This snow event will turn into Bread Wars, and what to do with the leftovers!

French toast and bread and butter pudding both excellent uses for stale bread

In case people haven't read the technical threads many of the latest models are starting to agree that the cold spell may in fact last beyond the weekend and not thaw at the weekend as previously thought. But still very early days

Chrongen · 28-02-2018 08:28PM

started to come down again in Dublin CC.

I'm off to the pub to listen to stories of marooned and stranded-ness

Wish ppl would pipe down on the excitement and extend a thought to the elderly, farmers and front-line emergency personnel who have to deal with potentially life threatening situations.

As a member of a search and rescue team who have been on alert since last night I can say I’ve zero problem with people getting excited or wanting to have a snow day. I’m hoping for the same here for my kids.

What I will say is the person who goes up the sally gap for a selfies in a rwd car in shorts and a T-shirt with no idea how to drive in the snow or up lugga for a stroll having never walked a hill in their life with no supplies or plan should have a serious think about the consequences of that action.

I hope everyone is safe but I am also very excited to see the snow along with 99% of people on this thread!

Thank you. I'm not looking forward to tomorrow evening/Friday. Sheds open to the east with cattle and sheep in them. My fear is that they will fill with snow in the blizzard. Sheep are on the point of lambing too.

In 2010 I had a baby Dec 7th and had to move house 17th Dec. Snow and ice everywhere I can just remember it being such a nightmare. Really enjoying it this time round. Can't wait for tomorrow!

Funnily enough I was just thinking before this cold spell started that at any given time theres a large number of pregnant women and how incredibly unlucky each one must feel to be giving birth around this time

jimmynokia · 28-02-2018 08:29PM

Coming down again now DN22

mickmackey1 · 28-02-2018 08:30PM

Noooo as much as I am enjoying it at the moment I have to work Monday and Tues (frontline) and due to fly out on a holiday of a lifetime booked a year ago next saturday......cold I can deal with not more snow.....

Aimsir · 28-02-2018 08:31PM

sryanbruen: the warning was further down the Met Eireann Web page. Thanks

demakinz · 28-02-2018 08:32PM

It's been snowing non stop in Edenderry for at least two hours now. very windy too. I can't really get over the amount already and still the worst to come.

Artane2002 · 28-02-2018 08:32PM

Still snowing in Dublin 5

D.Q · 28-02-2018 08:32PM

Thats absolutely mad.
Even in 2010 the weather reports were so toned down by comparison..in fact I distinctly remember thinking the weather reports at the time of snowfalls didn't sound as intense as they turned out in reality.

PixelTrawler · 28-02-2018 08:33PM

Lashing snow here in Clonsilla the last 2 hours ish but its hard to tell if its putting much down. Was really light dust, think its bigger flakes now but its hard to tell they are going by the LED street lamps so fast.

Nettle Soup · 28-02-2018 08:34PM

Amazing experience driving home in West Galway. Blizzard at times, I could hardly see the road - had to drive by memory!

cdsb46 · 28-02-2018 08:34PM

Near white out conditions in Drumcondra/Whitehall just now

ongarboy · 28-02-2018 08:34PM

D15 has had continuous snow falling for almost 2 hours now. Easily another5 or 6cms on top of this morning's Snow!

I conceived my first child during the December 2010 snow. So did half the parents of the children in my daughter's class because 10 kids have September/Early October birthdays.

So be prepared everyone, snow cuddles have consequences

easyvision · 28-02-2018 08:35PM

Looks like South DUB is escaping an shower, technically under 1 currently but not a flake in Cabinteely. This house bound thing has me craving serious comfort food!!

pistolpetes11 · 28-02-2018 08:35PM

I use raintoday.co.uk but thats the premium version , think its 25 buck a year

highdef · 28-02-2018 08:36PM

Thundersnow....Kildare/Meath border. Been under that snow train for a few hours now. Must have at least 25cm on the ground now (solid ground), not the grass!!! Drifts already ovre 50cm high

Difference with 2010 is that there very little wind in comparison so drifting was not really an issue as such. I think I have a few Met Éireann forecasts archived from that period, I'll try to root them out later.
