Any car that got stuck was fair game it seems.

Garda we know was saying that to us. He was a bit puzzled by it because they are not stealing from the cars or burning them out, round here. They are just smashing windows, indicators, wing mirrors etc.

Is there any advantage of going out and clearing the drive way of snow or will i just wait till it melts? The car is not going anywhere any time soon with the estate roads still covered

I'd leave it til tomorrow. There is no serious snow forecast, so it'll continue to melt. A good amount of that will have melted by then, saving you half the work.

Someone cleared the roads near me.
Great you'd think but they pushed the snow in a way that left big banks of snow outside everyone's gate.

If someone is going out shovelling, just dig a channel towards the nearest drain. That way when it melts it won't pool and get sloppy.

Our estate road is fully cleared now. Not sure who did it but it wasn't with shovels.

One of the neighbours had spent the morning shoveling in front of his house too

Seen JCBs going around clearing estates

Guys. I want to post a photo here.
Can someone tell me how to post an attachment from the mobile site?
There's no paperclip attachment symbol.

Coupled with the fact that at least one of their mega stores was on lock down following the Jobstown Riot and supermarket attack last night. Security had the doors locked and were only permitting access on request and No cash - card only transactions.

Sounds like a tall tail. Where?

I went up to Tesco airside there for when it opened at 11am, it was mental, you'd think it was the end of days the way some of them were carrying on! It'll be back to normal by Monday or Tuesday and there was some woman with 6 loaves of bread.

Same in Clarehall.. one lad nearly knocked people over trying to grab foot long bread rolls that had just come out of the oven. He took about 12 of them.

I enjoyed the banter with my family and neighbors. I got some nice photos and video clips during the week. Something to look back on in years to come.

Loved the community spirit .. everyone on our estate helping each other out and having the craic in the snow

I never used it before.

I took this photo today of a track in my country garden.
Any idea of what it's from?

Went to Tesco in ballyfermot at about 1105...it was rammed...like mad Xmas levels zero bread and milk being grabbed off the trolleys....mad queues. By time we were leaving about 1130..insane crowds I'd say at least 100 people in queue to get in and they weren't letting any more in.

My local Centra had a limit of one pan per customer. Or, I guess, per group if you were in there with your family. Great idea and it meant I was able to get a loaf of bread at 5pm.

I set up a thread a couple of hours ago about the beast from the east and it has been removed. I don't know why.

They look like fat lines of drugs covered in snow. Have you sniffed them yet?

I advise sniffing them.

Looks like a snake to me.
You might have one of those very rare snow snakes in your garden. Bit like bats, you can't disturb them. So you'll have to barricade off your garden and never ever set foot in it again. I'd also wall over the windows, just to be on the safe side.

I live about as far from Tallaght as possible.

We see all sorts of wildlife here but this has me baffled.

I know he has a very sombre job and its been a tough week but...Eoghan Murphy is a very serious chap for his age. Dont think i ever saw him smile. For a young guy he is extremely intense.

Walked own to the offy last night and it was nice to be saying hello to people as they passed and exchanging small talk with strangers.

Thanks Francie.
That makes sense. We have a pheasant friend in warmer times but obviously she's still around.
I was thinking of footprints not tail prints!

Good. I want a guy who is intense and invested in his job not some cute hoor from Kilgarven ranting and raving about fairies or talking the talk like Bertie. Eoghan Murphy has come across quite professional over the last few days.

I did my first good snow deed today, it was my first time out of the house since Tuesday though so. Spotted new neighbours car laying awray (I know that's not a word) across the road with a bit of a dent in the front passenger side and wondered if there had been some difficulty getting out earlier. I had managed to trek into town to pick up some stuff and had extra so gave a knock to see if everyone was ok and if they needed anything. They're all fine tg, but they have no wiffy yet so gave them my password so they can keep in contact with relatives.

Otherwise today was nice, my first trek out and the snow as I was leaving was still one to two foot in places with drifts up to a meter in others but I made it in and out safely and had a lovely cup of coffee along the way. It was a grand day.
