Storm Eunice - Friday 18th February - Wind & Snow Potential

I'd say 2 to 3cm of snow in Castlebar judging by a brief look out the window.

Normal enough so far in North Dublin, just some heavy rain starting now.

Amazing, right on cue somebody posts that there is no storm about an hour before the eye reaches land. It is almost as predictable as the ICON adding 10% to wind gusts for no known reason, or a random dig at teachers. BINGO !!!

It is fairly blustery now all through the south but as they say, you ain't seen nothin yet. The gradient on the back side will be considerably stronger.

The primary low is just about into south Kerry now, Valentia winds have decreased as a response. Not sure if their 0600h report will still be reflecting the calmer eye conditions or just into the first of the strong northwesterlies. But 0700h report there will be very strong northwest, I think. Sherkin may not show much of a lull as it will only last a few minutes at a time along the south coast, might come between hourly reports.

very calm in south Carlow now. Was a bit of wind around 1-2 am - just raining now. But it’s still to come I reckon.

Well the orange warning is valid from 3 am to 11 am. My sons bus service will be making a decision around now whether or not to pick him up at 8:30. It’s fine here now so I guess they will come and maybe be out in the heighth of it. Which is ok. I’m sure it will be fine.

Same in Carlow Town, but I think between 7 and 11 is when we'll see the brunt of it

Very calm in South west Donegal. Drizzling rain, no snow. Wondering what the next few hours will bring.

If the strongest winds are always on the south west part of an Atlantic storm then the worse of this storm is really out off the Cork coast. But can see why Cornwall and south Wales will be in direct firing line.

You’re clearly too idiotic to read any posts that say it’s still to hit the south and south east.

Just Wet snow here in Donegal unfortunately, fields and car have some snow on them. Further inland would be heavy I'm sure.

Heavy rain in Galway, small ice particles just about visible in the drops. A long way from snow

It has started raining again .

This reminds me of the time last year where it snowed in certain parts of the west, but it stayed as rain here.
