Out getting supplies for snowmageddon at the moment - people (not me) are starting to panic buy here, lidl shelves were getting stripped of water, milk, ping pong balls, crochet sets and digital micrometers.

Is this the end, my friend?

For many people this is really turning in to yet another non event.
In 2010 Dublin had temperatures down to minus 15 and over 50cms for Christmas then another similar dose end of Jan.

You know that happened in midwinter, right?

In 2010, cars didn't disappear either, though the snow was deeper. Naturally, because it was a much longer cold spell. This was never forecast to be as long so the comparison is meaningless. If you're expecting it to be like 2010 then, yeah, it's a non-event. But it was never advertised as such.

Keep your phones charged. You never know where the power will be cut next.

Thats not good.

Fingers crossed that it can be restored before morning, The old would be very vulnerable in these conditions.

Yeah you're right, they've been selling this so hard for the last week as the biggest nationwide snow event (mid whatever season) in living memory*, people are convincing themselves 2 cm is deep.

Anyone know how long we can expect these conditions to last? Any end in sight anytime soon?

It seems that Ireland just can't handle some unusually cold conditions and snow. It's ridiculous.

Stay warm and safe people!

The snowfall is highly variable depending on where you are which means that for many people, it seems like a non-event. But where I am, we've had deep accumulations and I'm even way behind what others have reported here. I think over the three nights, I'm probably looking at between 20 and 30 cms, maybe more even! It's been snowing constantly for almost 24 hours.

And actually, in 2010, snowfall was very variable too. I was living in the west at the time and we got much less snow than the east. Quite small amounts actually but because it was cold, that small amount lay on the ground for weeks.

It was just everyone heading to laba at the same time.

It really does look amazing when so much of it settles. Front garden and path are currently under maybe 3-4 inches of a perfect white carpet of snow.

In what way are we not handling it? The biggest issues is the roads and the only way that can be solved is by having an army of slow ploughs at the ready across the whole county, which if we had would actually be ridiculous since these kinds of events occur only once in a decade if that.

It barely even snowed here yesterday until late evening. There's a bit of snow today in that it actual covered the ground properly. Five or six years ago there was weather MUCH worse than this. Sure maybe tonight I didn't go out and it'll be worse overall (?) but it's not like we have to go in a car journey. I can't hear the wind blowing harshly, I don't feel cold.

I'll have a look tomorrow after waking up and I'm almost hoping there'll be a good couple of feet of thick snow, otherwise I feel cheated!

I feel ashamed to be Irish.

"It's beginning to snow again. The flakes, silver and dark, are falling obliquely against the lamplight. It's probably falling all over the island; on the central plain, on the treeless hills, falling softly upon the graveyards, upon the crosses and headstones, upon all the living and the dead..."

I know! We had more snow Wednesday than we had in the past 24 hours. 2010 was much worse. There were drifts of 6 inches then. We have 2-3 inches in the garden and it’s thawed out on the cars.

Casualsingby

Under a red warning for 25 hours and not a bit of snow, changed to orange and not a bit of snow lol. Schools closed for 2 days for nothing.

Jaysus just looked out the front. There's drifts of 6 feet out there!

It was never said that this would be on a par with 2010.

And 2010 saw great variations in snowfall too. Where I was in the west actually had quite a small amount of snowfall despite the cold. But because it was midwinter and well below freezing even during the day, the small amount compacted and lingered.

Some people in this country will be waking up to deep drifts this morning.
