Irish Sea also looking very tasty for the next while, looks like a snow train heading straight for Cabinteely / Loughlinstown / Bray!

8 miles outside Cork City, very heavy snow. Can’t imagine what it’s going to be like in the Morning.

Heckler · 28-02-2018 11:17pm

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.

I live in East Cork so it's much of a muchness which route I take. U'd be sick of the M8 anyway driving on it all the time to Dubin!

I considered it but would the R693 not be a bit risky?

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.

You'll likely get some later on by the looks of the systems off the coast.

Going to bed.* Still nothing fresh doing in Firhouse.

*For another night of sleeping with my blinds tipped and one eye open.

bosco12345 · 28-02-2018 11:17pm

Remarkable times, probably will not see the likes of this weather for another couple of decades. Jealous of you cork folk right now. Here in east Cavan last snow shower half an hour ago dumped another few cm' s. About 4-5 inches of a blanket. Currently -5, brrrrrrrr stay safe people!

SleetAndSnow · 28-02-2018 11:18pm

We asked for snow in cork and we are getting it! Car just drove into my estate and the back wheens stopped turning all together only front driving. Crazy that epolle are still attempting to drive right now!

Can you explain that to a weather rookie?

Actually looking out it's started again

Shows bands of precipitation (snow) forming over the Irish Sea and heading towards Dublin, deeper red/pink means more intense.

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

He's only talking about Irish Sea showers, tomorrow afternoon onwards is a frontal event and won't be effected by the decrease in Irish Sea convective potential

wakka12 · 28-02-2018 11:18pm

I heard somebody say the steamer was good for dub laoghaire to Wicklow, does that mean Dublin areas like rathmines rathgar milltown willl miss it ? Thought the streamer looked like it'd hit me

Bit of dusty stuff falling in Sandyford village area.

Still a big lot incoming but a few hours away if it maintains

Is there something wrong with Gorey. Every one of these maps have that red ****e going over and under it. What about us?

Jim Gazebo · 28-02-2018 11:19pm

Bucketing is an understatement on what's happening in Cork City now. Holy god

stephenjmcd · 28-02-2018 11:19pm

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

Pangea · 28-02-2018 11:19pm

Hows things looking for South Donegal lads?

GhostyMcGhost · 28-02-2018 11:19pm

That real feel!

Skedaddle · 28-02-2018 11:19pm

Lightening in Cork City.

Aimsir · 28-02-2018 11:20pm

thunder in cork city couth now

Akrasia · 28-02-2018 11:20pm

Almost -5 outside ennis now and getting windy, but there's no snow to blow around.
Hopefully we'll get a few cms by morning.

Edit: just had to change the audio, youtube thought the camera recorded quality was too good! :rolleyes:

28-02-2018 11:20pm

Nothing in blackrock , Dublin. According to the live map it should be half way across south Dublin now

Rougies · 28-02-2018 11:20pm

Delighted for Cork, they were well overdue a good pasting!

Jesus it's very localised then, I'm by Cabinteely park, so only <2km away?

Thespoofer · 28-02-2018 11:20pm

Thunder now in East Cork.

bosco12345 · 28-02-2018 11:21pm

Message to cork people, post up a few pictures please want to see this madness

Kiith · 28-02-2018 11:21pm

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

Yes looks like ye will be lucky and get away with it. Seems more southerly than were you are

jdcv94 · 28-02-2018 11:21pm

I've just noticed Wexford has been being upgraded to Red alert for overnight snow/ice. Does ME see something I don't? There's literally no streamer action south of Angelsey in the Irish sea on their radar.

jamo2oo9 · 28-02-2018 11:21pm

Just went out for a stroll around in Santry after it calmed down. Hadn't been watching outside much today but this evening when there was a blizzard, it didn't drop much snow, just enough to cover the footpaths which was kinda disappointing but ah well, more to come tonight and tomorrow!

It's pretty bizarre . Nothing , the whole day has been sitting around waiting and..... Nothing. So maybe In the next 24hours

The wind just wasnt blowing in the right direction for us and we had the Anglesey shadow i think. Shockingly disappointed after following for.weeks. i sent my first excited email to my friend on 6th of february. Ah well hopefully emma will provide tomorrow night.

Ok, the original question was to Cork city.

R693 is fine. I travelled that road for quite a few years going up and down to Cork. With clear roads you would be in Urlingford in 20-25 min from Kilkenny easily.

pad199207 · 28-02-2018 11:22pm

Naas in the clear at the moment. That wind is very strong. Blowing Snow affecting visibility

Hyblaeus · 28-02-2018 11:22pm

I can’t believe I finally hear THUNDERSNOW

(In Douglas Cork)

bloopy · 28-02-2018 11:22pm

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?

LongfordSligo · 28-02-2018 11:22pm

😡😡 sitting here in Enniscrone (West Sligo)... no snow here

No I think it's Belfast radar acting up, the view being impeded by the showers in between. Netweather radar doesn't use the Dublin radar, well the free version at least.

twirlagig · 28-02-2018 11:22pm

My apartment is ‘fresh’ at the best of times to say the least! I know it’s really cold when I come home and it’s warmer inside than outside!

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

northgirl · 28-02-2018 11:23pm

Lots of thunder in Cobh, Co. Cork.

That makes no sense for him to say that, if tomorrow is red alert

Daz9718 · 28-02-2018 11:23pm

So cold in rathfarnham, temperature -4.3 and it's just partly cloudy , come on steamers , the Irish sea always seems to come to life after midnight
