Severe Weather Snow / Ice Weds 28 FEB ( Onwards ) ** READ MOD NOTE POST#1**

Strong Life in Dublin

It doesn't seem to be snowing much in D24, but I just looked out my back garden and I kid you not there must be over 1 foot of snow and I don't think its from drifts because its flat, the drifts against my wall are definitely higher than a foot.

Raging blizzard, sheets of it battering the dalkey coast. No exaggeration

Sam Quentin

Windy here with sharp fast gusts and snow still falling, depth rising slowly.

.....nope.......still just a dusting on the roads in my corner of Bray.

This deeper red blob out in the Irish sea better deliver the good stuff

Xanax yet to kick in.

Greystones is getting lashed out of it,so close to bray

I reckon about 2 inches of snow in SW Wexford so far , its steady very light flakes

jamo2oo9

Popped outside for a bit to see what it was like as windows weren't too clear. Door is frozen shut with ice!

Current view in Ballygunner, Waterford.

That hazy look is just constant, light snow driving sideways.

Cleared this at 6 this evening thinking it would be ok to cover night, how wrong was I. This is south facing door too btw.

City centre is all grainy snow. But it has the feeling of seriously big stuff about to drop at any moment.

Also seen some of the biggest icicles I've ever seen. So big that I broke them down incase then split some poor git open.

United road

I just cant take all this in! Never in my wildest dreams.............
Truly a once in a lifetime event in these shores you feel.

Massive call out to all the boards regulars for calling this so early and posting charts and explaining them in a way i can grasp the concept!

This forum is class, but on a big event nite it’s incredible.
Best compliment i can pay all the regular posters and the mods.........

I recall joining boards in 2011 after another snow event for Ireland that failed to materialise.
I was disgusted it went pear shaped so late in the day, i ranted, raved, suggested MT was delusional and i acted the spoilt brat and rightly was banned for a few days after too much mouthy comments (Lumi ahem!)
Yet i came back, was in fact welcomed back, and 7 years on im still here, still no clue of charts but know who the top guys are to follow, i would not miss weather on boards ever!
You guys really rock!

Future is bright too .......... Sbryan

Storm Emma, its making me in to some sort of wuss..... oh well!!

By all accounts your getting the same as us in bray, from what I’ve heard from people down there anyway

Dublin 24, looking at car you wouldn't think much has happened but my back garden has huge drifts of Snow, I have four steps up to a raised garden and you can't see the steps at all. At its deepest I'd say it's easily over 1.5 feet if not 2 foot and with plenty to come. Non event my arse ! The car won't accumulate snow on it due to strong wind blowing the fine Snow, hence the drifts.

You must be joking? I live close to the seafront in Bray, just walked out onto the street, and footsteps from when I last checked an hour ago are now gone.

These small snowflakes are causing decent accumulations, and are building steadily for what’s to come.

If you look at the radar, only a tiny piece of this storm has currently passed over the Bray/Shankill area, there’s hours of this to go.

I’m confident we’ll get falls that are not too far from the predicted meter.

I dont know what he's on about either, I just walked across the road to Aldi up on the Boghall, the snow in the carpark is a foot deep in places, nearly total whiteout, my footprints were gone as I walked back ten minutes later aswell, this is unprecedented, 12 more hours of this?!

Some serious drifts happening at the moment in Clondalkin. My wall is just over 4 foot and it's half way up, back garden is worse.

mickmackey1

Just heard Siobhan Ryan on the radio saying she expects the worst to be over... by Saturday night!!!

Going by what I've seen and some of my own reanalysis, most certainly.

Cheers.

Must say some of you who are looking more at the more subtle climatology - and you in particular - called this event from a long way off, months not weeks.

Major kudos where they're due to you, MT, GL, and a few others I'm forgetting to name for sure.

I used to have a wall at the end of my garden. :eek:

DominoDub

Live close to the docklands a few floors up and my view of the tower crane (SOBO along the liffey ) is starting to fade ..so we are looking like go for more intense snow.

Slashermcguirk

Stepped out in dublin 5 (raheny) and the snow is hammering down, hard to see the snow in the massive gusts but straight after stepping out, covered in white gold. Can hardly see across the street!

But you did do a snow dance .... it’s all your fault

If it gets to the stage where you're saying "there used to be a shed in the garden" we'll know things are really bad :pac::P

Thank you, I did underestimate it though for its extremes - I didn't want people to think I'm bananas for going mental nor did I want to disappoint myself like I did for Winter 2016-17.

Just remember these three words for a thing like this in future, sudden stratospheric warming.

That's the only thing of what made me call this several weeks ago (although on a much lower scale).

As a biker that is absolutely Darwin candidate stuff riding in this weather. No doubt he had dropped it a few times before he decided to walk

It's quite unbelievable how thick some people are

Would that be same one who was ragging it about in the 5 inches of snow on Wednesday morning ?

Assetbacked

Rooftop access door is unlocked in my apartment block in Docklands of Dublin 8 stores up....tempted but scared to head up.

Currently sitting at 8cm in Greystones last time I checked half an hour ago, likely 10 now.

Is anyone in Dublin getting proper snow? Still getting them ice pellets in Blanch
