They are sensitive over on that weather forum aren't they. Pointed out it's embarrassing that people are panic buying bread, milk and other food stuffs for a couple of days of snow and got a red card.

I got the road out of it there for saying we'll soon be as bad as the yanks with doomsday preppers in woodies

****ing eir just blocked my streaming site there's no monster energy left in tesco, if this snow doesn't happen I will riot.

I just hope there are enough carrots to go around. Imagine being carrotless just as snowman season starts!

I was just outside my apartment block trying to talk a jumper down off the roof, in the freezing cold, and some phucker has just locked me out of the building.

There's not even a lock on the door! :P It's an interior courtyard door, the only reason it's ever held open is when you need to carry something in or out with both hands

-5 in Glasgow in a minute, sure it's grand. Shag all news reports here and done some shopping earlier and the place was fully stocked with a few people knocking about! Sounds like an Apocalypse is about to happen back in the homeland :pac:

Just saw a poodle legging it down the road. Half way to where it was going (I presumed it was some hot 'n steamy poodle action with the local bitch), its legs shattered to pieces, terminator 2 style.

'tis cold.

Why are people discussing the cold in countries who get it EVERY year. They are capable of managing it. This is a serious anomaly for Ireland and people are rightfully worried about how it will be managed.

Nobody cares how cold it is in Estonia or what you did in Canada.

This is the current temperature outside my apartment. Its been like this all month and will continue (even getting colder) for a few weeks. It's like this every year.

A bit of snow wont kill you.

Yes. But do you have a bunker underground complete with Brennan's bread padded insulation?

Ah now in fairness we rarely get it. You just cannot say 'Oh the poles or the Russians don't blink an eye'. Of course they wouldn't

But at least some of that* is due to the perception those of us out foreign in actually cold regions are getting from online Ireland the last few days. I think it was you who mentioned earlier that it's better than the 'ah shure be grand' attitude, and I guess it is but why can't Ireland just have the measured reasonable balance between the two, it was the same for Ophelia a few months ago. If there is a bit of warm weather in the summer are people going to be planning for droughts and desertification?

And from the machinery and council planning perspective, someone just needs to crunch the numbers, risk = damage X probability.

*Of course there will always be some people trolling with it

My local supermarket was stripped of bread and milk today, the place was packed and not a car parking space in sight!

I can understand the likes of elderly people stocking up on supplies though, they can't be too careful and if they're isolated for days on end it's better safe than sorry.

Im embarrassed for anyone who panic bought and it makes me think the country is on average much stupider than I had thought

When you think about it, half the country are more stupid than the average! (Median to be exact but I don't want to further confuse half the country).
