"Red alert"... it's a Pavlovian trigger phrase.

Mmm. I'd love a slice of pavlovian right now.

I'm intrigued by this theory of yours...

Well since all the clouds are trapping any light from getting out I was thinking maybe it is the reflection of the light from other lights like street lights and house lights that are on. I suppose if there is a full moon as some posters above have said then maybe some of that could be coming through.
It is very strange but I do not mind it.

The UK is hit worse than us and even they havent closed the country down !

Some of those people frozen in their cars for hours on the motorways did not look too happy this evening - complaining that nobody was telling them anything. Here in Ireland, people are safely in their homes. Some UK people sure are hit worse than we are. I imagine they would have preferred to have had a Red Alert!

I honestly can't think of a single thing that has changed outside in the last couple of days....it's truly bizarre!

There is no sun just clouds. It should be pitch black outside the back of the house but instead its like there is street lights on. Anyone else have this outside their house. It's not just tonight either it was like this the last two nights as well.

I have a theory but could be wrong. First I want to know has anyone else noticed it.

Yep. Fantastic pink glow about. Imo Snow reflecting street lights and it's bouncing off clouds.

Nonsense


"Aye, fight and you may die. Run and you'll live -- at least a while. And dying in your beds many years from now, would you be willing to trade all the days from this day to that for one chance, just one chance to come back here and tell our enemies that they may take our lives, but they'll never take our freedom!"


The illuminati government can't force them into their beds they have FREEEEEEDOM.

Who knows it could be aliens. ET is welcome here anytime he wants. Sure I am always sending out light signals when I go for a walk in the dark and there is a clear sky under the faint hope that some aliens out there might notice us and come visit.

I haven't heard of Pavlovian in years....though now you mention it, it does ring a bell....

Beers and Gaming (Total war: Arena, and Hearts of Iron series). I don't allow myself to play games when I should be working, but this snow is a holiday.

Kinda enjoying reading the paranoid witterings of some people on the various snow threads across boards.

You really are talking rubbish.

Here is where I live, taken about half an hour ago.

Plenty of snow on the ground. Photo does not show snow that is falling or wind.

Also not forecast to stop snowing until tomorrow night.

I refuse to believe you have hardly any snow in Greystones.

When your photo no longer features cars, then feel free to use the word "plenty".

For many people this is really turning in to yet another non event.
In 2010 Dublin had temperatures down to minus 15 and over 50cms for Christmas then another similar dose end of Jan.

The Passage West to Cobh ferry in Cork harbour yesterday.



Note that the lads have made a number of snowmen while waiting for the ice to melt.

The burger receipts from Mc Donalds and Burger King in this country would tell you more about the economy than any fancy €9.2 billion report from some asswipe economist.

You know that happened in midwinter, right?

In 2010, cars didn't disappear either, though the snow was deeper. Naturally, because it was a much longer cold spell. This was never forecast to be as long so the comparison is meaningless. If you're expecting it to be like 2010 then, yeah, it's a non-event. But it was never advertised as such.

Keep your phones charged. You never know where the power will be cut next.

Thats not good.

Fingers crossed that it can be restored before morning, The old would be very vulnerable in these conditions.

Yeah you're right, they've been selling this so hard for the last week as the biggest nationwide snow event (mid whatever season) in living memory*, people are convincing themselves 2 cm is deep.

Anyone know how long we can expect these conditions to last? Any end in sight anytime soon?

It seems that Ireland just can't handle some unusually cold conditions and snow. It's ridiculous.

Stay warm and safe people!

The snowfall is highly variable depending on where you are which means that for many people, it seems like a non-event. But where I am, we've had deep accumulations and I'm even way behind what others have reported here. I think over the three nights, I'm probably looking at between 20 and 30 cms, maybe more even! It's been snowing constantly for almost 24 hours.

And actually, in 2010, snowfall was very variable too. I was living in the west at the time and we got much less snow than the east. Quite small amounts actually but because it was cold, that small amount lay on the ground for weeks.

In some parts of the country its far far deeper snow...here in the.north midlands we have snow knee deep...its nothing have seen before in my 30 years..and its only going to get worse if it freezes solid after!

Clickbait

Are we working tomorrow or not?
