Sent him up there doesnt look frozen is all he said! Great help he is.

If I turned on the hot water switch would it help at all if it is frozen? Or is that a bad idea?

And even when they do appear to pass over the area, according to radar, most of the time there is little precipitation

When is it socially acceptable to start drinking. Right after the start of the red alert or should one wait until some snow starts to fall at least?

Both are applicable for me right now but I need to make my supplies last. So I'll wait until Emma herself arrives.

Nothing like a weather event to expose the rampant cretin like intellect that runs deep in this country.

Nobody cares about your precious little brats and whether or not they could go to school and nobody cares about your small business either.

Lives could potentially be lost in what is an unprecedented and unpredictable situation.

It is one or two days so get a grip and think of the wider community and the emergency services instead of your own self-centred little universe.

Someone put me out of my misery, it's been a long month watching and waiting for beast to arrive and this thread is torture for someone who hasn't got a snowflake yet

Just a bit white at Grange today :cool:.







Me before I was about to go into a snowball fight with some lads.

TV3 keep on talking about the 4pm curfew.

It's not 'The Purge'.....

-1c in Limerick. Cloudy.

Did Leo not say the army would shoot anyone caught outdoors during the storm

Still snowing in South Kilkenny but no sign of Emma.

Where is the best place to leave some food for the birds, they are digging all the snow looking for things to eat. We don’t have a bird feeder

Issue is some media are calling it a curfew and probably why some are taking the micky out of it by saying Leo and his lot will come after you if you are not indoors by 4pm

Who are calling it a curfew?

This is the most unpredictable weather event I think we’ve had! Siobhan Ryan saying record breaking snow, others saying that the south may have rain tomorrow morning...

total whiteout now in Dunshaughlin.

snow being whipped up 20+ feet into the air.

large flakes, almost horizontal snow.

Mini drifts this morning in Galway.



It has been topping up all day with some lovely drifts around the local fields.

I've been throwing it out and they're picking it up no bother but I've also put out a large lunch box lid with seed and oats on it so they even been landing on that too.

ZeroSum76

Close to Wicklow Head it's started to fall as snow - good sign for the deprived east coastal towns. Worry was sleet. Mad looking at a wall of it coming in from the Irish Sea!

Lol, this made me laugh for real, don't hold back now.

thelad95

Some people seriously need to cop on, self serving eejits who’d have their staff try and trudge into and home too work in a once in a lifetime blizzard all for a days business possibly being lost.

Meanwhile I’m in maynooth and I wouldn’t be surprised if we have gotten the worst of it, the canal is frozen, snow up to shins in most places and the town on complete lockdown except for one pub!

leahyl

Any reports from Wexford of the arrival of Emma?

Iceman1984

Very cold but calm here in south Tipperary, small gusts of wind so far.
