Indeed and the wintry showers we have had have been much more towards snow than the rain they were supposed to be. So if anything the snow may start early.

Casualsingby

Euro4 accumulations to 6am Thursday. Sweet spots for highest totals Westmeath, Offaly my interpretation winds so strong they blow showers away too fast from East and slow down over this area. Other sweet spot for highest total is around South Cork area. Large patches of no accumulations in South East.

There should be some form of elementary weather thread for these sort of posts.

It's the lack of respect that people are getting warnings for.

They don't read the forecast and jump in going "no snow here, such a load of crap". Ridiculous carry on.

Louth: Wind has picked up - F6 ENE - and fine snow starting to fall. Pretty darn cold!

joes girls

Very heavy Sleet/Snow shower here now and the wind has really picked up, feeling a lot colder.

I dunno, it's pretty cold outside - I'd say it might snow!

In all seriousness, stick a shovel in there and take 2 or 3 kilos for yourself, I won't judge.

It'll go to good use, it's not like you're gonna use it on your steaks.

There was a very light snow shower of dry snow about 30 mins ago in my part of bishopstown

Really? I'm over by Rossa Avenue and not a flake to be seen, blue sky, some clouds.

The snow is not really going to hit until tomorrow. The worst of it Thursday into Friday.

What do YOU not understand about that ????

THIS is the calm before the storm.

Nothing to do with Mods. A lot to do with stupid people.

Apart from the 6" forecast across Leinster for later today of course.

Mobhi1

Quite windy, and sunny in D11. 3.5/-1.2C and falling.

Bert Cooper

All this talk of snow and powder, it always makes me sad for absent friends who used to love their snow.

Miss you loads Katie. Forever in our hearts.

You sure it's a bag of salt? You sure it was Carlow COCO? Many a bag of coke dropped outside the wrong house in Carlow.

I work as a manager in the public service in Dublin. We have not received any notifications of closures at this time.

Any idea when they'll upgrade it to a red status?
I presume a lot of people and workplaces are waiting for that to happen before they take action so the sooner they announce it the better.

I'm hoping to commute to work in Dublin tomorrow but like storm Ophelia don't want to travel up and get caught trying to come home.

beefburrito

Probably no precipitation here,but there's dark clouds converging into East Clare.
Living in North Clare,but today I'm working in East Clare

5C in Limerick at 2pm.

Chilly wind

Generally calm

Tabnabs

Fupping freezing in Dun Laoghaire with a NE gale blowing down the Irish Sea from Scotland. Big old angry seas rolling into the bay.

It's been a long aul wait.

I'd give anything for a nice beefy streamer to form and douse all the doubters

Less and less likely it will be red warning.
