Is it a slow thaw? If it is, that will be good for frozen pipes, me thinks!!!

Is it supposed to snow again during the week again? We are supposed to have a snow blizzard tonight btw

pookie82

It's looking like it's in retreat now but I think that's deceptive. Apparently we're in for the worst fall yet tonight. So sick of sitting around my apartment having nowt to do because of it. Weekends are for going out!!!

No snow here in Cavan.

We had snow on the 20th Dec, and nothing since. Been cold though, but everything is well thawed today.

Typical of ireland though, if we declare everything is ok, it goes to pot. If weather man say, "Jaysus, lads, tis going to be snowy," it'll probably rain!

But there is. Snow down here today so this mirrors the news reports of the last week. Snow is crippling the country they cried yet there was none outside.

Just looked out the window. Its white as anything still. What are you on about ?
And I was out at 4am - it was still snowing in city centre (incidentally some epic snowball fights went on last night:D)

Cerocco

Let it ssnow, Let it snow, Let it snow!!!!! PLEASE. I want nxt week off work. No-one mentioned a thaw today. I was expecting to get out of my bed and not even see my car, instead the snow that was on it when I went to bed was all gone. I can't even begin to describe the disapointment :eek:

Looking ou tmy window and it's all just getting slushy at the moment. I reckon we'll be back to normal tomorrow. Tuesday at the latest.

Was the forecast not for heavy snow Sunday evening/night/Monday morning?

[-0-]

Jesus lads, we get snow for the first time in ****ing years and you lot complain about it?

If we didn't get any you'd be complaining.

Watch now, we'll have a heatwave this summer and you'll all be complaining too.

There are people sick and dying in hospitals, some of you really need a reality check or at least a good kick up the arse.

Think that's what they said originally, but according to 2FM news just there it may be starting to thaw.. ever so slightly.. and on Tuesday it should be a good bit 'better'.

Oh i woulnd't be too worried. I've never yet seen them get it right

You would think in a modern, progressive Ireland, WE should be able to do something to stop this snow.

I mean, I can't even get to my yoga class.

doubleglaze

A really mild "dusting of snow" started in Galway city a few minutes ago. Some thawing had occurred prior to that.

Met E is just saying now that temperatures will be less cold in the coming days.

Keep a sharp eye on ALL folks living on their own - old AND young -and animals.

Didn't mean to be patronizing. I'm a very independent soul myself.

However, I have several friends and acquaintances - young - living on their own with no family in this county, undergoing some hardship due to frozen pipes or no heating. An elderly acquaintance of mine fell hard two days ago. He came close to banging his head off an outside wall. If he'd done so, he'd probably be dead by now from a combination of concussion and hypothermia.

Loads of people are stranded in their houses with little or no companionship for extended periods of time. Times like this can make for a very lonely life for some. I'm encouraging people to text/phone etc. anyone living alone frequently.

However lets put things in perspective. Massive oversize sunglasses must still be worn at all times.

There also also people badly injured in hospital due to nasty falls or road traffic accidents too y'know.

Exactly my point. Those people have a right to complain about this weather. They are in hospital! The moaners in this thread don't.

Well that's stupid.

The snow is crap, it inconveniences everybody. why can't people give out about it?
