Severe Winter Weather, Snow/Ice - Sun 25th Feb (Onwards) ** READ MOD NOTE POST #1 **

Paully D

Just got hammered with a snow shower on the south-east coast. Enough to firmly stick and to make snowballs etc.

Mad to think it’s probably about a fiftieth of what’s to come in the next few days!

I'll only take warnings from ME over donegal weather, but thats just me, even if they can be totally wrong

Donegal weather channel has taken the decision to upgrade Cork and Waterford to a orange snow & ice warning. The euro model shows accumulations disruptive accumulations in the area by Wednesday morning.

Other areas have also been added to the yellow warning due the risk of showers making it further west over night and tomorrow morning giving a dusting in places.

10 minute extremely heavy snowfall here on the Tipp/Kilkenny border. Good dusting after landing, but seems to have stopped now.

I can see a lovely view of the Dublin Mountains from my home. I cannot see Kippure at the moment, it must be snowing over there now!

Am guessing at ground level or so it would be D14/16?

5 minute snow shower here in West Clare, stick to grass and against walls. Completely dry stuff, could see it coming from a mile away, visibility went down to zero, bit dinner plate snow.

Never seen this amazing in 2010! Nature is amazing.

Calling in from Edinburgh here. We have amber warning beginning shortly after midnight. 
So far the snow is sticking, but very intermittent with sunny intervals. So I imagine this is how it will be for Dublin and the east coast. 
Met Office are expecting 10-15cm of snow.... here's hoping!

Just re-checked the met warnings. the yellow warning for Kilkenny, Longford, Wexford, Offaly, Westmeath, Cork, Tipperary and Waterford doesnt happen till 18:00, but we seem to have already seen some showers especially wexford. Interesting

Looking East here youd think Dublin was getting hammered

Donegal weather is fairly spot on. Only issue I have is he issued a red warning over the weekend. He also sells sponsorship on his updates so putting a red warning to increase views

Quick shower in kildare , I wish the sun would set now so anything falling might stick

I guess we'll be having busloads of refugees from the rest of the country up here soon (not trainloads, due to the lack of tracks in Donegal). Time to put up the barbed wire..

Build the wall, Mexico and Dublin can pay it.

The media seem to be totally confusing the public with regards to storm emma, with the Irish Independant stating the 'Beast from the East' has been named storm emma, and twitter latest now shows 'Storm emma is already raging over europe why isnt anything here'. *Sigh*
