On the Louth coast here .. and just a dusting this morning

Portweather

My god Ireland am just showed weather charts for a wind storm coming in from the west saying this is the snow chart for today! No wonder people get panicky when so much fake info is broadcast

At least 15 cm here, will measure later ☺️, suncroft kildare

Red alert is from this morning and covers forecast snow for today onwards. So whilst you may get around now later could be very very difficult.

Here in Kinsale we have had more heavy snow overnight and snow flurries have started again. South Cork has an orange warning but everyone here thinks we should have red. All local schools closed. Roads impassable. I understand that it is not as bad just 10 miles north of here so we have been it particularly bad on the coast. Met Eireann should take account if this. Plenty of people trying to get to work live here in South Cork too.

Really? Good 4 inches in D14 now. Still snowing lightly to moderately.

What part of D14? I'm in D14 and I was delighted to wake up to winter wonderland but I measured 5cm!

It's being incorrectly labeled this, storm Emma is tomorrow night.

Just a note of caution on radars you might see, there have been times where the Welsh radar was off-line and one or two others have missed a frame or two on animations, so check against satellite imagery before drawing any conclusions about lack of snow streamers in any given part of the upstream flow.

As outlined in the technical thread, conditions will be very good for heavy snow streamer production over large parts of the east and south at times later today, after a brief intermission.

Oh, and I got here because a well-known weather forum member invited me over in 2007 (I think it was) when we were chatting on Net-weather which I had joined because of my research interests, so I thought it might be good to expand my reading to this forum too. At first my main interest was just following weather discussions in this part of the world to get a better idea of how to apply some research to Europe. The forecast thread started in 2009 as a misguided idea of mine that lots of people would want to talk about forecasts on a daily basis. Since I'm usually the only person regularly on this forum up at 0400h, I started posting forecasts and it evolved into what you see now.

This is going to be a wild ride, I think, but variable from place to place. Thursday night and Friday might be more widespread chaos, we'll see.

It depends where you are in Dublin tbh, there's 7cm where I am in D7.
