Exactly, this is to lull you into a false sense of security.

Worst snow ever like.

I'm really really looking forward to snow, gang. I'm actually morto for myself. I'll be devastated if I can't build a snowman or ride a sled after all this teasing.

Christ. Did anyone else just see the brief headlines intro about the beast from the East on Tv3 news @530 ?
Four horsemen arriving stuff.

The slavs must be laughing at us.

Calm down, or you might accidentally build a sled and ride a snowman.

I'll watch John Carpenters The Thing numerous times over the coming days. Perfect movie for being stuck inside during a snowmageddon. And if i do go out, i'm wearing a sombrero. All i'd need is a flame thrower for any little feckers throwing snowballs

Former neighbours swears blind to me that she saw a guy in her local Lidl yesterday with a trolley full of bread. Like, I understand someone buying two loaves if they expect to be doing fry-ups for the rest of the week, maybe 3 if you've a big family. But what could possibly be going through someone's head with 20 or 30 pans?

People are now selling bread on Done Deal...

He could be doing it every Monday morning buying for a canteen or something and this is the first time she noticed it.

My local SuperValu had three loaves left at 5pm so I only took one. My wife gave out to me when I got home for not taking more.

Canteen would get a delivery. Not send someone down to dunnes twice a week for trolley fulls of brennans.

Could be someone making sandwiches for the homeless . The man who owns the soft play centre in Whitestown in Tallaght took in homeless during Ophelia and fed them and kept them warm . Just an example of how people help those in need

Hmmmm.....

Looks like a stock photo. I'd say you'd pay for the loaf, seller would promise it was in the post, and you'd hear nothing else from him till a suspiciously fresh pan arrived shortly after snowmageddon had ended.

Scam. Deffo.

The hype continues.

Rte news tonight had this line when the report was saying about homeless Street sleepers

"temperature tonight expected to drop below freezing"

Since the start of January I'd say there has been about 20 nights when temperature was below freezing. Why weren't all those nights hyped up?

Because it's going to snow through the night?

Added wind chill from east wind . Makes it feel so much colder and very difficult to keep warm when out in it

Not all. I know a sandwich place that buys their bread from dunnes.

I drove home from work through thick snow at 20mph about 2 weeks ago.

No mention on the news that night.

Snow showers in the west and North West earlier today. But no, not a mention, or official till it happens in Dublin.

Has Teresa Mannion addressed the nation with life saving advice yet?

NIMAN

And he's another quote from the news

"a lot of older people live in houses with bad insulation"

Why do they?

There has been loads of schemes for years now to upgrade pensioners and people on welfares homes with energy efficient measures, new insulation etc.

Every pensioner should have applied and got it done. There's no excuses for not taking free upgrades to your home.

Heard her on the car radio giving advice from the RSA !

I never heard the word graubel until today on boards ! I had to google it

And don't get me started on panic buying of bread.

Yeah seems like selfish waste

Maybe he is suffering from psychological problems.

Unless the wall cavities have already had the crappy insulation filler from the 80's and can't take the modern insulation.

Sorry but unless you know the numbers you are not qualified to say that. Maybe it's not clear what I'm saying, I mean if we look into it and see that the snow costs the economy X million every 10 years then it can be argued at least if its justified to spend X million every 10 years to mitigate it, but unless you do the study you don't know

You know what? I’m quite comfortable making those statements. It’s common sense. It’s not a pressing issue because cash is limited and so many things are more pressing and much more likely to both affect the economy and people’s lives if they are underfunded or if money is diverted away from there. You don’t need a peer-reviewed study to know this but I’d be willing to bet that there has been research published somewhere in the world on the subject.

Yes because that’s their motivation - not disappointing Diddums.

Unless you live in the middle of nowhere, anybody out buying 'supplies' needs to be euthanized to preserve national intelligence levels

We are senior citizens , neither of us want to risk slipping or falling . So we got a few extra litres of milk and extra bread yesterday . It was to keep us safe and warm and not having to go out in the bitter cold . I am not really bothered by your disdain to be honest
