    The red alert is active since 5am this morning so no, it's not just for things that may happen after now. It's an active event for nearly 3 hours. Do you get that part?

    Its simply not justified and is a case of over the top forecasting.

    So if 10cm falls between now and 12pm and everyone is in school and work, do you think it's safe for them to go? Especially if the public transport will cease operations today if it gets to that point.

    No, of course not. The red warning is for the FUTURE event happening today. It's simply there for everyone's best interests and safety.

    Second rogue snow shower here in tipp, like the first it seemed to beef up as it approached us from the east. 15 cms here now, greatest snowfall I have ever witnessed and I was not expecting anything here today.

    Not impressed with Met E in regards to the south of the country, particularly Limerick. We are not included in any of the warnings active at the moment, but we are also waking up to the white stuff this morning??

    Fine. In 24hrs and 48hrs I'll reply and it'll still have been an overblown warning that was never in the league of a red alert.

    Big dumping of snow here in Deep South Roscommon, was not expecting this, never seen snow as powdery before. Rang the lads, everyone off work.

    Loads of snow here in North Kildare, only around 1cm when I went to bed but a good 7 or 8cm this morning at a guess so a nice surprise. Still coming down now so should be a fun day ahead :D

    Criteria for a red alert is defined...once the criteria are met, a red alert is issued.

    Nothing that has happened until now justifies a red alert, the alert if for what is going to happen. Righty or wrongly I guess they expect today won't be as bad in Limerick as in other parts fo the country.

    Yes Wexford orsnge warning seems over the top , while inland counties should have been included
