Looking like we might get a few more flurries there in the city in Cork? Or are we now awaiting for storm emma to bury us?

Going by the forecast buried

No way. The depths are nowhere near as deep as what Dublin and other areas got in December 2010. People have short memories!

I have to agree.

Beautiful blue sky in West Cork. Very little snow melting.

Just took the dog for a walk and man that wind chill is incredible.

Was up Carrantuohill last winter for a sunrise and there was a wind chill of -16 not much of a difference there today.

Not strictly related to this thread but Cork City and County Councils have issued risk of flooding warnings for the next few days.This may be as big an issue for affected areas as any blizzard conditions.

Santry in my opinion is a very dull looking place but just went for a walk there and my god, the place has never looked so beautiful. You'd wanna think we're in Norway with this constant snow falling.




I FÚCKING LOVE IT

Completely agree, students in limerick could easily attend school today. Like I said before, sun shining.

I'm in UL atm. Getting necessary lab work done.

Jesus. Watching people get upset by getting snow or not getting snow is ridiculous. SAD

I know, right? Jaysus lads, it’s nothing to get pissed off about!

There will be no Cork Examiner or Evening Echo printed tomorrow - the first time since the burning of Cork!

So that's confirmed it. Man can live without bread but the Examiner!?!? Now it really is the end of the world...

Dublin is a different scenario. I’m just speaking about limerick, probably a rush to the head with regards to the closure of schools etc in limerick.

I can't understand people saying schools in Limerick should be open "cos the sun is out now". School traffic peaks from 3-5pm, the red warning is active from 4pm. Going by your logic, you'd happily see students and the parents who have to collect them on the roads after 4pm? Common sense lads, it wouldn't go astray for some here.

Living in mid cork, the snow has missed us the last few days only have a light dusting, hard to believe we're going to be buried once Emma hits....the wind is very intense at the moment & a few flurries.

Hasn't stopped snowing here in celbridge since I was up at 7. Sometimes heavy, sometimes light and sometimes very blizzard like conditions.

Wicklow has no snow that’s nuts. Wicklow gets it when no one does no?

Better to play it safe. is it not better to discommode a few who might not be affected rather than endanger everyone who might ?

Its a forecast. They're not predicts of the future. They might get it wrong.

Very calm here in Rochestown, Cork. Not snowed for a while now, maybe an inch or so overnight based on my measurements.

snow stopped here in Dunnshaughlin now and sun making an appearance.

I tried to measure the snow depth but it's different all over the place. Generally i'ts between 3 and 5 inches.

Wicklow gets it when other have rain because it's higher and colder.

There has to be something falling out of the sky :pac:

It sounds like you need a new boss tbh. What an asshole. It's not like you can control the weather or the national response to it.

I guess to a certain extent you can't always compare one snow event to another. 2010 saw 28 days of lying snow where I was. That was certainly unprecedented.

If we were to see 3/4/5 foot drifts tonight, then that's also a "once in a lifetime" level, even if the snow melts 48 hours later.

The levels here in D16 are not the same as 2010...yet. The ridiculous snow was never supposed to arrive until tonight, though the red warning calling for an extra 10-15cm of snow overnight never materialised here. We've had 4-5cm since 6pm yesterday, most of that in the last 3 hours. Seems like many other areas got it though.

Currently standing at 12cm total accumulation. We lost 2-3cm over yesterday afternoon.

I’ve experienced drifts a few times before in Ireland around where I grew up. It’s not a once-in-a-lifetime thing really. You just need wind to accompany the snow.

This is nothing like 2010 which nearly lasted a month, this has been going 2 days......

Met eireann saying the red could be downgraded in northern areas and will be monitored.
