    Just went outside and nearly got blown away by blizzard conditions!



    Just kidding there's nothing in D18 (please send snow) :mad:
    I can see big patches of sky above me (i.e. don't have complete cloud cover).

    Not looking likely for us.

    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.

    Agree. I live in Switzerland and by the looks of things, the snow yous have now is worse than anything here all winter.

    In addition, from time to time, they get caught out with the bad weather and there can be just as much travel chaos.

    With Netweather.TV Radar turning weather type OFF gives better results .

    You guys on the southside have no idea what you're missing.

    Blizzard conditions, snow piling up. Visibility a real issue here with the drifting.

    We're never going to be great driving in the snow because we barely ever get any of it. But we're crap drivers. Drive anywhere, any day and the road it full of drivers who won't or can't be bothered to do the basics properly or use common sense.

    Throw this at them, death rate per 100,000 drivers - Ireland- 4.1, Poland - 10.3

    Edit: Is per 100,000 inhabitants

    Seen enough lunatic drivers in real life today! Spinning out all day in my estate.

    My house is on a corner leading into my estate. Lost count the number of tools who’ve nearly spun, hit another car or come through my front garden because they’re going to fast around the corner. What is it with people and these conditions in cars? They think they’re some sort of magic vehicles.

    Coming down hard in D11, sideways, drifts starting. Bit worried now for tomorrow. I think snowfall amounts will be staggering in certain areas.

    It looks from the radar that Westmeath should have been in status red today.
    Absolutely. We have had such a lot of snow already and it been belting down more in the past hour. The poor dogs cant want walk through the snow, they have to jump through it

    There is some development in the Irish sea that may be more favorable in the next hour or two.

    Long time lurker, first time poster

    Such an incredible vista with the snow. Will be a long time before we ever see anything of this magnitude.

    Kudos and thanks to the regular posters for sharing their expertise and predictions.
