Out getting supplies for snowmageddon at the moment - people (not me) are starting to panic buy here, lidl shelves were getting stripped of water, milk, ping pong balls, crochet sets and digital micrometers.

Is this the end, my friend?

Snowmageddon sounds like a sci-fi channel movie but seriously this is no joke. I may need to take Friday off if the big one hits.

Humans are morons.

I'd get banned from the Weather Forum if I said this, but I think it'll be a damp squid. They put snow on such a pedal stool over there.

Not one of the hot TG 4 one's.


But in all seriousness since when have the sudden need for weather warnings

Doctors room ghost

Ping pong balls?? Who would have thought a touch of snow would boost ping pong sales.

Same here. Not a slice of bread, carton of milk, or a bag of spuds left in our local supermarket.
wtf

On thursday I usually clock up 220 km in the performance of my duties.
If I can't drive I can't work and I don't get paid.
I might even lose customers over this snow.
I don't like snow.
It costs me money.
It costs me work.
I can lose customers if they do not understand the risks of being at the place of work entail.
Loss of car.
Loss of ability to work if disabled.
Possible loss of life.

No, I don't like snow.
I hate it.

I don't think any of them are trained or meteorologists

Clickbait

So long that we get a day off like storm Ophelia. All the fuss for nothing otherwise.

Don't dare go against the consensus on the weather forum. Crazy the level of echo chamber groupthink going on there.

What kind of gob**** buys a snow shovel in Ireland for a probably max 2 day event.

The Backwards Man

The Inuit have fifty words for snow.

I have fifty words for the yahoos that like it.

We just don't cope well with these events in Ireland. Either we under react and it's all "pfft, tis but a breeze" or else everyone goes into full Armageddon mode, such as we are seeing this week. Why can't there be a nice middle ground where everyone is prepared, but not hysterical.

Heard Joe say today that they will be with us all through it, just like they were for Ophelia. Sound like something from Armageddon movie FFS

Reminds me of when I was younger, hoping for snow, watching the weather forecast with my parents and then furiously arguing with them when they buzz-killingly said there probably wouldn't be enough snow for the schools to close. And then I'd be bawling the next morning when the snow had cruelly chosen not to arrive.

I was twenty-eight years old.

Get yourself winter tyres if so dependent on the car.

Has the weather forum ever been wrong?
I’m new enough here and last week was the first time I even seen there was such a thing.

I'm defiantly not.

Tesco opens at 7am. Think I will queue from 4am. Hope they won't have customer quotas on the bread and milk.

I'm just back from Tesco. Was panic-buying chocolate and cakes. Nothing to do with the snow - I do this every night.
