I've decided that if I wake up to not much more than I have now down near the seafront in Bray, I'm going to put the snowsocks for the car to use and take a drive up to the big snow 1.5 km away on the Boghall Road but 150m higher.

You in the Shadow of Mount Leinster?

Not quite. That’s a good 30km away at least.

Low temps, weight of snow, freezing H20 makes lines less flexible etc

I'm just wondering are people possibly overloading networks in some areas too with a lot of electric heating loads.

For those of us expected in work tomorrow I presume it's reasonable to say now I won't be able to make it in. I live a 20 minute drive away

Taking Cavan and Monaghan out of the red warning seems like an error of judgement to me. They are very likely to see in excess of 8cm more.

2”+ of snow now on the ground here near Mallow - amazing drifting even at this early stage. Never have I ever seen anything like this.

Delighted for you , you waited long enough

Depends where you are. Most councils have said that they won't be gritting/clearing roads until tomorrow afternoon.

HelloMrSnowman

Good report right now on Sky News right now on both Ireland and England regarding storm Emma

Where are you? I doubt roads will be open in dublin tomorrow morning. Could easily make up an excuse your road/cul de sac is impassable anyway even if the council are continually gritting main roads tonight

U in Loughrea?

Real heavy snow in Bray now and not forecast to stop until Saturday acccording to the apps I use. That's an incredible amount of snowfall.

This is fairly insane here in D16. About 25cm of accumulation on my garden table, drifts have started crawling up my hallway windows. About 12-16 inches now I'd say.

And the main show is only just about to begin. Suddenly concerned about food and electricity.

A picture from Waterford a little while ago. Fine snow driving sideways. It's cool!

Nah. That kind of stuff is easily manageable.

Maybe for the next weather event automatic bans can be handed out for posters that write off an event before it has even started . Would certainly make it easier to navigate the threads and a lot less annoying to read.
Anyway it's snowing in Dublin now so Red advisory is accepted I guess

Its been snowing in Dublin all day.

Snowed all day in Monaghan Town. Albeit a light fall at times, but falling on accumulated snow. Main roads treacherous as I was out and about 2 hours ago. Very strange downgrade and wind starting to pick up now.

Mr Bumble

Continuous blizzard now in Delgany....piling up at a remarkable rate.
+1 to someone who tipped hat to sryanbruen for spotting this so early

Mind me asking where in D16? I'm Just off Sandyford Road and still seems like the ice pellet/fine grain kinda stuff to me?
