Oh she be looking lively

Oh please god let the Wicklow Town snow famine be nearing its end. The inlaws are driving me mad with their gloominess. They all bought sledges.

Heavy snow shower in Waterford and wind picking up

force eleven

Been living in this part of North Offaly near Clara for twenty years, no question the most snow we've had. December 2000 was epic, a polar low, but this is a different level. I cannot believe we will have a repeat tomorrow evening. Nature doesn't work like that...

Less than 2 hours of meteorological winter left and every single ME station below freezing from Malin at -1 to Knock at -5.
Now that's what I call winter going out in style!

In like a lion, out like a lamb...

Just looked at the radar. Are those showers dying out on the way over towards South Dublin and North Wicklow

No thats a radar glitch. That said, it should be over us right about now though and I don't hear anything on my attic bedroom roof or Velux yet.

I'm feeling very pessimistic myself at the moment. I've a bad feeling about Emma too.

My street in Turners Cross Cork is now completely unaccessable to cars. Im 28 and living in Cork City all my life and can only remember a proper snow maybe twice in my life, but this blows it completely out of the water, fierce exciting altoghether biy.

I've a decade on you and have never seen anything like it. And all in two hour long bursts from about 6-7 and now in the last hour. The combination of the cold and the intensity of the wind and snow makes it amazing.

I'm in Dublin 12 and hasn't been much going on tonight showers seem to be moving north and south of us. Have been in bed for the last hour cos I'm wrecked, but I keep checking this thread and then getting up to look out the window >.< working from home tomorrow (and have actual work to do and have to be logged in from 9am) but wish I could stay up all night!!

Reports of thunder in Cork, can’t say I’ve heard it myself

now online

It's like a scene from the day after tomorrow here in cork. Loud clap of thunder, followed by lightning. I can barely make out the lampost viability is so bad. I've never seen anything like this.

Consistant but light snow here now (the Lough).

Rochestown, Cork now...

Light snow in Firhouse ATM.

Gaoth Laidir

Just to clarify, in the tech thread I said that we're past the heaviest of the showers. We should see a gradual decline in intensity in the next few hours. This is separate to Emma, which will be a dynamic-snow event, not relying on sea convection.

What will it be like by Friday?

Could be very serious at that stage.

One of the posters in the technical thread mentioned that the heavy snow is finished for the week. Has Storm Emma changed or is the poster mistaken?

He said heavy intensity streamer snow would be finished .......
