    Seriously?

    Yep. We endured much colder and snowier winters in the 1970s and 1980s (including the exceptionally prolonged snows of 1982 which I remember as a 7 year old) and Ireland was a much poorer and less well resourced country back then. We can’t seem to manage nearly as well now.

    Well, I really doubt that we're any worse. What you're saying is along the lines of "in my day we walked 12 miles to school, uphill both ways! Kids today blah de blah blah".

    Maybe there was just a more a slapdash approach to safety back then?

    Galway should never have joined the Leinster Hurling Championship. Now we have to share their Red Alerts while the rest of Connaught gets away with an orange.

    This too shall pass.

    It's the media tearing the arse out of it. Gets way more coverage when it affects the east too. Wall to wall coverage all week.

    Was out walking home from a friends there in south Dublin, snow is so deep you can't see where the path ends and the road starts.

    Something so therapeutic about being out walking when the everything is so bright and calm. I love it :)

    Lots of places had lots of snow overnight! Look at people’s accounts and photos in the weather forum.

    If you Identify as a snowed in/snow lover,and some nay-sayers here are on your back because they don't understand what you are experiencing right now..it's not your fault.

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

    Yeah. Some parts of Co Wicklow badly hit and covered in snow. Others upto yesterday had no snow at all. Bray Head was kinda sheltering Greystones yesterday for example.

    It was so much easier to blame it on Them. It was bleakly depressing to think that They were Us. If it was Them, then nothing was anyone's fault. If it was us, what did that make Me? After all, I'm one of Us. I must be. I've certainly never thought of myself as one of Them. No one ever thinks of themselves as one of Them. We're always one of Us. It's Them that do the bad things.

    Must have escaped so, happy days. I see a good few pictures on twitter anyway.

    I thought the same until daylight.


    Have at least a metre high in the back and same in front with what i can only describe as mounds of snow going across the road. Road is impasssible without use of shovels.

    No power here in Kildare and the snow is still falling. This is no joke.

    Wow, that was a big snow dump on us overnight. In our area this is much worse than 2010 and anything I saw in the 82.
    We had a power cut but back on now. Myself and some neighbours going out in a bit to check on some of our elderly neighbours.

    Little new snow since Wednesday out where I am in North County Dublin. Looks like a little thaw even.

    But very high gusty winds continuously for the last 3 days.

    Same here in south Dublin . Its a metre high at the front door and drifting higher in parts . Its half way up the car doors so we are practically snowed in . At least we have electricity and have filled pots with water too . My friend in Mulhuddert has no power since last night
