    34 years ago. I remember my dad calling me out of bed and down stairs and opening the door to show me the surprise. The drift was pretty much the height of the door. People in the vid below trapped on the Naas dual carriageway, trains and Airmotive.

    Hey, I resemble that remark. :mad:

    Although when it snowed in 2010, I remember getting tired of it by around the fourth or fifth day. It stops being enjoyable when you slip six times while walking to the shop. Started to feel a bit like a pensioner - "Oh, he's just had another one of his falls..."

    At least you could get to the shops. I was stranded for weeks. But a kind boardsie came to my aid... God bless boards.ie!

    Aah the BIG SNOW, I remember it well. Would love to see snow like that again, brings out the community spirit in everyone. :)

    Don't want to see the slushy slidy snow thanks very much.

    My dad had to hike to Dunnes in Kilnamanagh where milk and bread was being airlifted in by the aircorps. I remember thinking at the time it must he a nightmare to have to do, but thinking about it now it must have been pretty exciting.

    I supsect: It will rain a lot and then at some point it will snow for an hour, then rain some more afterwards.

    I hope: It snows for days coating the country in a 3 foot blanket of snow that lasts for a week.
