagleton, a senior forecaster in Met Eireann that used to present on TV and radio, but hasnt for some time. Cool as a cucumber and conservative by nature.

q85dw7osi4lebg · 28-02-2018 10:55pm

Coming down heavy at coastal Meath. Finally!

grenouille1966 · 28-02-2018 10:55pm

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.

The M8 is the only logical option.

It's really hotting up over the Irish Sea or should I say cooling down

I'll never forget your post from the other day predicting Cork will get no snow "Too mild and too far south" :pac: I remember reading it at the time and thinking this person is going to be so wrong!

Looks good for Dun Laoghaire to Bray. Plenty of stuff coming behind it, everywhere north of Wicklow town is in the running really.

My only use of boards up until recently has been to look for dominos pizza codes!!
Have been following this thread since last week. Decided to register this evening!

Thanks to boards and the posters I was able to stock up on essentials and had everything in place for the kids to enjoy the weather.

We lasted outdoors for a good bit today before little hands got too numb!

In South Dublin and our estate is lethal out there this evening, iced up. Kids snowman still going strong!

Christmas FM will be back on tomorrow with weather updates and snow and Winter songs

I’m in south side of the city (Kimmage) and we’ve been getting a bit on and off on top of last night’s dump, a few heavy showers but nothing really spectacular. Hopefully that’ll come at some stage.
