Opinion on snow/ice this year.

Fbjm

Are you looking forward to the snow this year AH? Or are you dreading it?

Personally I used to love it, but last year kind of ruined it for me. I live on a hill, and struggling to school every day trying not to fall was not fun. I'd imagine getting to college this year is going to be a lot worse; I hear maynooth completely freezes over in winter! :pac:

So what say you AH? Will you love or hate the snow this year?

Shelga

I love snow!

Storminateacup

Can't wait. See aul ones slipping and falling. Karmas a bitch isn't it, that's what they get for running their trollies into my ankles

Sheeps

Gonna be driving a rwd car to work in the snow for the first time this year if it snows.

MungBean

I'm prepared this year, snow wont know what hit it when it lands. I got ma wooly hat, fleeces, gloves, thermal underwear. Been choppin wood. Cant wait.

admiralofthefleet

did you get any of those ice grip things with metal studs on that slip over a shoe and give you some grip ? I was thinking of ordering some from amazon etc . Every other year the retail stores charge well over the odds plus have a limited supply

Local-womanizer

Adapt, it's easier than just giving out about it every year.

It never really affected me last year,bar from me having to wear more layers...

El Guapo!

I like the snow for the first couple of days and then it písses me off and I just want it gone again!

recyclebin

What if there is no snow?? Where will i get my white powder fix from??

Princess Peach

Oh I can't wait! Snow is so pretty and I love snowmen and ear muffs and snow balls and taking walks and playing in the snow

I'm walking distance from work so only has positive affects on me, making me happy!

Penneys were selling those ice grip things for €5 the other day.

It is nice to see the place covered with snow but it sure gets old fast.

I was lookin at em but havent decided to get em yet. Probably would be a good buy but the cheaper ones dont look like much.

Where To

There won't be any.

Mark my words.

hondasam

I cannot wait for the snow, icy roads, putting my life in danger every time I go to work.
Hope it starts soon, we might have a few burst pipes as well or no water.

Chuck Stone

Anything to break the monotony of Irish weather I welcome.

Hey, isn't it funny how we look out the window at heavy rain and act all surprised?

Bajingo

Hope it snows, the only difference it makes for me is I have to walk way slower to the DART station so as not to slip..the DART service is generally terrible these days so there won't be much of change there.

White roof tops and crunchy-snow walks more than make up for this.

Dudess

A bit of it, fine, lovely - but the farce that was last year and the year before with hazardous driving conditions and frozen/burst pipes for a prolonged period? No thanks.

aligator_am

I normally don't mind the snow but I've a broken ankle at the moment so I don't much fancy trying to hop around on the ice.

I'm thinking maybe if I can get some huskies and a sled then I'll be OK.

Thanks. I will definitely pop in to Penneys over the weekend and have a look.

Vicxas

Jake Rugby Walrus666

I don't dislike snow like I don't think others do like not supporting anti-antisemitism.

bb1234567

i cant wait for the snow I love it, im a student and it doesnt effect me, all that happens is i miss school and seeing as im in transition year it has no effect on us because we have no state exmas at end of year. so all fun and games for 4th years everyone else in ireland not so much..:D

LH Pathe

My opinion is we were told this unusually warm October would be unusually cold

Moderate warmth or freezing cold? the former pls

df1985

emeraldstar

I'll hate it if it stops me getting home for Christmas. Took a few attempts last year

Pherekydes

I went to Maynooth. The snow never sticks on campus. It's all the hot air.

Regarding the winter, it will start snowing in mid to late November and stay on the ground until mid February. Mean daytime temperatures will be -25.

We're all going to freeze to death. Or worse.

aidoh

How does anyone know that it'll snow this early?
Don't think it will.

I was bored the other night & had a read of the Weather Forum.

The weather nerds are practically **** themselves silly at the thought of another shit winter.

I lit my stove the other day and set off the fire alarms cos the house got too hot. :mad: Mother fecker I want to lit my fire. I want freezing temps, frosty breath and a mother fecking fire NOW. I want to pull the bed clothes back in the morning and think oh shiit thats cold.

Your Momma sucks cocks in hell

Love it! I travel a fair distance to work and am always told not to attempt to come in when it's really bad. I got in trouble actually last year for going in on a particularly bad day. I need a day off and all my holidays went this year on non-holiday related stuff. Snow day would be perfect

Lucky you, understanding as my employer is, telling me to take six weeks of was not an option.

Snow doesn't affect me at all, have a 4x4 for getting around and my house is well insulated, if the water is shut off, its no big problem.
But snow affects my job and my employer lost a fortune last year because of it, so i'm hopping for a nice week of snow around mid january, wont effect business too much and i love playing outside with my dogs in the snow.
