    Rochestown in Cork, here. Stopped snowing, but its eerily bright. It's like the middle of the day. Occasional thunder and lightning from here anyway.

    Unreal to see the pics coming in from Cork. I know the Dubs and the Rebels don't usually get on, but can't begrudge them this tonight. What shield was that again??!! Delighted for ye. Hoping to get in in the action tomorrow here a few miles North of Tuam. Say safe all and well done Cork!

    Red warning seems a bit OTT to be honest, hope I'll be proved wrong. For example, what snowfall is Leitrim and Donegal going to get?

    Agreed. At the minute parts of North donegal are buried with constant streamer(dying out atm= but apart from that Emma shows less amounts for the NW that earlier runs today. I fear it's an Ophelia situation when it wasn't red in the NW either. I just don't see it on the current charts.

    Yeah I feel like this red warning is just to protect people and stop them from travelling. South and east still looking to be hammered. I highly doubt harmonie has something different unless met eireann received info from somewhere.

    A Status Red snow and ice warning has been put into effect for all counties with blizzard conditions expected from early on Thursday afternoon.

    The warning came into effect at 11pm Wednesday evening and will remain in place until 3pm on Friday.

    basically an upgrade!
    Was this a official statement at 11pm?

    I have been following this weather model for the past few days. It has been fairly accurate predicting the spells of snow to the hour.

    However tommorow there are no breaks in downfall, its continuous and it gradually moves up from the south through the country from 8am.

    I have to say, it seems a bit crazier out there now in Raheny than it has been all day. I would not like to be out in that wind,snow/graupel and cold right now.

    If it reduces the overall strain on those who must work through this spell, then it's worthwhile, in my opinion

    Surprisingly we've had a good deal of snow today in quite a few parts of Donegal. Not as much as further south so not really getting much coverage on TV etc but to put in perspective, we are at sea level bang on the shore and this is the most snow my 80 year old father has seen since '47.
