Where's all the snow?

davo2001

I was expecting the apocalypse in Limerick today going on the weather reports, so far, nothing!

Does anyone reckon we will see any of this end of days weather?

Not alot in Wexford either.

While the warning was in affect from 4pm, the snow will be a few hours behind. We should start seeing it in Limerick sometime after 7pm according to the latest reports.

Mr E

My weather app says "possible light snow and breezy" up to 11pm
From then until lunchtime tomorrow, it's "snow and windy".

To be fair.. if people were told be indoors from 7, it'd be cutting it too fine!

Best give everyone a few hours warning. Because no one in this country usually takes a blind bit of notice!

And if we were warned too late... we'd all be up in arms. No pleasing us

Personally i dont mind that there is no snow (yet), I am working from home today and tomorrow but the next time there is a red warning and if i was an employer i might just decide to ignore it based on this warning and the last one for the hurricane.

Basic geography, lads. We're living in the Midwest. The storm is coming in from the South-East. It's going to take a while to cross the country.

I'd hold off judgement till tomorrow morning at least. We could all awaken to a winter wonderland - about two feet of it.

How many people in limerick died?

The three fatalities occurred in Waterford, Tipperary and Louth. That's south, east and mid covered. If you're of a mentality that requires your warning to come with an eircode, there's probably not much point in talking to you.

Lads the storm is still off the south coast, it will hit us and chances are it'll hit us hard. Current models are predicting it'll be making landfall between now and 19:00. All the reports I've seen state very clearly that it'll be bad from this evening on.

The warning was put in for 16:00 because they knew we wouldn't listen and if they had put it later they'd be blamed for not notifying people sooner.

Nearly 9 and still nothing. Assuming everyone is safe and the homeless are in shelters, then I have to admit I’m damn disappointed!

RTE news saying East coast getting worse in the last hour. Red warning for Leinster and Munster extended until 18:00 tomorrow.

I'm in Caherdavin and it's starting to come down fairly steady this past 15 mins. or so. It's sticking too so don't give up hope!

Yep, same in Corbally now !

No need for schools and everyplace to be closed today, pure scam by the government

Sticking to the cars and footpaths here in Dooradoyle. Nothing hectic yet

Goosed if you do, goosed if you don't. Can't win unfortunately.

Steadily falling in Ballinacurra.

The all country red alert last night was out of proportion.
9pm and still no significant snowfall to report?
There was no need to start the shutdown til tonight

Bit of rain here in Dublin and bit of wind. Was expecting more..

We only had a yellow warning on Wednesday morning and there were 5 accidents around Crecora and Manister alone. The main roads around town were grand, but there's more to Limerick than O'Connell Street and the Ennis Road.

Sorry. You’re missing the point.
I don’t dispute those 5 accidents . And I hope everybody is ok.

But what we are discussing here is a nationwide shutdown since almost 24 hours ago. And I really don’t believe the weather has justified it.... not even close

What are you basing that on?

And some of the country didn't shut down until after midday today
