    Yeah thats right I heard my granny on about the snow of 1947. She said she had to walk to school and the snow was as high as the telegraph poles !

    The first telegraph poles were installed upside down, only two foot visible above ground.

    Could, should, we believe. How the rhetoric has changed from yesterday.

    What has changed since yesterday. Nothing from what I can see.

    What have people got against staying safe indoors?

    some people just can't seem to be able to calm down and chill out for a few days

    Yep. Because the weather is so easy to predict.

    We should privatise the weather.

    They wanted people home before the storm hits, not as it hits.

    Jeso I didn't think I was on the weather thread! Thought it was a looser thing. Have been reading loads of ppl all day posting 

    Jeso I didn't realise this had become the weather thread here! 
    I have been reading this thread all day where posters both praised & damned the gov/media for over-hyping this event. Those that said the Gov was over-exaggerating it all were slated & I agree, Gov issued proper advice! What I find hard to accept is this gratitude to the Gov for doing the right thing. I only wanted to point out that they never got an emergency task force together when it went belly up for so many people? Chill

    Some agenda to bring it back to the banks.

    I'm not sure how you thought it was a looser thing given the thread title and the subject of the thread being the reaction to the weather.
    The posters didn't stick to the title either tho? Did u lay into them? A lot came out in force bitchin about the media & Gov reaction. I only said what I feel about Gov response. You seem to be very sensitive about the banker issue?

    I don't see how it had anything to do with banks. This is about the weather event and the response to it.

    By all means start a thread about your issues with how the government dealt with the banks.

    It's also possible to say they got it right in one area and wrong in a completely different area.

    But this thread is about the weather event. I'm not sure what part of that you don't get.

    Shakes head. Weather can be predicted up to a point but there are many variables when predicting weather.

    Just because the weather didn't get bad on the stroke of four o'clock today doesn't mean the weather won't get worse at some stage.

    So Limerick city didn't get snow.......big deal. The rest of us did get snow. A lot of snow.

    Based on some of the comments in this thread, I think the government should declare a national emergency due to the number of foreigners who have split their sides from laughing at us for the last few days.

    Let them off to their own countires if they have an issue with it. The snowfall is extreme. The driving conditions are lethal and the wind is picking up now.

    Warning in place from 4pm does not mean that the storm is going to hit at exactly 4pm.
