Sorry no, you'll have to break out the stuff you put in the freezer 2 weeks ago

this is what m.t. says but i can see how this will happen

I continue to think there's potential for some fairly significant snow to break out overnight and into Sunday across the southwest and inland south to southeast. But there's no cause for an updated forecast at this point

I know it was only 3 inches of snow, but there has been no thaw whatsoever today, so there are 3 solid inches of compacted snow/ice on the roads Absolutely lethal, especially since Cork is so hilly. I drove from Kilmallock, Co Limerick to Fermoy, Co Cork today and a 30 minute journey took me 1hr 15mins. No roads I travelled on had been gritted.

Was supposed to go out in Cork city tonight but decided not to risk it because the forecast was so bad for tonight, and also a good friend of mine was killed earlier this week in a crash caused by black ice on a road that hadn't been gritted (a mother of two young children) so I'm very wary.....

Don't travel unless you have to, and if you do travel please PLEASE take care.......

One day of no thaw on 3 inches, try a week and a half of no thaw on 16 inches then a slow thaw. Road still is totally covered in compact snow and ice here, i still have a a foot of snow piled at my back door(where snow fell from the roof).

lets just enjoy the low tempertaures. we are breaking records here (well, in Bray anyway).

-15 in letterkenny

giggsirish

Any experts/regulars about? Do the current models in any way mirror past events. 40's etc of the more recent 82 and 83 events or is all this totally new and against what the models being produced are capable of recreating.?

-8.0 in Kilcullen and falling slowly....

Yea,
I was watching one heading this way earlier and got a bit excited, then the hailstones started clattering on the window. Ah well.

I noticed this on ME 3hr forcast, a little shower especially for Cork City later, isn't it cute.

well it feels like it and that's what the ipod says, and the bbc had castlederg at -14 not too long ago (just kind of down the road about 1/2 hour)

-3.2c here in Waterford city, got to -3.9c earlier. Probably some maritime air in the mix stopping the temp dropping further. Some amazing lows tonight all over the country except in the south.
