Even after the warnings still had some eejits going out last night in cars (snow tourists) and getting stuck! I am sorry but they should have been left stuck!

The same gob****es who were slating the red level warning or wanted their staff at work no doubt.

They were giving two fingers to the government I'd say.

I refuse to believe those were serious posters. I'm surprised they were humoured for so long.

Billybob and beechswood probably under ten feet of snow, but once they stuck their fingers up during it its all that matters.

Just heard someone from Irish water talking about leaving your attic door open to get heat into the attic space to help avoid the pipes up there freezing. We have fibreglass insulation between the ceiling and the attic but the roof itself is not insulated. Surely all you are doing to venting heat straight out of the roof by doing this. Attic space temp might come up slightly but the rest of the house will get colder or am I missing something?

It's a price that might be worth paying in some cases to prevent pipes freezing / bursting. It got to -17 where I live in the last big freeze and I was lucky I checked the attic, there was 4 inches of ice from the fitting on the water tank to the now no longer connected water main.

With two fingers up though. That's important.

It’s been snowing in portlaoise alright but only little bits. Yesterday there was hardly anything. Maybe a slightly stronger breeze. Wednesdays snow was far worse. Total non event

Total non event? For you personally perhaps.

Maybe news to you but theres more to the world than your Portlaoise haven.

There is no one moving in our area today. Up over the knee in spots.

I think Mother Nature decided Portlaoise was already f*cked enough without the snow.

The natural cloying depression that inhabits Portlaoise was too strong for the storm to penetrate.

Did I say it was a nationwide non event or something? I was simply referring to where I was living. Pretty much nothing happened yesterday. It was worse wednesday

The_Valeyard

The Red Alert was definitely the right call.

It’s been none stop here down the road from Portlaoise.

The Dubs’ knowledge of electricity probably prevented it becoming an ‘event’ down there... “bloody blow ins, coming here buying houses and shopping in our shops”

I live on the verge of town. Had the car cleared at 12 yesterday. There’s barely 1/2” of snow on it now. And it’s in a pretty open space

Grand once an out of control car doesn't hit you :pac:

Careful now, the quality of the road surface is going down hill fast.

I might have gotten a very short power cut last night, as my microwave's clock displayed 0:00 for a short period of time.

Yes an outdoor garage, with no walls or roof.

clairewithani

The giving out of some people on social media about the "let down" of snow. Same people as storm Ophelia almost. Say they wouldn't be happy unless people died.

I was thinking that when out for a walk yesterday on a particular stretch, i turned around and went elsewhere
I'd say any cars out in it had enough to be worrying about

Yup a bunch of people sleeping on the streets refused to go to emergency accomodation so they were sectioned for their own safety last night.

Idiots. Then people will be complaining how the government didn't get homeless people accomodation.

Went in the middle of my movie last night, gone most of the night but back just in time for me to be able to start working from home this morning.

Definitive proof that God is middle management.

I havent seen anyone blaming Leo, sure he doesnt make the weather.

He didn't bring the weather of course.

But he did issue the over-the-top misplaced warning to shut the country down when it wasn't called for.

When a career politician who so carefully budgets for and manages their PR screws up so openly, you can't begrudge people their little bit of schadenfreude can you?

He is a leader for our times perhaps. An EU proxy, consulter, deferrer. But if the chips ever come down in this country a la real catastrophe, it is not the like of him you want at the wheel.
