    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?

    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

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

    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


  • Registered Users Posts: 3,798 ✭✭✭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...


  • Registered Users Posts: 12,427 ✭✭✭✭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!


  • Registered Users Posts: 3,499 ✭✭✭recyclebin


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


  • Registered Users Posts: 11,698 ✭✭✭✭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 :D

    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.

    There won't be any.

    Mark my words.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 34,419 ✭✭✭✭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.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 13,030 ✭✭✭✭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?


  • Registered Users Posts: 889 ✭✭✭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.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 37,215 ✭✭✭✭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.


  • Registered Users Posts: 1,598 ✭✭✭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.

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


  • Registered Users Posts: 5,491 ✭✭✭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


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 2,515 ✭✭✭LH Pathe


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

    Moderate warmth or freezing cold? the former pls
