Easy? But they are professionals and paid a LOT of money. A blind baby with no hands would have seen snow was on the way.

Show me any forecast that envisaged the snow tonight.
The band was supposed to die out over Ulster and Connacht, none of this was supposed to reach the south-east coast.
It was never possible to predict the weather with a 100% reliability and it will probably never be.

I love the stuff but by feck it causes chaos. This is the worst chaos I have seen in Central Scotland since I came here 17 years ago. I had to walk 4 miles to collect my kids from school as the school shut early and the wife was stranded on a bus. There are hundreds of people still stuck on the main motorway in Scotland.

On the plus side, it looks like I will not be going to work tomorrow and the kids are off so we will go sledging

BBC forecasts had this fairly spot on.

Finishing up now in Lucan - I think that's it for the night.

I haven't seen or heard any traffic on Tullyesker hill in an hour or two. I would imagine the M1 motorway junction at Monasterboice is quite treacherous too.

The snow has pretty much died here, just the odd flake blowing about in the wind. Luckily there has been little drifting so that will help the driveability of roads tomorrow.

Think you could be right judging by the radar...unless there's some of that under the radar stuff knocking about

ah you cant beat met eireann, snowed heavily here in north east meath all evening, met eireann predicted we wouldnt get to much snow, maybe 5cm 10cm tops, well 5h 30mins and 4 or possiby 5 inches later it has finally stopped. :rolleyes:. next time they predict a little of anything, watch out folks, you can bet it will look like a scene from the day after tomorrow.

I've been watching jealously all night as the front slowly slowly made it's way down across the country. A lot of snow falling in Sandymount now. Big fluffy stuff that is sticking well. All the surfaces that the snow had melted off are now getting a nice covering of snow. About 2-3cm fallen already. At least it will make it a bit easier to walk around out there tomorrow. This has been an epic week of snow.

Bucketing down in Blackrock! Wasn't expecting this!!

Was in Cork at the weekend. Although there was no snow that paths were lethal. Ice without snow is a killer. Snow gives you more grip!

Kilkenny falling heavy the heaviest yet:mad::mad:

jokerjoe17

no snow here in waterford only cold out an icey roads snow better hurry on down

Miss Lockhart

I see Sky News are running the headline "Britain's Big Freeze Bites Back" - did we steal it from them or did they steal it from us?

Rebelbrowser

Anyone understand me when I say snow is only fully enjoyable when you experience it at home? I'm in Dublin tonight watching serious snow but it doesn't seem to count somehow?
