Started snowing again in Ringsend.

Great to see Cork getting so much, amounts must be on a par with Dublin at this stage.

Well it wont be nothing come 8am. And it'll be coming from a different direction and like nothing you have seen before.

Right click on the valid for and moves it by the hour. It'll give you an idea of what is coming your way!

Not to be a joykill, but I honestly thought with all the posts that Cork was going through an Antarctica phase. Looking at he photos, it just looks the same as here (Dublin 10 - which is by no means he worst hot spot!).

I thought that too, I think snow is just more rare in cork and maybe that's why the huge amount of excitement ? Sorry to talk about ye so patrionisngly hehe

It has been extended from Noon on Friday to 3 in the afternoon. Looks as if this event just keeps on growing...

Any guess as to where the first glaciers will form?

If that's it, 100% happy for there excitement. Maybe it's my naivety in assuming they get snow!

questionmark?

Thunder rumbling now in Midleton. It's mad. Feel I should have bought some Brennans bread to feel better!

The tonight show have just advised the Red warning is now nationwide.

Is it just me or is met eireann all over the shop lately. Chopping and changing warnings for different places, I don't think they know where and how significant this is going to be. Red warming for all of Ireland seems to be just to cover themselves

You say that but we've had three hours of moderate to heavy snow with these warming upper levels.

Gaoth says the worst has passed, met eireann just updated to red for the whole country. Place your bets

Not a flake in North Kerry, hardly anything over the last couple of days.

A week ago this seemed like it was just an east coast event, now a nation wide red alert ! It's really way more exciting when everyone's getting a bit

mirrorwall14

My guess is the snow is now so widespread at just 11pm that by morning the place will be completely unsafe and the winds will be rising

Has stopped in Cork City.....for now....

He said the convective showers off the sea

Tomorrow's event is a totally different animal

He never said that. Check his post history, he clarified what he meant.

They probably didn't want to put out a Nationwide red until the point they considered the risk of a Nationwide severe event to be great enough.
