    Well I am holding on to the fact that I got inland snow on Friday while the likes of dunkineely 10 miles away got the coastal rain. I am inland if it attacks from the north I think. :) my hands are sore with all this clutching.

    Because I am running out of petrol and had to abandon my car because I could not get out of the estate.

    Because the oil trucks cant get to the houses and the cold snap will continue and eventually I will run out of oil and myself and my three year old will freeze to death.

    Don't be so dramatic, anyway looks like a thaw should happen on Friday and during the weekend to some degree.

    The oil men will get to your estate and if they can't you can use electrical heaters etc.

    Sorry you are being inconvenienced and i wish you the best of luck.

    What a drama queen, jeeze grow a pair!

    It is a pain in the hole at this stage but damn it you need to man the heck up, or find a man if you are a girl!

    This event will probably be rain in Dublin CC and snow maybe out by Lucan/Tallafornia/Blanch and inland Wicklow as usual.
    I for one would welcome the rain, , I spent about an hour cleaning the frozen crap off my car this afternoon so i can get to work tomorrow morning. It is beautiful though and its not the end of the world .

    So people have another week of this crap?

    How will people buy electrical heaters if they cant get to a shop to buy them?

    look you knew the winter was coming and you over looked the fact that you need oil for to keep your house warm over winter what weather were you expecting for the winter so no one else is to blame for that but yourself and i dont think you should worry if your car has pertrol in it or not because if the oil lorry cant get to you to deliver oil to your house you should not be driving on the roads if they are that bad so you dont need to use the car

    i dont understand why people cant be prepared for any weather winter brings

    Because I was not prepared for MONTH Of this or for such an inept county council that doesnt grit roads. I am well used to harsher winters than this coming from the NE US but the incompetence of this country to take care of the roads and the safety of their citizens is really monumentally awful.

    Event the taxis arent running. Last year the ambulences werent running.

    Im fine for oil but eventually people wont be.

    No one cant get here. I would not ask anyone to risk their lives on the ice rink. The neighbors even put up a road block because two cars got into accidents this morning.

    Turn off the engine!:p

    On a more serious note,

    This weather is fantastic to a point,

    but i'm now out of work as all the snow has my job buried (grass).

    So with more snow possible i will have to find a way of making money from snow:confused::confused::confused:

    I'm finding the weather a pain in the hole at this stage but really enjoy extreme weather so I put up with it and found the threads great sources of info,my estate is still under snow and ice but have had oil lorries doing deliveries no problem so unless you live on a mountain in Wicklow you're gona be fine.The trick is to fill your oil tank early just in case-Winter comes every year.I also have an issue with people leaving taps running to stop pipes from freezing-did they not learn from the last big freeze? Lagging isn't expensive and they had all year to do it.It's not as if cold weather never happens.

    I think the chances of significant snow tomorrow are pretty low. There could be appreciable amounts inland which may help road conditions there somewhat providing some grip for Tuesday morning for a while. However what concerns me is the prospect for even a little bit of rain on the East coast. This, of course, would be freezing rain which could make the commute extremely treacherous for both motorists and pedestrians.

    As for tonight another iceing over is coming - be very careful outdoors - whether walking or driving.

    People, this rain event tomorrow will fall on well frozen ground.

    It will be feckin lethal. Much of the country , Ulster excepted, will be a bloody skating rink by tomorrow afternoon :( Certainly the midlands and north Leinster, it willl be raining/snowing across the M4 corridor in the evening rush hour.

    Hirlam shows it coming in around midday/afternoon our time.

    And the hospitals are full already.

    preparation is the key my estate is also frozen up i was not in work all last week but i am prepared for the winter i bought a bag of coal every week during the summer i currently have 15 bags i bought timber and spend one Saturday every month sawing and chopping it up i have a big shed full of sticks i have all my christmas shopping done so the kids will be happy come christmas day
    people have to be prepared for what the winter can throw at them
