2nd Row Donkey

Kilnamanagh, D24 here.


About 7-8cm of fresh snow last night, with drifts of 40-50cm in places. Other parts of west Dublin - Lucan, clondalkin , D15 seemed to have gotten much more.

Hi folks,

What is the current view of Dublin, I'm down in fairview and trying to plan ahead for the day and it seems as if it is all over and done with?

Am I wrong?

Got my snow and pipes thawed happy days! Kids and dogs had a blast all morning had to hunt them in to warm up for a while. Thanks to everyone here I know I was a bit of a pest moaning 😂😂

It has started again in Dublin 9. Maybe a touch sleet 🙁

Have 2-3 foot of it in dunboyne...... The little lad has to go to the child miners (less than a hundred yards away) that walk will be fun.

Well that walk was quickly aborted once we opened the front door. I only looked out the back this morning which appears to have been somewhat protected ............

Saying on the radio there that it's now ok to "venture out" in red warning areas, but that because the warning is still active we shouldn't travel. What the hell is that supposed to mean??

it means you can go out and walk around you're locality....but under no circumstances do you drive on the roads

Today

Continuing very cold and overcast with scattered outbreaks of snow. The snow will turn progressively to sleet, but will be heavy and persistent across the south and east giving further accumulations over high ground.

This makes me even sorrier I came down from Ballycullen to Perrystown

Nettle Soup

Got another inch of snow in west Galway. The drifting in places is mad.
Still snowing but quite light.

I haven't seen a single flake since I got up early this morning?

So Emma didn't move as far north as expected and in the end it was a case of "nowcasting" which didn't surprise me, south Dublin seems to be northern boundary and not so much north of that

Epic scenes here in Clonmel, snowing heavy all night id say and no sign if it stopping.

The storm has delivered and no way anyone is leaving home in Clonmel.

Light snow falling now in Swords

What a joke, red warning. The 1 metre expected in South Dublin turned out to be an inch as I said last night when it was rain and not snow, so dissapointed

Yeah well loads of us got tonnes of the stuff!

I got a LOT more in 2010 so from an IMBY perspective it was a let down.
Non stop snow grains does nothing for me.
South Dublin seems to have got it all and I'm puzzled how some western areas got more in an easterly? +1c now and let the slush fest begin, I'd prefer if it melted in the strong March sunshine, at least we could say "if only it was January"

Well even in south Dublin Emma was a let down too in so far as we didn't get anywhere close to one metre as forecast, still plenty of snow about though

Super-Rush

Snowing worse than ever now.

Pipes frozen last night but we got to them just in time.

Plenty of drifts.

Location Carlow.

Just "ventured out" - Could only stay out for 3 minutes or so due to the wind, but what I saw was simply amazing. You can't see it on pics, but my lane way is filled with snow.. when I say filled, I mean filled.. 2m at places. Must be a snow trap, all the way down Never seen anything like it.

Not going anywhere today over a foot on the street outside the house. Waterford

Hour 6, one last look out the Velux at Meath Road in Bray before sleep and..............

...[Sigh] The Ice Pellets are simply not accumulating down here. Still only about 2cm at best on the footpaths and road that were clear at 9pm.

I am expecting to wake up to same about 9am. Beyond frustrating to be house-bound for the duration of this but without a big payoff at the end.

What promised to be the most incredible sequence of weather events delivering historic snow depths in decades is nothing of the sort where I am in Bray. FFS!!

I was just out investigating and while its basically all slush near the Seafront in Bray, it turns into real snow once you get inland from the main street. I went up the Herbert road for about half a mile and it's great - about 4-6 inches over most places and obviously deeper in the drifts. I'd say if you got even a little way up Bray Head it's good, deep snow.


That's looking up the Herbert Road from just past the side of the church.

Strange . I am in Tallaght and we have metre high drifts and outside my hall door is at least 50cms .We are basically snowed in .

Okay so many people are having a good time with the snow and a couple days off work. Good on you. Enjoy it.
The wildlife though has a difficult time in these conditions with snow measuring half a meter in depth in places, creating great difficulty for it to find food.
Give a hand and help it survive.

This is a tough time for birds. Keen gardeners will know that their natural food source has been depleted, leaving our feathered friends struggling to find food under the heavy cover of snow. They need all the help they can get.

They will eat seeds bread and apples.
DO NOT FEED THEM PORRIDGE OATS. When wet this can glue their beaks shut, starving them to death.

Foxes like cooked or raw meat and tinned pet food. Foxes also like other savoury items such as cheese, table scraps, bread soaked in fat, fruit and cooked vegetables.

Also call-in to elderly neighbours.

Thanks for taking the time.
Stay safe.

Emma is going full force in Meath, including heavy snow and wind.

You do realise that the weather can be very local? What do you expect, a warning system specific for your road?

I've been driving around this morning, I didn't see anywhere with a metre of snow haha

Ah you are fairly low down ........ I am up the foothills of the mountains so I guess that's why I did well snow wise.......... Its certainly a Red warning for me.
