It’s my daughter’s 10th birthday today and despite having to cancel her party plans for the weekend she is absolutely thrilled with the snow! She said herself “not many people can say they had a snow day as a birthday!

Snowing all morning, short respite for a couple of hours in the early afternoon but snowing solid for the last hour here.

Just outside Carlow town

Just told my two girls Disneyland Paris is cancelled tomorrow it didn’t go down well😭😭

Well that's just your opinion. In my opinion, based on my own travels yesterday by public transport, and today by car, for Dublin, these alerts are completely unnecessary and costing the country millions. This and the storm Ophelia nonsense is costing small business that they cannot afford. This is winter in Ireland. We are getting the tail end of this weather cycle. Guess what? We live in a small cold country and we get snow sometimes. Put on thermals. Toughen up.

go to bed

Been lurking on here since Storm Ophelia, finally decided to sign up. Thanks to everyone for the updates all week, and last week.👠In North Cork so disappointed with the lack of snow 🙠A couple of random flakes floating around at the moment, hopefully that's not our lot 🙈

Why don't you tell the families of the 3 people who died during Storm Ophelia to toughen up?

Just in out of it,consistently snowing here in North Clare.

-2 here now,and there was a slight thaw around an hour ago but it's gone cold again...

Was out down by lough Inchiquinn, those robins are very intuitive, there he or she was doing a dance in front of me....following me along...

I upturned a few big rocks, he was happy out...

Slugs,worms, beetles and other insects...

Felt bad for the insects, but sure it's nature's way.

Walked down by the river and ironically there was a trout feeding by the bridge, where the lake drains into the river the water is very clear.

The River's very low at the moment....

The craziest thing I've heard all week. Trout visibly feeding on 1st of march with subzero temperatures and snow.

Thanks Hun

Can I just say, that the weather warning is NOT for just SNOW it's a cold temperature warning too.
I'm glad of all the warnings, I know my family are safe all in their homes.
Thanks to everyone on here that knows what they are talking about, I'm stocked up have no need to leave my home, I can sit back and enjoy what's coming.

No it isn't my opinion.
The things you are saying are demonstrably wrong.

The old "yadda yadda small business" bit doesn't make your nonsense assertions about public transport and the process of deciding on weather warnings correct.

No, you should have a look at how you interpret the warnings.

Bit of common sense as well goes a long way, lot of people dont want to take responsibility for their own actions. If someone wants to go out tonight during a blizzard let them but I also say if they get into trouble that's their own problem and not to expect emergency services to go out after them. Its 4 pm here and people are heading out for walks etc

Has the tank in the attic frozen? Open hatch in the attic and run heating to allow it to warm slightly. Not sure it will help all that much at this point... worth investigating further.

Your opinion doesnt matter.

The decisions were made way above the self serving interests of ISME who couldnt give a shite about the welfare of their employees.

This is an unprecedented weather event in March and you must heed it. There is no public transport.

It is not winter. It is meant to be Spring.

Its attitudes like yours, that gets people killed. Get over yourself.
