Out getting supplies for snowmageddon at the moment - people (not me) are starting to panic buy here, lidl shelves were getting stripped of water, milk, ping pong balls, crochet sets and digital micrometers.

Is this the end, my friend?

Can't wait for the destructive snow and blizzards.

Is 3cm of snow life threatening? Only I have no will made since the last met warning.

I was going to make a will, but I thought life's too short.

You can recreate the Millennium Falcon 'jump to light speed' Star Wars effect by driving at full speed through the snow at night with your headlights at full beam.

I can confirm that GardaTraffic have escorted a Brennans Bread van into Ballyfermot

Back in the 70's we had plenty snow and everyone survived. Many people had no fridges, freezers etc, cars were back wheel drive so crap to drive in snow. No warnings and everyone coped. snow was up to a foot deep and drifts up to 4 feet. Are people nowadays gone soft?

Why rough it when you could be sitting at home in comfort and safety ? People simply had no choice, we do, it would be silly to choose to do nothing to ensure your family's comfort and safety because that's how it was done in the past.

You can also recreate "death by horrible car accident" this way too.

Remind me, how many cars were on the roads in the 70s?...

And how many motorways did we have??

Judging by boards there are quite a number of our country cousins with dublin issues.

Maybe you dont realise how fond we are of you. In time of trouble we send money and encouragement and theresa mannion to you. Ok we dont send money. But we do care.

Live report from Zaytoon: snow coming thick and fast outside, just waiting for my kebab.

I’d like to see the statistics on how many houses didn’t have fridges or freezers in the 70s. Pretty low I’d imagine.

Anyway this few days of weather will be much bigger, if it pans out, than any 70’s snow.

Yer Da sells Avon

I've got twelve inches here.

Only around a centimetre of snow though.

How Soon Is Now

Maybe I should of bought more bread after all.....

Haha we love you too! Though tbh it was more the flat out denial of many dubs that the ex hurricane was anything a bit more 'than wind' lol just because ye didn't get the worse effects of the storm.

As for your other point - remember there's over 3 million people living outside Dublin who help pay for Dublin and those living there.

But whos counting eh? Enjoy the 'snow'

Aaaah, no, the money flows the other direction. Dublin contributes more to its country brethren than vice versa.

Thank god there's people on here who actually share my opinion. On the proper weather forum it was full of delusional idiots worrying.

Has your opinion changed I wonder?

It's only for Dublin, Kildare, Louth, Wicklow and Meath but yes, if you're in one of those counties, no school.

Looks like a couple of inches fell in north Dublin overnight. Info on Dublin Bus route curtailments in link

Guy I work with is off for rest of week, not snow related, just using up his holidays.

Says if the schools are closed and his kids are at home he's coming in. I believe him too.

Jesus. It's snowing in Dublin! I thought it was only going to be... localised... national emergency now!

Badly Drunk Boy

It looks lovely and pretty and very white outside, here in Kildare. I've to go to hospital later for a minor procedure so that should be fun (the procedure and getting there in the first place).

Hi there, is your procedure an emergency? The HSE sent out an advisory yesterday afternoon telling us all non emergency appointments should be cancelled, including all outpatient appointments, for today, tomorrow and Friday. If you haven't been contacted, I'd say it would be a good idea to contact the hospital before travelling.

Met Éireann issues red weather alert and warns of 25cm of snow: Warning issued at 5am for Dublin and much of east coast

...After snow accumulations of between 5 and 10cm since Tuesday night, Met Éireann warned that total snowfall up to midday on Thursday may reach 25cm.

Why do people say their trips should be “fun” in these poor weather conditions. As someone with a 200klm commute round trip daily I can assure you it’s not fun at all.

Well its good to see RTE is keeping us updated with euro news, teleshoping and repeats of Maura and Dahiti
