Evelyn cusack must be sick of being on TV. So it's not even here yet ? So why was the 4PM deadline put into place then ? That's what I think people are wondering and pissed off at.

a) because it is difficult to track the exact course and speed of a storm like this.
b) it is sensible to ensure a few hours buffer to make sure that everyone is safely home. What if someone sets out at 3.30pm to get home but gets delayed by terrible roads and doesn't get home til much later?

They’re still in the tech thread. Why on earth would they want to keep posting in here with the constant Me Me Me moaning? They’ve been providing brilliant updates for the whole week, only for some in here to write off everything with “well its not a blizzard outside my house, so therefore its no storm and a red alert is overkill, and why cant the Luas be running already”.

cant wait for this thread to go quiet and then return to the really enjoyable reading when the experts contribute like Kermit etc, it was great at the beginning.

Lovely day here in limerick. Not a drop of snow. If anything, it's been warmer today than the previous two days.

Apocalyptic here in Dundalk. Over the last hour it has got really dark, and seems to be getting worse.

It's called night time.

The sky is apocalyptic in Tallaght with visibility reducing. Trees across the road are being used a reference!

Well the snow that fell yesterday has not melted in cork city. And where it's been compressed it is very slippery. And it's not warm at all on the northside of cork city.

Temps are rising with the warm air being pushed from France, Emma is moving slower than anticipated, there won't be a nationwide snow events, just some light to moderate snowfall that will probably be washed by rain before first light.

cheers stato! ! It's been pissing of snow all day here so for you to come up with that is utter piss

As a government stooge I'm going to propose that the next red alert gets canceled so that nature can give the gene pool a thorough cleansing.

I'm pretty sure she's just starting to kick off here, gone pitch black and the winds are howling with snow (which has not stopped since 6am this morning) thickening.

Time for some refreshments to be put in the freezer.

This is gonna be epic

I don't see anything on the map other than precipitation. Don't see the countries but I presume that it is a map of France.

PS: Did the thread lock for anyone?
