That 9 weather was no different than today or even yesterday she repeated the same all over again pretty much. It’s nearly like a repeat.

And there's the WINK 😂😂

Looking fairly dry tomorrow so according to ME. Still no mention of Friday's potential event so uncertainty remains obviously.

Joanna. That was a ****e weather report!

Looks like we’re gonna get it though!

MissMoc

Poor Joanna seemed exhausted in that forecast

Conditions in the UK could well be worse than Ireland, as they have a longer fetch for showers in the North Sea. The very south of the UK could avoid the worst of the snow on friday but that's yet to be seen.

That report was perplexing

That was a pretty meh forecast...no ramping from Joanna :-(

Weather warning for extreme cold and significant snow immediately followed by a gardening feature beginning with words "spring has sprung"

Well done RTÉ. Earning your licence fee as usual

Thought Joanna sounded a bit less serious about the next couple of days. Lots of focus on Thursday as opposed to Tuesday and Wednesday which maybe means MÉ are getting worried about the low?

Depends if you're a Huddersfield fan I suppose...

In 2010 we hadn't a pot to piss in with threads like this. Now this thread is full of feckers worried about walking to work, going to work! Followed by more worried about flying off to football games! Lots of shopping for shovels, socks and food too!

Ah lads! The boom is back!:D

The last 2-3 yellow warnings were nearly word for word repeats

The percentage intervals in my snowfall predictions are confidence levels, they should be interpreted as 50% being the most likely to verify (outcome equally likely to be below or above this value), 100% is interpreted as maximum possible given the guidance. Obviously in theory you could have more than that if the most extreme guidance coincided with the most prolific outcome possible for that guidance, so this is averaged over all available guidance (weighted for reliability).

Entirely subjective of course, others may have different estimates. As to what I would personally forecast, my hunch is take the 75% column, but for maximum snow depth, that will be a bit less because this is a table of total snowfalls (adding each day) and maximum snow depth relies on previous days' snow being fully present to time of measurement, which rarely occurs unless it is very cold and not windy.

Said I would not be posting here (to assist access mainly) and will go back to that unless I think there is any issue like this that requires clarification.

Any idea of what the forecast could mean for train services, getting the train from cork to Dublin on Friday morning.

the 12 th man

I think that RTE weather report needs clarification !!!

I knew the thread felt a bit slow / too post my message. Welcome all!

Sorry I already asked but any chance of another red warning meaning employers will cancel work travel? What day is meant to be the worst in Dublin.

I plan on laying decking over the snow. Patio heater on that, and it'll all be grand once I get back from my apartment in Bulgaria. I'll be mostly travelling by jetski.

Anybody know if it'll snow in Bulgaria on Tuesday?

Joanna emphasised how far these showers could stretch and how widespread they could be, something which she hadn't done in previous threads.

It's like people are searching for a downgrade that isn't there!

It was where we are. I'm hoping for the snow version of "ah shur twasn't that bad" "ah shur twas a bit of wind and noting else like"

Oh Christ,can you imagine the moaning that will go on for days after the event if they issue a red warning.

Remember everyone the forecast in the OP is updated - it might answer some questions in advance. It will be updated each afternoon.

Cheers
