Yep, I'm in the coombe, was brought in Saturday. Staff are doing 24 hour shifts and sleeping in dorms. They are incredible. Enjoy the snow everyone and stay safe.

Wish you the best!

Anyone with a temperature check for the country? My barometer is frozen (no joke) it's like walking on a skating rink in the yard.

Worried pipes will be affected.

Big flakes in Naas now

A few mins ago in South Dublin city center

Any idea for how bad it's going to get in Mayo? Have a close friends wedding there on Saturday and worried about its going to fare out for her.

Absolutely insane for the last 20 minutes in Mulhuddart D15.

Snow being carried by the wind like in the leftside of fritzellys video 2 above. Mesmerising to stand at the door and watch.

It looks like Naas could be in line for another pasting tonight.

The streamers don't look like much but they brought the unexpected levels through Casement > Naas > Newbridge.

Strong winds for the last while in Sandyford, but no snow showers for a good while.

So from my unexperienced eye this looks good for Waterford yes

Any chance that electricity supplies could be affected?

Do they have red weather alerts for weeks or months at a time in Siberia, where people dont go outside ?

i would imagine because they have it all the time. they are better equipped to deal with it. we cant really compare the two.
give the siberians all the rain we get and see how they cope

I'm awake and looking out the window here in Kimmage and cursing all you blizzard hoarders everywhere else in Dublin! Not much happening here but any snow we lost today has more or less been replaced over the course of the day. It's mad how bright it is out.

Please don't tempt faith. Was thinking of this before this all started for were I live.

Maybe you could get some heat into the attic to try warm it from the inside? Like where people grow weed up there, no snow or frost on their roofs :pac:

Yup it is

ME have made this red level warning nationwide and from now even though many parts of the country may see insufficient snowfall to justify that level warning. I wonder are they losing the run of themselves somewhat.

I looked out my window about 15 minutes ago and it was lashing it down.
Stopped now but no doubt will pick up again over the night.
Live in crumlin.

Couple more snaps from Douglas, Cork.
Thunder and lightning has stopped for now!

Just a reminder that MT Craniums Monthly Weather Forecast Contest is still open to entries HERE
Anyone can have a go so why no give it a shot!

Deffo more now than when i woke up this morning. Even the indents where I had my cans have been filled in. Interesting to see what the night brings if anything

Saganist

The wind is literally driving the snow so hard into my back door I can now longer see out properly. So long friends...

The precipitation rates at that point in the run (featured in your image) are negligible away from Leinster and Munster. This is a Red Alert for Munster and Leinster, and perhaps Galway. Fundamentally, I think our system of weather warnings needs redressing. Met Eireann are superb but I don't think for one minute that there was unanimous agreement or anything close to it in Glasnevin over this. Maybe, Gerry really is on holiday.... However, they are the experts and they get it right the vast majority of the time.

Edit: The precip doesn't really reach beyond the north midlands here so it's all the more puzzling - http://www.met.ie/forecasts/5day-ireland.asp

Interesting if true. The 11.55 forecast on Radio 1 called for Emma to affect "all parts of the country" at some stage.

There's always a chance - I think the major threat is tomorrow evening and the combination locally of strong winds and snow. Added to the mix is the potential for lightning.

And there goes February... and here comes March
