I've quite likely lost a cat to this storm, sadly. The guilt is like a billiard ball in my chest/under my skin.

I was looking after someone's cat and I warned them that he was a nervous wreck due to local, uneutered cats.. He wasn't making himself available for food/to be fed.. and to maybe put him up in care, no.. said they'd chance it. I haven't seen him in 48 hours.

He weathered the last two flurries okay, over the years, by making himself available to various neighbours, but.. it is brutal now, the road and gardens are spotless, no details to mark them out. Drifts everywhere. Well above the height of a cat.

Our regular fox, like clockwork, is doing his rounds of the gardens, same time, same tracks, the only disturbance in the snow.

Last 20 threads on this are just chat and there's a million posts to read through....the snow is falling worse now and I'm loving it but they say was to stop and there was no talk of it snowing like it is now.......do you think this will stop tomorrow or is there other things that can happen to make thos prolong like it is now?

Kind of doesn't sound like it your fault, though.

It was good yeh but one metre of snow was meant to fall in south dublin which didn't even come close to happening anywhere in dublin county

They said it might. Even a third of that amount is a huge fall of snow by Irish standards and we got a bit more than that.

Where I am, the Tuesday and Wednesday night snow amounted to around 20-30cm. Last night piled more on top of that. So we had copious amounts before today in Dublin 15.

I bet a neighbour has him. We had our neighbour's cat for a few hours yesterday and my daughter's friend had a dog for 24 hours.

The snow is confusing them, but they'll be back I'm sure.

Still bucketing down in raheny, what a snow event. So much snow since early afternoon. Went for a stroll and never thought I would see the day there would be about 20-25cm right next to the coast. Amazing to see

There are two dedicated threads on the Lidl incident.

Snowing here still in north Dublin but not very intense.

In the Llŷn shadow now (first time that term has been used) with only very light snow now. Can see it stretching from the Llŷn Peninsula in Wales to South Dublin if radar is accurate.

It's stopped in Ballyogan Dub. 18 for the first time since yesterday. Went for a stroll around the block and seen drifts of about 100cm in places 30-60cm most other places. Eerily quiet too.

I was all aboard the hype train from the very start but even still I wasn’t prepared for today.
Ashbourne was absolutely insane today. It’s been snowing sonstantly for a couple of days but the accumulation today is in believable.

I genuinely thought the peak would have been Thursday PM in to Friday AM and then gone quiet but today is far more intense in very aspect than any other day.
