I dunno but if it is heading the same direction as everything that has gone ahead of it today, we'll be seeing feet of snow here...

Here is what M.T. Cranium had to say about that...

M.T. Cranium wrote: »

Snow in southwest seems likely to miss Cork and gradually pull out to sea from current areas affected.

Snow in east and southeast is set to continue and move slowly further inland to cover parts of inland southeast and even the southeast coast as far as Waterford and possibly Dunvargan. Amounts further west may be nowhere near as great as coastal Dublin and Wicklow but could start to accumulate several cms. Meath is likely to see some of this snowfall at least in the eastern half of the county, possibly parts of Louth eventually too.

This eastern snow is more than just a streamer event, I've analyzed it as an inverted trough leading to a meso-scale low east of Wicklow that is steady-state and being continually fed from the southeast as very cold air streams out of the Welsh highlands mainly at levels just above the surface. This is creating a large snow shield (not the kind that prevents snow, the kind that is made of snow) with sea-effect enhancement (essentially streamers on steroids). Total amounts could be double whatever you've had so far as we seem to be nearing the half-way point of the event. :eek:

Amounts will be highly variable place to place in this situation but it is quite possible for a further 20-40 cms to fall on top of what's already down in some places. Amounts for areas not yet covered at all might increase gradually to the 5-15 cms range. Forecast update will reflect all this.

Its stopped again. Its going to be very heavy on and off for a little while then go very heavy, then light/disappear for a good bit. If the temps drop to what I reckon they will, we will all be screwed tomorrow!

EDIT: Back again!!

Would it be tied into the tank directly in the attic? or does there definitely have to be another small tank?

most off them have their own tank but if ya cant find one their should be a one inch pipe feeding out of the main tank to your boiler if it is a pressure system it has non return valves on the system so no water can drain back a pressure system has a red pressure vesil it wont blow up

No, the snow just blocks the signal. Throw a football at the dish to knock the snow off.

Just back in from doing something similar using a dog toy. Managed to get it all off but wasn't too pleasant sticking my arm in to the deep snow around the shrubs to retrieve it each time. Back up to a decent signal strength again.

I'm sure next time Cork gets over a foot of snow widespread we will watch the same :pac::pac::pac:

LookingFor

Never seen such consistent snow. Just keeps going and going, alternating from moderate to really heavy.

The house across from me had a bit of an avalanche off their roof. Get to better appreciate the thickness of now.

Seriously, people from Cork especially would want to fcuking get over themselves. Dublin is the biggest urban area in the country. A QUARTER of the whole population of this country lives here. Dublin is the most important place in Ireland whether you fcuking like it or not. Yes, if there is huge disruption to services in Dublin due to snow, well then they will talk about it more. As DUBLIN IS IMPORTANT. Fcuksake.

Rain and only rain:( Oh well. Wind has picked up more aswell.
