If they are, I really hope you tip the driver well!

Yeah went to my local Chinese (nothing in the fridge due to bad planning) and tipped them half of what the order came to. I'm not a stickler on tips normally as so much bad service out there, but today they deserve something, no fun driving in today and home at silly o clock.

Fair play to her. Front line worker. Looks like our ill prepared (for this weather we don't normally get) electricity network is suffering, lots of outages now.

And... I'd leave the giggling till the actual storm hits! It still could be a big unprecedented weather event.

Yeah, could be a very interesting night. People indoors all day long, can lead to all sorts of fun injuries. She was saying that the there is going to one hell of a flood when this starts to thaw and that's worse than the snow itself, in her experience.

We've had a constant blizzard more or less since 11am near mullingar.

roads completely impassable.
snow piled up inside walls and hedgerows.
snow accumulated in huge drifts around sides of houses.

we won't be going anywhere for a while

SidekickSimon · 01-03-2018 09:45PM

A non event so far. Starting to rain now

Clickbait · 01-03-2018 09:45PM

Don't know if I should set my alarm for the morning or not.

We were sent home from work at lunch time and are off tomorrow, all quiet here so far, be interesting to see if we get hit at all

I reckon it will happen. Warm, moist air from Portugal with a heavy water content is making it's way from the South to meet cold Siberian wind coming from the East. When the cold hits the warm wet air it will turn to ice and snow and dump a lot, in a short amount of time. The question is when? It's hard to predict when it will happen, so experts reckon four today was the absolute earliest it could happen. It hasn't happened yet.

Fighting the urge to post a joke about being stuck in Mullingar.

The thaw could be a mare. Worse if it was in Autumn with leaves.

Midnight for limerick now. What happened to 4pm. Farcical stuff. I think I'll go for a run. This is the most pathetic excuse for a blizzard in the history of mankind.

So unfortunate to read of that 7 year old girl.

Fake news.

All the white scenery from around the country was done on the set of Fair City.

This is our faked moon landings!!!1!eleven!

Why the hell did they warn /cajole everyone to be indoors by 4 this evening when this feckin storm has only begun to hit land now?!?

Samuel T. Cogley · 01-03-2018 10:08PM

People forget that we had two, or was it three people die the last time we had high winds, let alone high winds and snow. It's simply not worth it because people are too lazy not to get a takeaway for a couple of days.

jimbobaloobob · 01-03-2018 10:09PM

I know its different everywhere, but could gather all the snow thats here in a mug.

What are boardsies doing to keep entertained while Leo wont let us out with the code red?

Storms change direction, speed, etc. May end up bypassing certain areas all together. The worst was planned and warned for.

Because that's the earliest that it could have hit. It's impossible to pinpoint the exact minute it's going to happen. It's the weather, not the tide.
