Met Éireann forecast on RTE 1 now reaffirming Red Status warning for the entire country.

It has been snowing constantly here in Kinsale for the last 90 minutes so I have just done another measurement outside and this time got 21cm. I don’t know how scientific this is but I’ve been measuring the same spot on a level part of my driveway since yesterday morning. This morning at 8am it was 18cm so we have had an accumulation since then. Top of car currently only gives me 16cm but more seems to be blowing off the car.

Why on earth do they have to remove the warnings prior to updating them? Very misleading.

Surely it's just a file copy or database update.

There seems to be a bit of a thaw going on in Waterford even though its still -1.5 and the snow is still falling.. what is this madness?

Artane2002

Still lots to come according to the radar. I'm guessing it's because Emma is sending moisture up this way causing more persistent showers.

just seen on the news, that its being extended too 3pm tomorrow

venusdoom

So the Red's back for Donegal.. We still have no snow in the South of the county, not one flake. People are very confused. Shops like Aldi have closed at 1. Not as windy as it was earlier. Maybe we'll see action this eve.

*Spoke too soon, wind picking up again and I'm sure I seen a flake or 2! Finger's crossed now

I'd say it's something to do with the website cache layer. There a few minutes ago some people could see the updated warnings, while other saw none.

It hasn't stopped in Dublin 15 all morning, its a whiteout out there at the moment. Cant be far off the foot of snow at this stage

Absolutely rediculous here in north Kildare, blizzard like, drifting up the sliding doors... i renounce my atheism

Is the power gone in Kinsale?

Jesus lads will ye tell that to get moving to Limerick? Sick of waiting now!

SleetAndSnow

hoping for some more heavy showers in cork city before emma comes, not looking likely though!

Thargor

Absolutely lethal up on Bray head, havent felt wind like that since Ophelia, literally couldnt walk into it at some points. Its starting to snow in Bray now, Aldi was closed so I went to Tesco, had 10 minutes to grab some supplies as they were kicking people out aswell.

They'd want to sort it out. Maybe they can't find any classic ASP developers LOL!

Why have Met Eireann only the warning until 12 midday do you think? How often is hirlam updated by the way?

ZX7R

Siobhán on the forecast, adamant and it will be a blizzard and not blizzard like, I am starting to get the impression there is a of internal bickering in met eireann due to this storm

nacho libre

Siobhan said :"Blizzard conditions, not blizzard like"

I have never heard a Met Eireann forecaster say that before. Cherish this event peeps. I remember the fall of March 2018..... froze were the days!

Looking further ahead, some models are suggesting a reload of cold next week. Great news, if it verifies.

roosterman71

Still snowing here in Westmeath, but thawing too. Biggest problem I currently have is young lads pegging snowballs at the window as they run past

How long was it removed for before being updated?

The countrywide red warning is gone then?

CirrusBusiness

Looking at Hirlam for tonight (especially after midnight) it's looking like the south east corner is going to get buried!!

Should have bought more bread.
