They weren’t correct about 4pm. Even you have to admit that.

Are you for real? Do you think any vaguely rational person expected a snowstorm to manifest across the 26 counties at 4pm sharp?

You are insufferable.

They never said the storm would hit at 4. They advised people to be home by then.

They wanted people in before it hit not just as it arrived.

Also it's almost impossible to predict the exact time the storm will hit a day beforehand so you can get over your few hours that they were out.

I’m in Co Wicklow. Cold night. Windy. Nothing that unusual

So it snows every night where you live?

I am in Bray now and it's a very unusual night. Snowing very heavily and wind is getting stronger.

Some great fights going on across all the forums tonight.

Cabin fever has already set in it seems.

Day two is only minutes away. Today will seem like a picnic.

Man whinging about government recommendation to stay indoors ends up staying indoors to post about it on the internet.

Fantastic.

In fairness, because of all the unnecessary palaver, there is nowhere to go. Might as well stay in.

Yeah they''re using the weather to imprison us in a perpetual dystonia by giving the kids and their parents a day off.

This is terrible.

Orwell wrote of the government creating an artificial semi permanent state of fear and anxiety in the general population in order to control them. That is analogous to what is being done to the irish population over the last year or two with the semi permanent weather warnings and attempt to keep us in constant fear of the weather.

Very much doubt my neighbour was the only person to ignore the warnings.

The local pub for example was packed out this evening. Load of ppl having a great time and drinking away no work in the morning.

Jesus christ they had to pick a time, at the time they announced it their data suggested 4 o clock but things involving the weather can never be giranteed like that.

Pull your head out of your ass ffs

It’s not ‘snowing heavily’ in Bray. I’m in Greystones. There’s a strong wind and tiny flecks of snow.
Nothing to get all excited about.

Because lots of roads are not safe to drive on and there is no public transport.

It's called foresight.

Better that than what I saw from Scotland tonight where people are complaining they were told nothing and are trapped in their cars on the icy roads. People who were allowed off work early in Edinburgh were going out to the cars and lorries with food and supplies for those trapped in them. Something like that happened here in 1982 when some did not get home for days. Do people want situations like that here again? It's only going to be for a few days. Better to be safe than sorry, as my mother used to say!

But the news showed ppl swimming in the sea.

More power to them.

Why don't you go join them and save us all from your inane wittering?

Beethoven9th · 02-03-2018 01:03AM

Why did they put Eoghan Murphy in charge of this anyway. He cant find his arse from his elbow with just deciding how many homeless people there are in Dublin !

misstearheus · 02-03-2018 01:04AM

Can ye imagine... If Boards Bosses banned ALL Snow talk and associated blame-imparting..... Oh. My. God! What would we all do... We'd have nothing else to talk about! :P:pac:

Save up some of the snow. You will need it because the people of the West won't give you water from the Shannon.

ive seen people in the West out watering their moss-ridden lawns after 3 sunny days!;)

Snow is absolutely class, the standstill the country comes to is a great novelty. It's like reality and the world stop, people seem friendlier. Perhaps its the scarcity of it is what gives it such a mystique. But I'm loving it.

It’s probably cuz they can’t legally declare a curfew that they use the weasel words like advice and strongly recommend.

Thank fcuk they can’t legally do it.

Why would they want to declare a curfew?

Jeez, some people are never happy. The same lads complaining they were advised to stay inside are the same lads who'll complain when the emergency services are called out to rescue some c*nt who went for a wander outside.

To be fair, public transport shut down, government shutdown, private businesses shut down out of fear of liability. Might as well be a curfew.

But it’s not a curfew. The govt shuts down for months in the summer, that’s not a curfew either.

AMKC · 02-03-2018 01:05AM

There is no sun just clouds. It should be pitch black outside the back of the house but instead its like there is street lights on. Anyone else have this outside their house. It's not just tonight either it was like this the last two nights as well.

I have a theory but could be wrong. First I want to know has anyone else noticed it.

manonboard · 02-03-2018 01:06AM

my friend was out in the pub tonight.
There was the odd cheeky snapchat bragging,
He's fecked up his knee awful on the way home. Said it was just a slip, but cant put pressure on it at all. Nothing broken thankfully.

Awful eejit for being out tonight. He never goes out.

Mind yourself folks. Take it easy and enjoy the indoor rest.

How did they get out with the curfew??

There is no such thing as a Beer Jacket.

Junkyard Tom · 02-03-2018 01:09AM

Just turned the lights off in the house because the Irish Army were shooting people for being out in the snow.

Where I am in south Dublin it is properly vicious now
