Absolute and utter idiots.

Same with people driving around and couldn't be arsed scraping the snow off their windscreens first

Have to get to work tomorrow night (midwife) usually takes 15 min drive to get to work (Dublin) or else a 25 min walk.. have to be in work for 8pm, considering the weather warning would I be safer to drive or walk do ya think?

Will be returning home around 8am Fri morning

UK Met office have a very much higher standard for red warnings and they have issued red for Scotland tonight. Very rare.

Only a Yellow warning issued for Cavan yesterday but we got way more than we bargained for

Super-Rush

We've had snow on and off since yesterday afternoon here in Carlow. Broadband services are down since last night and mobile signal is up and down.

Got about a foot and a half in total. I cleared the car this morning to try and go to work but i couldn't get out the driveway.

When the sun is out its melting a bit but the wind then picks up and its freezing again. Attached pic is from my car if it uploads.

I had always pinpointed Wednesday afternoon to be poor for activity in Dublin. A direct Easterly is no good for Dublin and Wicklow. Wonder will what is exiting Wales in the next while pep up, as nothing Irish sea created will pop up in lee of Anglessy for Dublin.

There is a lot of strength in that sun. No prolonged spells yet but cloud is breaking up and there's definitely thawing starting to begin. Winds are pretty locked in this direction till early hours tonight - hopefully we see something else before the front tomorrow.

Just watching the RTE news and weather. It seems that storm Emma is going to make landfall at about 4pm tomorrow where it will clash with the polar vortex currently over us, very strong winds with blizzards for almost 24 hours... the weather systems colliding over us.. it could almost.... be... a .....PERFECT STORM!!!

Met eireann massively ramping up the snow accumulations from 4pm tomorrow until midday on Friday for Leinster and Munster. Massive snowfall expected and people not to be outdoors. For people experiencing any thaw right now, don’t think that will be for too long.

So much for the eagle and his rain prediction

Lot of melt today on surfaces despite the temperature currently at -0.1c. Hopefully more to come in West Clare.

We're getting it coming down quite heavy in Kinvara - it's probably coming your way!

Snow all day here
Time to go back to work!

Patiently waiting here in Mayo for the snow. Hoping that tomorrow and Friday will bring the showers to the West. All weve got so far is tiny snow particles floating in the breeze.

They can TELL you to go home but they can’t keep you inside. So shup the whinging.

Thank you very much but if I want to go out after 4pm tomorrow, I will and what's more I'll take responsibility for myself unlike a lot of 'snowflakers' we've bred in this country in recent years.

Over a foot fell in The Curragh. Melting in the sun.

Have only lost 3 cm due to the slight thaw,, sun has passed its highest point so you will see less of any thaw and things will start to freeze hard.
I am on the curragh also

harr

I wish this sun would **** off...melting all my snow and no sign of any fresh snow falls all heading in wrong direction..big thaw on now even with it being-1

Well maybe, someone should have a word with government spokespeople then and advise them to temper their advice.
