Nothing like a weather event to expose the rampant cretin like intellect that runs deep in this country.

Nobody cares about your precious little brats and whether or not they could go to school and nobody cares about your small business either.

Lives could potentially be lost in what is an unprecedented and unpredictable situation.

It is one or two days so get a grip and think of the wider community and the emergency services instead of your own self-centred little universe.

Someone put me out of my misery, it's been a long month watching and waiting for beast to arrive and this thread is torture for someone who hasn't got a snowflake yet

sryanbruen · 01-03-2018 05:32PM

Just a bit white at Grange today :cool:.

Me before I was about to go into a snowball fight with some lads.

TV3 keep on talking about the 4pm curfew.

It's not 'The Purge'.....

-1c in Limerick. Cloudy.

Did Leo not say the army would shoot anyone caught outdoors during the storm

erica74 · 01-03-2018 05:32PM

Still snowing in South Kilkenny but no sign of Emma.

Where is the best place to leave some food for the birds, they are digging all the snow looking for things to eat. We don’t have a bird feeder

When is it socially acceptable to start drinking. Right after the start of the red alert or should one wait until some snow starts to fall at least?

I would say 5pm is socially acceptable. I’m prepping mine already!!

Issue is some media are calling it a curfew and probably why some are taking the micky out of it by saying Leo and his lot will come after you if you are not indoors by 4pm

Who are calling it a curfew?

leahyl · 01-03-2018 05:33PM

This is the most unpredictable weather event I think we’ve had! Siobhan Ryan saying record breaking snow, others saying that the south may have rain tomorrow morning...

Gonzo · 01-03-2018 05:33PM

total whiteout now in Dunshaughlin.

snow being whipped up 20+ feet into the air.

large flakes, almost horizontal snow.

redsteveireland · 01-03-2018 05:34PM

Mini drifts this morning in Galway.

It has been topping up all day with some lovely drifts around the local fields.

On the ground is grand, they'll work away.

jamesbere · 01-03-2018 05:34PM

Probably another few hours before it hits cork or am i wrong

irishfeen · 01-03-2018 05:34PM

Just got our water back up and running (private well) here in North Cork. Pipes in outhouse completely froze with pressure vessel cut in switch froze too... out with heaters and we eventually got it going

I've been throwing it out and they're picking it up no bother but I've also put out a large lunch box lid with seed and oats on it so they even been landing on that too.

ZeroSum76 · 01-03-2018 05:35PM

Close to Wicklow Head it's started to fall as snow - good sign for the deprived east coastal towns. Worry was sleet. Mad looking at a wall of it coming in from the Irish Sea!

bosco12345 · 01-03-2018 05:35PM

When will storm Emma hit north Leinster? Snowing here in virginia all day, 8 inches 4ft drifts, wind picking up strongly now

Lol, this made me laugh for real, don't hold back now.

thelad95 · 01-03-2018 05:35PM

Some people seriously need to cop on, self serving eejits who’d have their staff try and trudge into and home too work in a once in a lifetime blizzard all for a days business possibly being lost.

Meanwhile I’m in maynooth and I wouldn’t be surprised if we have gotten the worst of it, the canal is frozen, snow up to shins in most places and the town on complete lockdown except for one pub!

leahyl · 01-03-2018 05:36PM

Any reports from Wexford of the arrival of Emma?

Iceman1984 · 01-03-2018 05:36PM

Very cold but calm here in south Tipperary, small gusts of wind so far.

We have a bird feeder, and the feckers are ignoring it and continuing to burrow in the snow and up and down the trees. More fools them.

A few flakes in an otherwise dry and cold Limerick.

Flakes falling for most of the day here in the Burren most of the day.....just above Ennis

Sully · 01-03-2018 05:36PM

Not really much activity in Kilkenny town. So far the past couple of days were overnight accumulations but noting holding during the day

Hope it gets on with it for Wicklow/Rathnew, the kids are going spare with the lack of it (and lack of school!)

moeblogs · 01-03-2018 05:37PM

So did Tv3 by the looks of it...
