How cold is it in Ireland? Or is everyone going silly, saw another thread about running out of bread in a supermarket, lol

It was -13 where I live this morning, nice and crisp air, not cold enough to need a balaclava or to bring society to its knees. Everything and everyone working as normal.

I don't care whether they do or don't, people need to be personally responsible for their own decisions and stop hiding behind these weather alerts.
They're a joke and until such time as people keep heeding them they'll continue.
Having said that, work was a pure joy today as there was no one on the roads!!

I love your username

Okaaaaaay so there were no predictions of the Banks losing the run of themselves? Excessive lending & borrowing? It came as a bolt from the blue?? :ermm:

I think you got lost looking for a banking thread. This thread is about the weather event in Ireland.

No - am listening to the criticism & praise of the Gov response to this short occurrence. I just wish they had been as diligent in the past.

Been saying this alot the past few days.

Also I was in Budapest in January. It was alot colder there but didn't feel like it. Got off the plane in Dublin airport to the usual wind, I wanted to hope back on board to snowy Budapest.

I think it's the wind here that makes things colder. Wasn't much wind lately.

Reason it doesn't feel as cold is due to the Siberian air mass being so dry. Normally our air mass has higher humidity and makes it feel colder. Similar to when you get out of the shower. Once you dry off it feels less cold.
Put your hand in a basin of water, go outside and you're hand will be dry in a minute. That wouldn't happen if this was an Atlantic air mass.

Thanks Evelyn.

Some people were stuck on a motorway near Glasgow for 20 hours and they had to drop blankets and food to them, can you imagine what that would be like!!.

No blizzars yet in Dublin 13

Well I don't care what anyone else says I am very glad of the red alert and that my family is at home safe and warm . I saw the people caught out in 82 and sitting in cars on the Naas road waiting for hours for help . My family is safe , babys feed stocked up , essential medicine in the fridge , plenty of heating oil , and enough bread to feed an army !!

The people stuck overnight on the motorway in Scotland might have preferred it was a red alert

Not back in until Monday. No complaints here.

Not sure you meant to quote me but if you did I'm a bit scared because I'm not far from Dublin 13

That's why people are stuck for 20 hours on a motorway.

Ok lads if that what ye think, keep doing the fruity non-maths. I think a Gov has a duty to those they represent in all matters. If you want to define their duty to this occurrence & give them plaudits, fine. They aren't so stellar in other issues, eg Housing, Health, Employment, Mental Health, Transport. I won't go on cos I'd be accused of trying to add up an entire fruit hamper mix!

Do you know what the worst part about this is? Emma hasn't even arrived yet. She's only pushing into the England now.
