    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!

    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 ;)

    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.

    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.

    Would those of you who know think that there will be crunchy snow underfoot in the morning say 11am or so, or will it be all ice and dangerous for walking?

    I know it is impossible to say, but I ain't taking car out until it all melts, yep I'm a wimp, but I can walk fifteen minutes to see an old lady I know and bring a few bits and pass the time for her, and me!

    But I had a bad fall in 2010 and I walk like a penguin in this type of weather, terrified!

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

    Lots of them are been spammed across whatsapp groups, but /r/ireland on reddit has many going around too.

    2010 isn't really a comparable event in anyway if this actually plays out the way it is looking at the moment. 82 seems more something of this nature although I wasn't around back then so can't really grasp the magnitude of that event.

    Interesting that the Met Eireann forecast above mentions "flooding" for coastal regions along the south and east. It will just be our luck in Wicklow Town after having missed out on all the streamer fun last night, that our DP's will be too high and we will get rain instead of snow tomorrow night!!
