    This is not about what it is, but what it can be I think.

    No point in declaring red alert after.

    I get that, but what a red warning does now, to schools, to businesses, to transport, to elderly people.... I see nothing in any model to warrant a RED warning for the north west.

    Anyway, don’t mind me being a grumpy killjoy. I love snow as next as the next 34 year old toddler so here’s hoping for snowmageddon now they’ve gone and issued a red warning.

    I think what's happening later should affect the whole country. I could be wrong

    Snowing in Waterford the last hour.. Looks about 3 inches more overnight, but we had quite a good thaw yesterday in the sun. Roll on the blizzard.

    It's feckin bitter in rathfarnham. Looks like a couple of cm here too.

    I must say, the grit that my brother got out of his job done an amazing job on what we cleared yesterday. The pathway is completely still clear

    That’s the thing with it being late Feb and early March, the sun is a good bit stronger than in midwinter.

    A decent fall overnight here in West Dublin too. A bigger fall than the night before!

    The radar appears to be useless, it's way off where is actually snowing and where isn't. Looking at the sequence for here tonight you would think it's been pelting snow all night, but in actual reality no. About a half cm on the car since midnight (which is the sum total since 4am yesterday morning), and the road which was white from yesterday has thawed back to black again. Looks like ME need to scrape the snow off the front of their radar.
    south Dublin city.

    Met says - 7C in Cork. That's out by the airport though, higher altitude. Don't think it's that in the city.

    That is the million dollar question! Most forecast models are giving a lot of snow for south Dublin.

    The netweather radar is a bit better, shows that it probably should be snowing in Waterford

    Would not be the least bit surprised if it fell as rain or sleet, having spent a day watching snow thaw under a red warning for a further 25cm yesterday that never came.

    Netweather radar is showing things much further north that they are

    See the ME radar, it looks right

    Any idea what would be causing that ?

    Very unlikely....for Dublin and the northern 2/3 of the country at least.

    -5 in South Kilkenny. Just up, very thick blanket of snow on the ground, 2 inches, 3 inches in some parts. It seems to have snowed most of the night, I was up a few times with my dogs because they were all acting a bit weird, and each time I got up, it was snowing. It's snowing now again.

    No work today or tomorrow, got all the supplies for the fire yesterday, got food for the dogs, have food for the humans. Hope everyone stays safe, don't be out in the worst unless you absolutely have to be. I'm either going to have to take unpaid leave for today and tomorrow or take annual leave, either way, I'm just shrugging it off, not the end of the world.

    Dunno. Maybe ME radar is overly sensitive?
