    About an Inch More snow in Cork, Mahon overnight

    Don't forget that EMMA Stalled out! Still in play ~ maybe !!!!


  • Registered Users Posts: 5,572 ✭✭✭Colser


    Heavy snow now near Cork City..looks beautiful.


  • Registered Users Posts: 76 ✭✭HankSchrader


    No snow here North of Athlone...in fact it looks like all the snow we got has been blown away!!

    The radar is showing precipitation and has shown it for the past few hours but zilch.


  • Registered Users Posts: 433 ✭✭fg1406


    Another update from east KK: very little snow overnight. Maybe a centimetre. Wind currently 4km/hr.

    Could someone please tell Pascal Sheehy that there is more of Cork outside Cork city...

    I’m 20 mins from Kinsale and we got very little overnight. Snowing now alright. It’s mad how different it is in such a small area.

    Met Eireann have just lifted the stay indoors advice.

    Some of you guys just don't like me calling it like it is :cool:

    Ah great, so I can go out now?...

    As an aside I'm watching Sky news and reports of people going out in their cars last night and stuck on roads since. Why do so many feel the need to travel when advised not to unless absolutely necessary.
    No wonder they are making a balls of Brexit.

    Disappointing peek out the window this morning in Donabate but the wet snow & failure of precipitation to come in from the Irish Sea leading to no extra snow.

    From a meteorological point of view this is a highly complex & fascinating battle between the Easterly cold & warmer wetter Storm Emma and a forecasters dream/nightmare. Fully understand those without an interest in meteorology just want to focus on what’s happening outside their door & we’ll have the usual squabbles about the appropriateness of warnings etc.. but for any professional or amateur meteorologist to predict exactly where the biggest impacts are going to be & how this complex setup will play out is nearly impossible even with all the best models & technology. It’s Mother Nature doing its thing.

    Still snowing in D15,don't think it's stopped atall in the past 24 hours


  • Registered Users Posts: 6,691 ✭✭✭Lia_lia


    My Mother had to leave for work at 5.30am in Kerry, hope she got there okay! Will have to ring her when she finishes. By the looks if things it did snow alright in Kerry, just not as much as other places.

    Still snowing away in Cork city. Kinda want to go out for a walk in it but at the same time don't want to get wet. :pac:

    Lots of drifting near Roundwood, but not close to the predicted totals, yet. Had to dig out to let the cats out the cat flap!

    Seems to be a bit more intense now, compared to when I checked during the night though. Electricity flickering, so biggest debate is whether to light the stove with back boiler or not.

    Very windy in Tullamore but no new snow since around 9.00 last night. Was looking forward to Snowmageddon but hasn’t materialized. If anything wind is blowing snow away.


  • Registered Users Posts: 1,785 ✭✭✭Ken Tucky


    Some overhanging from my roof. Hope to hell it doesn't bring my gutters down. Oh an an abandoned car in the middle of our cul de sac. Couldn't get out even if I wanted to lol!


  • Registered Users Posts: 1,546 ✭✭✭914


    Waterford (city area) is a complete white out. I have never seen this much snow, has well exceeded 2010. It is also still pouring down.

    The back door has a drop of about a half foot and the snow is a foot up the door.


  • Registered Users Posts: 9,786 ✭✭✭wakka12


    Has the red warning actually been lifted or is it just updating?

    What you talking about you I can’t even get out my door.
    Try the window?

    Still snowing lightly at @95m ASL, inland from Greystones, although probably only a couple of inches settled except for drifts.

    0C but snow looks wet.


  • Registered Users Posts: 25 Phil Jones


    Lots of drifts - some up to about 2ft!


  • Registered Users Posts: 4,344 ✭✭✭mojesius


    Snowing again in SE Meath. Gets deeper further down our road where it's drifting

    Judging by the radar, Waterford City is going to be hit hard shortly!

    Oh yeah, I just checked in on the radar again, another big blast coming I'd say.

    2 feet? How high are the wheels on those cars then? They must be monster trucks.

  • Registered Users Posts: 34 Midnight Sky


    Ah feck it anyway Ted.

    (My car is in that.)

    Location: Castlewarden North.

    Other pic is of the car last night before I went to bed.


  • Registered Users Posts: 12,475 ✭✭✭✭Mr.Crinklewood


    Newstalk news had a guy on saying he was stuck in car since 2345 last night and nobody was coming to rescue him.

    Hope he had a good reason to be driving in it.


  • Registered Users Posts: 68 ✭✭Vxlks


    STILL snowing here in South Dublin and heavy. My estate has decent accumulation from last night. garden pretty full with snow! How long is it supposed to keep snowing for here?

    Still snowing in Naas. We got some serious drift action last night. I live in an apartment and I can't open the balcony door! Window watching is going to be difficult now because the snow has stuck and frozen to the windows. Still have electricity thankfully. ðŸ˜
