    It is indeed perfectly sensible to provide a warning.

    But when warnings are delivered as edicts, the public should take a long hard look.

    The public should be trusted to make and take their own decisions as regards their personal safety.

    Nobody made any edicts.
    It was a warning, which you seem to be taking as an edict.
    You are being oversensitive.

    I was talking to my mother earlier.
    She was a child during the big freeze of 1947 and remembers all the fun she had playing in the snow etc. They built an igloo.

    I will be sure to get my 7 year old kid some great memories of this snow fall, he might have a beard by the time we see an event like this again.

    If work sent you home, pop open a beer and enjoy the 5 day weekend, and be thankful they offered any advice.

    I told work this morning I couldn't be in and got a grumble, then found out from our own website the place was closed all day. No communication whatsoever.

    Cheers. I think after Ophelia they learnt a lesson. Still have to work from home but it did give me the opportunity to stop for beer on the way home! Still up in the air regarding tomorrow. It would be fine if we had snow in the morning, but if not if it's like today it's hard to justify not going in. Only issue is it's a 75 mile round trip.

    Just because your area didn't see much doesn't mean everywhere saw very little...

    Are we still looking at 20cm or more in Leinster today/tonight? It's bloody nice out there now, and there's more sun than i've seen in weeks.

    Don't want it all to go :(

    And that's exactly my point it's a blanket warning for Dublin when the city centre is at best a yellow. That's why they need to improve their warning system and get rid of blanket county warnings, introduce a bubble type warning.

    There is a weather warnings thread , you can post away to your hearts content in there about the warnings system , Lets keep this one on track please

    Then it will blow your mind that there are townlands beside each other in Meath called Muff and Knobber.

    I have actually been on the Knobber-Muff road

    I bet you've never been to Effin or Nicker :D

    :) I stand corrected.

    Also it sounds like a sleazy follow up to “Love actually”

    A little bit of thawing in Ringsend but not much, and anywhere in the shade is like an ice rink. Plenty of clouds around so not that much exposure to the sun. Snow still lying thick in places.

    Pelting it down now for the last 5/10 mins a few miles north of Tuam. Very powdery dry snow. Delighted for all those in the East that were looking for snow and got it, but great to finally see some falling out this way too!

    Snowing a bit in Cork City at the moment, surprised we got as much as we did this morning. Caused a good bit of disruption in some areas.

    Going into work soon, will see if we're off tomorrow then.

    Any guidance on whether Dublin will get more snow from streamers later? I though by MT’s forecast we’d have more by now, maybe I’m wrong?
