    Alright if you want snow this Christmas I'll have to go away and order it, there should be no problem over getting it as our neighbouring countries might even pay us a few picocents per flake to take theirs and there should be plenty to go around as snowing capacity has been increased in recent years by the weather crowd.

    Anyone who wants snow this year has something wrong with their brain.

    After power cuts in our area last christmas day. Snow can f*ck off this year

    You should see the Weather forum.They're having a collective nervous breakdown because the snow hasn't arrived yet.

    I don't care as long as me water doesn't freeze.

    We won't get heavy snow this winter. You heard it here first, folks!

    Snow can melt for all i care!
    There I said it.

    Snow way that poll is specific enough.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 13,016 ✭✭✭✭vibe666


    yay for snowpocolypse! \o/

    aside from anything, all the new insulation in the house and the heat lamp in the attic above the water tank connected to a froststat will be going to waste if we don't get snowed in. :)

    having said that, we've ended up unexpectedly actually moving house next week so all that winter prep is going to benefit someone else instead anyway. :(


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 4,678 ✭✭✭I Heart Internet


    The snow and ice fycked up my life last year (and to a lesser extent, the year before) so I want a nice mild winter this year.


  • Banned (with Prison Access) Posts: 34,567 ✭✭✭✭Biggins


    Its snow joke if we get a heavy fall of the stuff!
    It makes a right balls of driving and slouches into the costs of getting kids to school and shopping!
    Its enough to raise people's temperature - not lower it!


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,027 ✭✭✭St.Spodo


    You put a lot of effort into that poll!

    Don't fancy any snow this year. It outstayed its welcome last year.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 12,639 ✭✭✭✭OldGoat


    Yay snow! Bring it on.
    Suits me more than that stupid hot sun of the summer that everyone else usually clammers for.
    Ever tried throwing a sunball at someone? No, you can't and that is why snow is better.

    I'm older than Minecraft goats.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 24,231 ✭✭✭✭ejmaztec


    Feckin snow can flake off somewhere else:mad:


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 9,273 ✭✭✭Morlar


    If you have a big log fire in a well insulated home then snow is da biz. If you get home into a freezing cold badly insulated impossible-to-heat freezehole having fell over on the way home then it's not as fantastic.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 287 ✭✭JohnnyTodd


    I hope we get tonnes of it. I ll be abroad :)

    ditto. :)

    when you're well prepared for a snow in it's great. i'm all for alaskan style winters and a mini-ice age personally. once people get used to the idea and prepare properly for it, it's great fun. :)

    Good man eth0!

    Lots of snow, happy kids and stunning photographs.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 20,862 ✭✭✭✭inforfun


    Option 1 but with this little change:

    No snow because other people can not deal with it.

    Mostly thinking of traffic, public transport etc.

    hope its snows like a muthafúcker this year, ill be well prepared for a nice 2 week snow holiday this time if it does come :cool:


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 159 ✭✭EarlyStorms


    I can’t see this year being a severe winter, I have to say ill miss the snow. Last year it made getting into work an adventure and I was getting off early to start my Trek home. I also bought a huge parka last month that I've had no use for so far so yeah bring it on I say.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 904 ✭✭✭MetalDog


    None over the Xmas, it'll make Xmas even more of a pain in the arse than it already is.

    Id love to get a load of snow this year, but so far its been so mild does anyone here know what the weather guys are predicting for December?


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 37,214 ✭✭✭✭Dudess


    A light dusting of snow over Christmas would be lovely.

    But I'm not a weirdo who wants enough snow to cause hazardous driving conditions, frozen pipes, burst pipes, being snowed in, power cuts, etc.

    People who are dying for really heavy snow like last year and the year before obviously didn't experience any of the above.
