    Does it absolutely infuriate anyone else when people say "ah Ireland is so dramatic, Canada/Poland/Austria get this weather all the time"?


    Eh yes but that is their climate. Absolutely head wrecking.
    Yes 100%. A friend from the US has been complaining all day on FB that we're all 'crazy'.

    The northside must be like a different planet to the southside.

    Square root of fcuk all in Firhouse since this morning but what fell last night night and earlier has held admirably. Hoping for bucketfuls tonight.

    Are the current falls in Dublin coming over in an arc that avoids me or something?

    I am in the path for Maynooth, Lucan, Ph Park, all mentioned, but nothing here. Radar says it should happen, but it hasn't. Very localised it seems.

    I have 4 family members and a load of friends and in-laws that were supposed to fly out to Vegas tomorrow also. Disappointed for them.

    Lamp post watching is well and truly over for me - all the windows are frozen and covered in snow. Heavy falls last night, this morning and non stop for the last 4 hours - can’t imagine what tomorrow will bring!! - Tullamore

    It's quite unreal, it's the same here in Edenderry all day showers and now 4 hours of constant snow. Could be a very intersing 48 hours.

    It looks from the radar that Westmeath should have been in status red today.

    Like, how do they think we're going to learn to drive in snow? Should we all be doing driving lessons in the arctic circle as part of our EDT? :P

    Constant clearing 600 acres after streamers is tough going. Much easier for countries that get frontal snow. Let it Snow, clear it. Off we go again. Stop start nature of streamers is actually more difficult to deal with.

    Snowfall starting again here in Ballincollig. Just measured 3.5 centimetres on my balcony. I was expecting more snow by now. Temperature out here is -2°C, dew point -4. air pressure seems to have stabilised at around 1009mb.

    Good luck trying to figure me out. I haven't managed that myself yet!
