    Anyone get some snow?

    None for me at the moment.

    Seen some great photos of snow in Mullingar, Antrim, Donegal.


    Love snow.

    They've changed the forecast in the past hour from us having drifting 8cm snow to no snow at all.

    Day 1 - That morning when you look out your window and the world is covered in snow, everything is pristine and fresh, all the grey and grime covered up. The sounds smothered and absorbed, somehow deadened and peaceful is wonderful

    Day 2 onwards when its frozen over night, is grey slush, also frozen and is slippery and dangerous for cars and pedestrians is a pain in the hole

    After the last snow, was it in 2010? even if I never see it again in this lifetime, it's too soon.

    Here only, according to Met Eireann at the moment is what I said.

    Hopefully you'll get plenty.

    I'm housebound with a bad back, so it can snow its arse off for all I care.

    Play it safe, slip on the tiles of a council house, claim they were not up to standard to prevent slipping in snow after five pints.

    I'd agree with this. It's one of those cases where the idea is far better than the reality.

    Screw snow.

    Whole country grinds to a halt with a light dusting of the stuff.

    Fine for your Facebook pics....but when you have to drive or commute in it the novelty wears off pretty damn quickly.

    There seems to be a vast amount of that at the moment, whatever about the snow.

    I slipped so many times on ice in 2010 that I began to feel like a frail old woman.

    "Oh, I've had one of my falls again..."

    Snow is like Christmas - to travel hopefully is better than to arrive.

    Yeah, after the "hurricane" that we had earlier this year, I pay little to no notice to Met Eireann.

    Hope I can stay awake long enough tonight to hear the huge snowflakes hammering on the thatched roof, while Storm Caroline howls across the bog like a Banshee in heat.
